Are oxygen bars still a thing? Those into alternative healing claim that peoples' bodies are deprived of oxygen so they are a necessity. However, most peoples' bodies, in general, retain 97% of oxygen on average. Actual real doctors (not alternative healers) say there is no reason to get back that 3%. Bars that add aromas to oxygen could inflame parts of a person's respiratory system. There are no long-term studies for the supposed "benefits" of an oxygen bar.
Back in the 1970s there was a weird product you could buy in stores known as a "pet rock". Once the 80s hit these have been pretty much never heard from since.
Are people still getting grilles? This one never made any sense to me. They look absurd, like big braces, but the latter is for correcting oral problems (I had them myself in junior high). Million dollar question: do you still want big, dumb braces in your mouth when you're in your 50s when they have no redeeming values whatsoever (except for possibly tempting people to throw magnets at your face)?
For a while there young people were wearing their pants, shorts, etc. to the point where you could see their underwear. I didn't even think it looked good on hot females, it just looked tacky.
I say nay to all of the above except to pet rocks if I had a choice. Even if an attempted comeback was made of them I wouldn't buy one but it's the least offensive of the four (especially if you're into rock collecting).
EDIT: actually, upon looking up the pet rock on Wikipedia, they DID make a comeback after being shown in Everything Everywhere All at Once, being merchandised as a tie-in. Crazy.
