    Flares, roller skates, yo-yos, the wee computer pets that died, the facebucket water thing, all have come and gone, some never forgotten, some best forgot/

    What's the latest craze though? Am I just old and missing out?

    The '80s were the golden years, yeah I'm getting old too.

    Internet crazes seem to come and go within days.

    Remember the dress? No? Good.

    Fortnite has been around a fair while to be fair and seems to continue to grow in popularity and evolve to keep its players engaged.

    Type in jokar tik tok India on YouTube, it's an absolutely bizarre trend over there.

    I think fidget spinners were the last thing that were 'massive'. But Tamogotchis were my first trend so what do I know? I'm in that 'too old to take part but I don't have kids yet' group.

    Dont forget food fads - pulled pork, donuts, and avocados.

    McDonalds drive thru seems to be the current food fad.

    I don't think donuts and avocados are a fad tbh.
    They can both be rather delicious occasionally

    Cronuts now they were a fad

      10 year old and a seven year old, boys, both look for pokemon, switch games and ‘plushies’... having plushies of everything is huge for the younger lad... he follows crap shows on YouTube where lads make up stories with various plushies. This seems to be a big thing now, heaven forbid you call them teddies.
      10 year old and most of his friends are into Harry Potter, think 15 in his school went as something from Harry Potter for Halloween, probably the only ‘toy’ related thing he’d look for aside from lego...
      Last Christmas The Robo Cameleon was the big toy... there is something new every year. All invariably crap, but I remember the year of the cabbage patch doll and praying for Santa to come through for me with one.
      For girls it’s them LOL dolls I think,

      I think he is just looking for that coin that fell out of his pocket.

      My Little Pony was a big thing too.

      Best thing I ever got for Christmas was a slinky. Remember them? Coily things.

      Got the 10 yr old one for Christmas, true to form, a coil got a kink in it about two weeks after... some things never change, they’re a great little fidget toy though
