Let's Talk Hypercolor

Hypercolor, all the rage in every ill-fitting fashion faux-pas imaginable and crayon this girl in line to buy a sack that invited others to molest you.




See? She's totally excited!  Not to mention if you happened to sweat... nothing like a snitching t-shirt to invite other kids to notice your pits and god forbid - groin.



Seriously, what the what sort of advertising was this, and why did I own one when my family didn't have scratch for frivolous trends!  Short answer - kids are relentless, and I could spit a ten minute non-stop sentence that ultimately ended in me being found dead in a ditch because I didn't own one of those shirts.  Hyperbole has always been my kindred, I owned one...but I shared it with my sister.  Right.  THAT's the kind of garment you want to share.



Totally True!                                                                                 
On May 22, 1980, the Pac-Man video game was released in Japan and by October of the same year it was released in the United States. The yellow, pie-shaped Pac-Man character, who travels around a maze trying to eat dots and avoid four mean ghosts, quickly became an icon of the 1980s. To this day, Pac-Man remains one of the most popular video games in history.
