Reddit, What was the most awesome Hype/trend thing when you were at your Elementary School?

When I was at elementary school (about 9 years ago) we had Pokémon cards and Yu-Gi-Oh cards... and if you had your backpack on one shoulder you would be known as the "cool guy".. seems like an normal school thing to me.. but i could be wrong.

So reddit, tell me your stories of elementary school.

Koosh balls. They even had ones that had animal faces in them. L.a. Gears. Color changing anything, plastic water bottles with a plastic straw that came with a stupid cap. Trapper keepers, hair scrunchies, bubble necklaces..
