Rofl, the pet rock was a major fad!

"Whose a good rock?. Sit!, good boy!... your so good, yes you are!"

Bell bottom jeans were extremely popular.

Wearing the peace banadana, men with full length hair, the peace symbol, lava lamp, a "shag" van carpeting, disco music, star wars actions figures were great, muscle cars/ trans ams, hula girl doll (put on dashboard and her hula skirt was like a bobble head), cork pop guns were cool, PONG!, platform shoes, mopeds, streaking was in, 8 track tape players were awsome, and finally the earth shoes. lol.

Those were the days!

Pet Rocks, which were the dumbest thing ever, they even came in a box with air holes so they could "breathe"...  troll dolls...  mood rings...

I was a late 70's kid so most of my memories are from the 80's...  but I do remember what my friends and siblings had...

I wanted a pet rock.  My father told me to go find one in the park and paint a face on it!!  lol
