25 Hugely Popular Trends That Vanished Overnight

Trends come and go. Over at r/AskReddit, we were reminded of some things that used to be popular, but now are part of history.

1.

Those commercials that try and sell you ringtones for your phone -u/dontcareitsonlyreddi

2.

Sneakers that you pump up. I had models with both internal and external pumping mechanisms. -u/jmacd2918

3.

3D TVs. I am not sure if I would call them hugely popular but at CES one year they were super popular and by the following year there was barely one in sight. -u/shellwe

4.

Those sour altoids. Damn those were good. -u/streachh

I know a guy who saw the fidget spinner thing coming. He mass produced a bunch of them, sold through the entire stock, then sold his company immediately after and bowed out right before the whole thing cratered. I sort of feel sorry for whoever he left holding the bag. But man, those things just didn't stick around long. -u/OhYeahThrowItAway
