    Who remembers this bad boy? Every sap was saying it.... you probably were too. Pogs, planking and other preposterous fads took over, didn’t they? What other trends of the last couple of decades have disappeared into the abyss of obscurity?

    Oh let's see.

    Livestrong bands from renowned cheat Lance Armstrong.

    Fidget Spinners everywhere for some reason.

    The bloody Harlem Shake (which are still being uploaded to this day, I sh*t you not).

    Snapbacks and also, preppy dressing style like hollister and later, between about 2011 and 2014 in Ireland, jack wills.

    Nobody wears cantos and polo necks anymore, never got into it, I went down the wanna be Skobie root instead.

    Kony2012

    I remember a girl I know going on a real rampage about this using facebook when it was all the rage, she went as far as to post the Carl Wethers photo and citing it as a "more recent image of Kony"

    She'd be the type to take up any causes you can think of or change her profile photo to the latest 'thoughts and prayers' fad, making sure she uses her best photo, of course.

    The Act of Filming GAA Players go from a hot shower into a cold room to enhance their action on the field.

    Once this pseudoscience was disproven, well, no more videos of your favourite GAA Allstar going through the motions!

    Did you recently rewatch The US Office in which both of these are lampooned?

    Does anyone remember Friendship Burns?

    Youd hold one of your fingers out and your friend would hold it and rub it with their thumb until it was red raw. Then you'd get a sore and the scar it left was a mark of the friendship :/ 🙂
