fads and fashion

Fads and fashion Match the fad with its description Crocs Colorful plastic clogs with holes in them, popular for their comfort and because they are easy to wear (slip-on, like a sandal). Flash mobs A bunch of people meeting on the internet that agree to meet at a certain place at a certain time to do something meaningless or unusual and then just leave. Heelys Sneakers with wheels housed in the heel of the shoe. This allows children to release the wheel out and skate instead of walk...anytime they please! Neopets A virtual pets website that eventually expanded offline with plush toys, stickers, books, cereals, video games and more. Ipods A smaller, much better version of the Sony Walkman type portable music player. Like an iPhone, but without internet access or phone calls. Once Apple introduced the iPhone, iPods sales dropped significantly. Pocket bikes These motorcycles are just like the real thing, only they are a lot smaller and drive a lot slower. These pocket bikes may be illegal to drive almost everywhere but that doesn't stop people from buying them. Lava lamps It was sometimes referred to as an astro lamp, was invented by Edward Craven-Walker. It was a glass vessel filled with liquid and "blobs" or colored wax. There was a lightbulb located underneath the glass vessel that would both light up the vessel and heat the liquid and wax inside. When the wax would heat up, it would rise and fall in all different shapes and forms.
