No. 1: Slap Bracelets

It was a dark day in the early ’90s when schools started banning slap bracelets after one New York City elementary school student removed the bracelet’s fabric covering and suffered a nasty cut that required stitches. Her hand healed, but the result? No more slap bracelet fun.

Confession:

“I loved slap bracelets! I had tons of them stacked up from wrist to elbow — old school arm swag. I was so sad when schools banned them because they could be ‘dangerous.’ If they brought them back today I would wear them un-ironically.” — Cinya B.
