Things The 80’s Child Shouldn’t Have Thrown Out

I saw the picture of those Slap Bracelets and knew exactly what Mary from FashionVictims blog meant by the word “Shouldn’t”:

Slap Bracelets are awesome and I wish I still had mine!

They were popular among pre-teens and teens in the late 80’s but were eventually banned from schools after many students suffered wrist injuries. Now that enough time has elapsed and people have forgotten the potential dangers of arm jewelry that once splayed open a kid’s artery, slap bracelets are back!

This is a neat article about stuff we might have owned as a child but forgot about, and your parents were more than happy to make the world forget.

…WALKMANS!!! My happy thought, I remember I had one! Darn it…
