The Internet is great for a lot of things, like instantly finding out the name of that actor who was in that one movie you liked, and reminding you of a trend you lived for as a preteen, but haven’t thought about since. A thread on AskReddit has people sharing all kinds of those unearthed memories by asking, “What was a huge trend everyone forgot about?”
These are some of those once very popular trends that have basically disappeared:
Silly Bandz

If you are old enough, you can't beat mood rings and pet rocks.
Planking
We all tried it. Some of us were better than others!

Hoverboards. Every mall kiosk was selling them. Everyone was getting them for Christmas. People were selling them out of the trunk. I’ve still never set foot on one. They were everywhere.
