Crazy Fads

What crazy fads do you remember in grade school?
The girls wore socks instead of hose, and some of the girls whose parents forced them to wear hose would roll them down to their ankles at school, then roll them back up before heading home.
Some of the girls in my fourth grade class would bring dill pickles to school and sneak them out of their desk when Miss Sussman wasn't looking. They'd take a big bite, then hide them again.
Our classroom had a "dilly" odor. Dills were the in thing in desks and in hungry mouths.
