Answer 2

Pop Rocks were a popular candy in the eighties.

Answer 3

You could "Take the Pepsi Challenge" by having people drink both Pepsi and Coke. Also, play music like Madonna, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Duran Duran. Parachute pants, Member's Only Jackets, Jelly Shoes, Jelly Bracelets, Neon colors, ect. Maybe have people come as someone from the 80's (besides what's mentioned above) - the brat pack (i.e. from characters from movies such as 16 candles, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Breakfast Club, ect).

Play an 80's trivia game or do 80's karaoke.  Have fun!!!

Answer 4

leg warmers, headbands (think olivia newton john and the "Physical" video), re-runs of miami vice (guys can dress like crocket & tubbs, don't forget the 5:00 shadow...), big hari, big earrings, pastel colors, the end of LPs and start of CDs, valley girl talk (like, oh, mi gawd! gag me with a spoon), prince music (pruple rain album), thin leather ties or piano ties, flashdance sweatshirts (off the shoulder), pack man pictures/games...oh, the ideas are endless.... (can you tell i was in HS then? LOL!)
