It was a gag gift in the 70s.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
my only problem with the pet rock fad was that you were paying money for it. when I was a kid I figured the best sort of pet rock would be the kind that you found on a hiking trip and took home.
the dumbest fad I remember being okay with was wearing ripped jeans... but that was mostly because it was cheaper than getting rid of them! as long as the rips were not in a particularly objectionable place for the sake of public decency.
I never bought 'ripped stressed denim' jeans, though.
I had SEVERAL Mood Rings
I don't know if it was a fad pre se, but I had one of those switchblade combs.
Soccer(?) shoes. Not because we played sports.
Ah, but did you have mood lipstick? (They changed colour when you put them on.)

I had a couple of mood rings, too.

My mom was not crazy when my brother and I got this. I can still imagine the smell, decades later:
I was collecting Pokemon stickers for a while in elementary school. I only missed like 5 or 6 from those 156 (is that correct?) original Pokemons. It might not sound weird, but I only watched a few episodes of the animated series and didn't much care for it. The stickers just played into my collecting personality.

That gives me flashbacks to my elementary school too and how we all collected and fought for those damn Pokemon trading cards. To this day I’m still pissed I never got this:
