10 Trends That Disappeared Without Anyone Noticing

 

Annoying trends will fade away into obscurity . . . eventually. There's a thread online where people are talking about cultural things that "quietly went away without anyone noticing." They include:

  

1. Waterbeds

 

2. Facebook "poke wars"

 

3. "When you turned off the TV, how the image would shrink to a dot before slowly fading away"

 

4. Flash mobs

 

5. Traveler's checks

 

6. HQ Trivia

 

7. "ROFL" . . . now we just go straight from LOL to LMAO.  (Maybe because we're in a post-COVID world, and the floor might be dirty.)  (???)

 

8. Planking

 

9. Ringtones

 

10. Those black plastic bases on two-liter soda bottles.
