Here's a thread for things that once were that aren't anymore...

Whatever happened to 'Spangles'.. the sweets?

Whatever happened to.. those clicky multi-coloursed things that went on bike spokes?

Whatever happened to Rick Astley?

Whatever happened to good clean fun...

Hehe, cool thread!

First thing that comes to mind, for no particular reason is Adam Rickett

Leg warmers: ok, so your legs were warm, but us fellas wanna see your legs! :P

Spangles made a huge loss when reintroduced several years ago. Doubt they'll ever returm.

Spokey Dokeys were discovered to be very crap.

Rick Astley emigrated to Venus where he lives with a purple polar bear named Jacob.

Its still around, but good dirty fun is better. :P

Who cares? lol

Who?

You can still find them in small newsagents in really remote areas of the country. I think it makes you appreciate them more when you find them :)

I stilll play pokemon stadium, colloseum and the gameboy games... and I'm 25. Great games tho! Shame the cartoon sucked after the first series.

I have no idea what you just said! haha

Somewhere, Miss Tigs.... somewhere... The Jaw breakers is out there.

You got me there... probably dead, what with them being prehistoric.

I wanna see what you're looking at! :P

Whatever happened to those slap bracelets that were a stick until you slapped them on your wrist and they folded around it?

We still have them! I mean.. they're still available.. My niece has one.

i used to hurt myself with those... my sister had bunches of them

There are one or two around. But.. literally one or two. And I'm one.. Maybe gracie is two?

Hop Scotch! Oohh! Pogs.. have heard of them but don't know what they are.. look like little bits of plastic that don't do anything to me..
Foursquare! I assume it's the same as what we called 'corners?' A box of four squares, and you stand on the corners, with one in the middle, and have to run, knocking other people round to other corners.
Cats cradle ooh I remember that! I have a pink & white string xD

Most of those things you mentioned may well still be going strong in primary school playgrounds.. how would we know? o_O

Pshhh giving mobiles to kids that young is stupid. I got my first one when I was 12. I also know an 8 year old with one but her parents had it so she could only play games and use the camera on it, not call or send messages. Which just proves she doesn't need one.

lol, how'd you guess? :P

i get pissed off when girls wear slutty clothes. :D
and i tell them that straight to their face. i've said "pull up your freaking pants, because no one wants to look at your crack," a few times as well. ooh yes, i'm rude, especially when i don't like you. :D
