I know whoever is reading this is probably laughing their ass off, but you know you had one too! Hell, you probably cut the damn plastic and slid in your best friends' pictures in there or those hot shirtless pics of Zack Morris and AC Slater from your Pop Star Magazines.
How my mother never figured out I was gay when I asked for the rainbow one is beyond me. 
According to Wikipedia, the creator is unknown, believe me when I say this - I'm still trying to figure that one out too! But it was interesting to find out they were made of PVC plastic - the same plastic your plumbing is probably made of, except condensed. In either case, the shoes have come back in style, twice - once in the mid-1990's, and in 2003. Now you can have jellies in heels, jellies in sandals, jellies, jellies, jellies! And if you really want to join a fan club, you can "like" it's Facebook page here, i used to wear jelly shoes. No really, you can. Okay, I need to see a doctor after this post. Geezus!
Launched in 1983, these horrendous toys consisted of many different sets, starting with the Rainbow Ponies (which all sported rainbow-colored manes and tails). Other variations included the So-Soft Ponies (which were entirely covered in flocking), Twinkle-Eyed Ponies (with small rhinestones in place of the eyes), Twice As Fancy Ponies (with patterns covering most of the body), Brush n' Grow Ponies (which had a longer-than-usual tail stored inside the body that could be drawn out through brushing) and Baby Ponies, which were smaller versions of their mothers.
And if you couldn't remember their names, because you threw away their birth certificate and special little brush, all you had to do was look at their ass, because it was branded with a distinctive design reflecting their name.
Ahhh... talk about Keeping It Old Skool. Tight-rolled pants were a huge rage back in the 1980's and early 1990's. I'll be honest - I thought it was cool, and tried to incorporate this awesome fad with my school attire. Granted, the hot jocks looked so much better than I did. You know - the football, baseball, and soccer players? I thought they looked hot sporting those tight rolled up pants - I'll spare you the details of my fantasies. "girls and boys would tight-roll the bottoms of their jeans or any pants that they wore. On full length pants tight rolling is performed by taking up the slack around the ankles at the hem of the pants, folding the extra material over and then rolling upwards 2 or 3 times over. A proper tight-roll should have the extra material folded inward across the lower shin. The use of safety pins was key to a good roll, but to the experienced tight roller they can be achieved without them. "
And yes, everyone did it - even the celebrities on television, like Zac Morris from Saved by the Bell. I think every gay boy in America had a huge crush on him growing up.
This is so-something I would've done back in the 1980's. I hated these damn things growing up; I even removed all the stickers once and "completed it." My sister and parents thought I was a genius. :-) Little did they know I had trouble making them stick.
