I'm baffled that more people don't remember Hypercolor! Anyone care to propose a probable explanation?
Oct 17, 2012  delete  reply
I remember Hypercolor, but I couldn't remember that's what they were called.

It would be really cool to have a shirt that changes color. It could be hard to match though. :)

*reading on Wikipedia about Beanie Babies and Tickle Me Elmo* Why did these things become such fads? That's so sad.
Oct 17, 2012  delete  reply
Because they're toys? Kids like toys if I remember how kids work.

It's actually called "Hampster Dance." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampster_Dance Therefore, I think "Hampster Dance" should be allowed.
