\u00a0 \u00a0 I wasn’t a 90’s kid, but I’ll admit to wanting a Fushigi Ball. \u00a0It’s awesome that CVS still sells the Big Mouth Billy Bass, which has to be the most annoying toy ever. \u00a0I should say TRIES to sell them, because usually they end up getting marked down after Christmas. \u00a0They do still sell a ridiculous amount of Chia Pets, whoever invented that one is still raking it in.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 #4 mentions Moon Shoes, which was probably the most famous bad buy of my career. \u00a0 \u00a0After the Razor Scooter fad, we were all looking for the next big thing and a guy sold me on the Moon Shoes. \u00a0 He offered to come to our sidewalk sale and demo them so I bought about 50 pairs of the things (about $50 each.) \u00a0If memory serves, we sold 1 pair the entire day, despite him bouncing around for 5 hours or so. \u00a0I guess most parents correctly realized they were an ankle injury waiting to happen. \u00a0 \u00a0Not one of my better ideas, but as a former manager used to say, “If you’re not buying some dogs, you’re not buying enough. \u00a0 Besides, check out the great commercial!<\/p>\n
