My parents once told me that Cabbage Patch Kids and TMNT blew up huge when they came out.

Obviously Power Rangers took over the planet for a year or two.

Pokemon was nutso, and I actually have memories of that. >_>

Have there been any other mega -crazes since then?

I mean I know stuff like YuGiOh and Tamagotchis got pretty popular, but I dont think they ever hit 90s Pokemon level. >_>

Around November 2001 a lot of people started wearing American flag pins made of really tiny beads.

I was around for TMNT, it wasn't nearly as bonkers popular as Pokmon got. Cabbage Patch Kids even less so, but maybe that was before my time or something.

Angry Birds had a very brief run where they were everywhere. But that didn't last obviously.

Why didn't they make the movie until after the fad was over? What a bunch of morons.

They over-saturated themselves. There were so, so, so many fucking variations and tie-ins. They were so focused on their spin-offs that they forgot to do anything else.

Fidget spinners is another one

Widely popular games that have been popular for years like Call of Duty aren't fads. Fads are short lived, come and go within a year or two.

With that said, Pokemon really isn't a fad either as it's still popular like 25+ years later.

Fad is indeed the wrong word to use for Pokemon. Maybe Ali should have said phenomenom? Cultural impact?

Fidget spinners didn't last that long at all though did they? Like less than a year. It seemed like they lasted about as long as lazer pointers did when I was in middle school

Bubble Pop is the current fad instead of Fidget Spinners. It is in Australia at least but usually we have the same fads. It's another toy that was designed to settle autistic kids lol.

Among Us has fad written all over it. That was popular everywhere.
