Pretty much everyone had a Trapper Keeper in early-to-mid 90s elementary school.

Going by my personal experience it never came close to even half the class having them. Just found it odd they showed up for a period and not really used any more.

I feel like it was more a middle school thing when I was going through school, but most people had them.

high school it seemed like everyone switched to single subject notebooks for each class.

I had this badass Spider-Man one in kinda the style of the animated series. All the way through 6th grade until it was just torn to pieces from overuse.

Just more "stylish" three ring binders as I remember. I suppose they had a bit more utility with pockets/pouches.

Imagine thinking talking with a lisp makes you a nerd.

No wonder you weren't cool enough to have a Trapper Keeper.

It was way more organised than having a bunch of seperate folders and notebooks, duh. I wouldn't say everyone had them when I was a kid, but the vast majority did. And many of those that didn't wished they did. They were fucking awesome.
