Or simply return as a way of life. Take the Happy Face for example. Adopted by corporate giants simply because it is easily recognizable. I don't have to insert one on this page for you to see it in your mind. Once a fad, plastered on millions of T-Shirts, Buttons and Bumper Stickers, the Happy Face is now an American icon.
Fads can also be a state of mind.
For instance, the Mood Ring . Although there was no basis to believe it could indicate anything except your skin temperature, the fad raged on, from the early to mid 70's. Many people wore some kind of mood jewelry and believe it or not, a few even wore Mood underwear. No matter what your age, whether you wore a crew cut or the Farrah Faucett look and from flagpole sitting to Razor scooters, fads are a part of our lives. So sit back in your bean bag chair or dust off your Hula Hoop because we're bringing those memories back.
