The Original Thighmaster

Suzanne Somers happened to be the epitome of fit way back when. And her exercise apparatus, known as The Original Thighmaster, made women everywhere believe that they would have thinner, sexier thighs in a span of just weeks, with their corresponding partners thinking the same thing. They’re a reminder that fads really don’t work, and that like most things on TV shopping channels are a major waste of money.

Trolls

Before Trolls looked like Princess Poppy and Branch, they were actually incredibly strange looking dolls that people had to love because they were ugly-cute. People filled their homes and cars with these funny creatures, and would squeal in delight whenever they would get one they didn’t yet have. They are a perfect reminder that fads have existed for years, and everyone falls for them.
