19 Wildly Popular Things Everyone Just Forgot About
However, some things have been insanely popular for a hot minute and then practically disappeared. Here is our roundup of wildly popular things everyone just forgot about!

The whole Joe Exotic thing didn't last very long, although there are periodic updates. Among other things, the property was sold (and cannot be used as a zoo for at least 100 years) and one of the zookeepers, who did appear on the show, died from an overdose.
4.
Bacon fetish. For like a decade in the early 2000s people wouldn’t shut up about how bacon was the best thing ever. T-shirts, bumper stickers, memes, aprons, etc. That sh*t was everywhere. And these days bacon is just a normal food again.

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.
7.
That mustache thing? Like in the early 2010s, every girl had mustaches on everything. Mustache bags, pencil cases, clothes, etc
10.
Sneakers that you pump up. I had models with both internal and external pumping mechanisms.
11.
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.
13.
Susan Powter and her "Stop the Insanity" videos. She was everywhere on cable TV in the 90s.
24.
Probably Game of Thrones. I don’t even see many memes about the ending being bad anymore. No one talks about it
