Strange, i'm seeing alot more of them recently.

Whoever mentioned Coca Cola reminded me of the competions they used have where if you collected 25 plastic labels and sent them away, you'd get a watch, personal stereo, alarm clock etc. I know a girl who used to rummage through bins to collect these. Must remend her of that sometime!

I remember all the kids in my class that thought they were hard men used to have a 'tail' haircut like this (but without the beard). It was a little like a mullet but not as stylish.

Or the reflectors you used to collect for the wheels on your bike!

If you got a number 7 printed on your lollypop label you got a free lolly-can't remember the names of the lollies now though, think it was the same with cool pops!

Or do you remember Push Pops 'Push a push pop, push it for flavour......'

Whassssssssssuuuuuppp!

Those slinky things that used to go down your stairs, granted I had one as a kid and knocked serious amounts of fun out of it. Well it was a pound shop knock-off version but still.

Reebok pumps! "Wanna play basketball?"
"Sure, just give me sec." *Reaches down to 'inflate' shoes to get more air*
I used to get made fun of in school for wearing the cheapest Dunnes runners going, one pair would literally last me until my feet were coming through them. I'm so glad I did and can honestly and happily say I've never once owned a pair of pumps, Nike Air Max or even Nike Air Max 2. (Did we really need a sequel to a pair f*cking runners???!!!)

languagenerd

A few years ago (around 2006) there was a crazy increase in the amount of girls wearing pink Nike Air tracksuits for about a month or two. I remember having a non-uniform day in school and about 80% of the school came in wearing a pink cotton tracksuit. Me and my friends started a game like "Yellow reg!" with it, smacking each other every time someone in a pink tracksuit walked past. :P

Then we went away on a trip and I was convinced one of my room-mates hadn't got dressed one day, because her pyjamas were pink and fleecy, and so was her tracksuit!

They're the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread! I must've had about five pairs when I was about 11...

Must've been different over in England. I had definitely started secondary school.
