When I was in grade school these were popular:
- black spandex shorts with a neon stripe on the side
- New Kids on the Block (version 1.0)
- Slap Stick bracelets (metal stick that folds around your wrist?)
- Kriss Kross overalls
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- MC Hammer
- The Toronto Blue Jays ('92, '93 World Series Champs)
What was cool/popular when you were in elementary school?

We are from the same era!
Doubled up socks, scrunched. Side ponies. Shell clips that you pull the side of your shirt through. Esprit bags. Paula Abdul.

I was so uncool in elementary school, I didn't even know what cool WAS.
But I definitely knew that all the cool girls had Lisa Frank binders. And I didn't. Sigh!

@Mrs. Bee: She was a designer. You'd probably recognize her stuff! Bold, colorful graphics. She made pencils, trapper keepers, notebooks, pencil keepers, etc. It was all I ever used!

I don't remember what was cool in Elementary school. I don't think there was anything I cared about that much that early in life.
@Rubies: those things you mentioned were all cool when I was in Middle School. Haha.
