I was talking to a few friends recently
about certain things you don't see anymore and when you do you go
“Wow, that used to be way common when I was a kid!” In this Kids
These Days I wanted to talk about medical stuff that just disappeared
for some reason. Not things like polio, leprosy, and measles. But
just things that used to be common, some of you may have had them,
but you don't see any more.
Neck Braces. Can someone explain to me
what happened to this? When I was a kid I saw quite a few people
wearing them and even got to wear one. No, I didn't need to wear it
but it was fun. Someone had gotten a whiplash and had to wear it so I
put it on for fun. But when I was a kid I saw these all the time on
TV and in real life. Sometime in the early 90's I'd say they just
vanished. Is there some strange ass landfill just full of these?
Maybe people just have stronger necks than they used to. I'd love to
walk into a place wearing one of these just to see the look on
people's faces today. I'd probably get some high-fives. Kids would
think I had some new version of those dealie bobs people wear on
airplanes. And they'd believe it. Kids are stupid.
