Here is an interesting article from Yahoo. I will admit that I bought a Magic 8 Ball when I was a kid and I loved Legos. Most recently, I bought my 10 year old niece those Zhu Zhu Hamsters. Anything you use to be that made the list below?

20 Toy Fads We Can't Believe We Bought Into

Umm...how can a Magic 8 ball and Legos be considered 'fads' when they've been around/bought for decades now? Furthermore, how the hell do POGS not make the list?

Whoever wrote that list up should be fired, lol

LOL - I remember pogs.

Most of those I had or bought for someone...(except for ouiji board and tech deck)...anyway, most can't be considered fads because they stood the test of time...if they are still selling well after 5-10 years, they are NOT a fad....

Legos
Barbie
Pick-up sticks

to name a few

I loved pogs. I still play with those with my nephew when we are at my mom's house.
