Fads!

What's popular around you now?  Right now people have squishies, sillybands, and (the dummest idea ever) mighty beans.  Does anybuggy follow the fads, or do you prefer not to because you think they're weird?  Sorry, I have to go!!

PS, has anybuggy heard of what I mentioned above?

Sorry, MJ. I suppose u could read 'u' and interpret 'you' or 'srry' for 'sorry'.

Silly Bandz is literally how they are spelled. They are cool, sorta...my sister had an orange kangaroo, and I was like, wow a shaped rubber band!! Then I found a blue turtle and was like, YES. Shortly after, my sister got a [forgot color] star. later, my little sister wanted one of my freind's bands, and he said, okay I'll give you this on because I've got two. It was a red seahorse, and then my litlle sister got bored with it, so I took it and was like "...wow." Then some kid at the park who had some on his wrist gave me one, a black microphone, oh yeah before that my sister got a broken angel one she didn't want so I took it. Then after the park I saw "Silly Bandz" on then net and was like, "..oh. I know what these are." And just a litle while ago I went 2 the pool, and it said, "No Silly Bands (ha they forgot the z) in the pool." And then I was like, "...oh. Sillybands are trying to take over the world..." EVIL. They are still pretty cool and those 4 that I have are still here, but I never even think about taking them on my wrist to someplace. Oh yeah my little sister got 3 from her freind.

That help? AND WHAT ARE MIGHTY BEANS? Admin?

Well . . . THIS Admin has never heard of mighty beans. But I do know of MAGIC beans. When you plant them, you get something magic!

Ok, so I looked up Mighty Beanz on Wikipedia, and bahaha I gotta say, it made me laugh...  I had a ton when I was little.  They were originally sold from 2002 - 2006, and have just started being sold again in 2010.  They look sorta like inch-long beans made from plastic, usually with some dumb picture on them (and other characters like Marvel characters, The Simpsons, Pokemon, and TMNT).  They have a metal ball thingy inside of them, so they flop around, almost like they're "alive" (ooh sooo exiciting...).  They cost $2.99 for a three pack, so that's $1.00 per "bean".  Wow.

You're kidding, right? People actually buy those? *sigh* I will never understand the majority of the world...

Silly Bandz are HUGELY popular where I live, they even had an article about them in our local newspaper. xP I admit, I have a couple, but they're only...the non-popular kind. xD Like a orange cat. //odd

 

Mighty Beanz...those things look absolutely riduculous! I can't believe people actually buy those!

*sticks a random cat onto the board*

 

Another fad around here is wearing oversized wrist bands, with matching hoodies. There's one for Monsters (a drink), one for various types of cancer, one for Amp...etc. It's rather odd. xD

 

Also, there's even a fad for handwriting. *googles image* My computer won't let me post it...but it's all.. tall-ish and loopy. xD

 

And Phonezoo, which is a site that allows you to send images and sayings to your cell phone. 

 

In conclusion, children, most fads are rather ridiculous. Thank you for attending this brief seminar. xD

I used to think the same thing, Ima, but trust me, someday you will. ;)
