'90s NostalgiaWhat were you doing in the '90s? Whether you were rocking flannel, Docs, and brown lipstick or just happily gumming down strained peas, these lists are for you.
Vote up all the '90s toys that got confiscated at your school.
School was a place to learn, a place to socialize, and a place to hop on the latest gadget and toy trends and desperately hide those things in our desks when we continued to bring them to school even after they were banned. It was truly a game of chicken: the principal and teachers laying down their edict that the latest craze would no longer be tolerated, and the students pushing to see how far the authority would bend.
Many of our most beloved toys ended up as causalities of this war, locked forever in the teacher's filing cabinet - or at least until the end of the semester.
The wave of a cool trend usually followed the same current. A few trendsetting kids show up with something cool, it soon becomes a hot craze in classrooms and on the playground, and it is swiftly banned and confiscated on sight. The pattern may have been the same, but each toy, gadget, and craze was its own special memory.
Only rich kids brought Game Boys to school. Everyone knew they would get confiscated, but rich kids probably had a Game Gear or something at home they could play until they got their Game Boy back.
