What fad from your childhood/teenage years used to be "in" but now has vanished?

About 70% of everything that has been listed so far definitely hasn't vanished and is very much still around or still a 'thing'. I guess what HAS vanished is people leaving the house and seeing the world

I'm pretty much sure people still travel by plane.

Ha Zoids, I re-watched pretty much all of Zoids (Chaotic Century/New Century) last year/Year before when i was having a nostalgic moment... been trying to find the Fuzors series but can only find the fist 2 episodes.

I had the toys and a few of the comics that they paired with Spider-man but never saw any programmes, is it worth a watch?
