I think "influencers" and 5 minute crafts are now using it to remove blackheads!As there has been mention of glue.. do kids still paint their whole hands with PVA glue to peel it off these days?
It was so oddly satisfying after an art lesson
Solvent abuse and The Lowdown- get ready for a double nostalgia hit 
The Lowdown was great for not shying away from delivering hard hitting topics to kids in a non patronising way.

I have no idea! When I think of all the random things from the 80's and 90's though, it could totally be a thing. After all who knew Scatch would catch on or that thing you threw that was a tennis ball with a tail (in like a lurid highlighter coloured sock) - you had to swing it round your head before you threw it
I was given one of those ferret things maybe around 1986? My mum probably got it at East Street market in London. 
The general public having brains and able to do something without the media telling them what is.
I donโt know
I feel like they used to sell them at the seaside or something and have them in a little pen, I saw it on the Simpsons yesterday and it just reminded me of themdoes anyone remember The Gadget Shop? they used to sell things like this (as well as inflatable furniture) iin late 90s esrly 2000sThose little ferret things attached to a ball that moved around on their own.. what were they even about
That has just reminded of those fluffy worm things on a string that you would wrap around your arms and stuff. They were always sold in gift shops like the Sealife centre and stuff.Those little ferret things attached to a ball that moved around on their own.. what were they even about
I loved these. Burtons wonโt bring them back as they got rid of the special machine used to make them apparently.Potato Puffs.... open the bag tip straight into your mouth

I have a huge pile of Smash Hits as a kid. Wish I still had them.I've been inspired by this thread and found and received this from eBay today and am ridiculously happy
Is it just me or does nobody buy tacky souvenirs anymore? I remember going on holiday as a kid and having to buy castanets or dolls in national dress for my mates or the next door neighbour bringing us back a hideous piece of tack, usually a key holder with a thermometer shaped as a Spanish guitar, to say thanks for looking after her cat. Iโm guessing itโs since the advent of budget airlines and travel becoming more accessible and not a novelty any more (well obviously pre Corona).
