I thought of something else: finger skateboards and finger scooters.

My parens worked at McDonalds for four years worth of Beanie Baby events. I have all of them.

Oh good god, I remember those.
I actually had a couple. Threw 'em out when we moved down to South Carolina from it's northern brother. XD

I remember the clicker things, the ones with the handle and you had to get into a rythm in order to keep the clicking going... I was always behind all the fads... meh. I also remember pogs, tamigochi's and slinky's.

:o We took this even further and made our own finger "snowboards" out of scrap metal- and sold them for $5 each! We actually managed to sell 3 of them- but our parents found out and made us refund their money :roll:.

Other crazes we had were skipping ropes, yoyos, chatter rings, juggling sticks, string game, elastics, and trading cards. I still own my chatter ring <3 - though the noise drives my family mad :lol:

EDIT: As well as oddbotz cards, Littlest Pet Shop, Rocket Erasers, Stickers and Polly Pocket

Mine were Pokémon cards, Digimon cards (Not that much), Krazy Bones and I think that's about it. Oh! Yo-yo's too !

Oh man I remember having a huge collection of pokemon cards. They were so cool back in the day. I remember the local Toys-R-Us used to hold tournaments every Saturday morning outside, it was insane.

And I remember collecting pogs when I was really young too O.o. I don't know what ever happened to those.
