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 mom handmade klackers for me and my sisters, using craft type of materials. Still have mine somewhere.
Yo yos for mine. They have come in and out as fads over the years. But the reality is, even if you are great at it and have a great yo yo, it is a really dumb thing.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
I never got into Yo Yos I was never any good at them. But I did get real into Frisbrees.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
What do you mean? I'm saying I believe in an organized working class over electoral politics. It's not about a "third option" or third party. The lesser of two evils is still evil and young people are simply fed up. We aren't letting ourselves be gaslit by the establishment for yet another election. It's time to stop focusing on electoral politics and get boots on the ground, organize, even peaceful protests like non participation efforts and striking have huge effects. The only meaningful change in America has come from organized people-led movements, not from politicians. It's about putting pressure on those meant to serve you. The only way to effectively put pressure on an elected official is to show them you are capable of not voting for them. And an overwhelming number of Americans are tired of war, they're tired of not having healthcare, they're tired of seeing people living under bridges and struggling to pay for food or for housing. We're too far gone to keep continuously believing in the establishment and the corporate one party state. And no one's saying my view is the correct one, it's just what I and millions of others believe in. "Hope we get where we want eventually" is what liberals have been saying since Clinton, and while it's a comforting thought, there are too many people struggling and dying for me to continue believing in that. Peace and love.

Yikes! I guess I could say that I "participated" in the Hula-hoop and the yo-yo trends, since I technically tried my hand at them. However, I was terrible at both, which quickly killed my interest in them.
Oh, and speaking of dumb trends I could never master, Etch-A-Sketch was the bane of my existence...
(what was the whole point of it? Drawing with a pencil was easier and, generally speaking, better at achieving results...)

More permanent, too.

Dunno if this counts, but I remember being wild about writing with shiny/shimmering ink back in the day...
