10 Throwback Items You Didn’t Know You Needed Right Now

By Judy Lee ‘17

Sometimes I sit there, miserably, and wonder what could possibly make me feel better. A slice of cake/pizza? Usually. But sometimes, there are voids that can’t be filled by anything other than your childhood. Here are some things that sounds really nice to have right now…

1. Bubblejug 

I was absolutely appalled when I found out they don’t make this anymore. A huge contender for the crown against Hubba Bubba tape gum, I loved this transformative powder/gum concoction! Would be fantastic to chew on the way to class.

2. Bop It

Professor late, again?! Home unexpectedly early and don’t really know what to do with yourself? How much more fun could you have than when you’re being ordered to do various tasks in rapid succession by a small, handheld robot? I don’t know what else a college student could ask for.

3. Heelys 

Well, some college students at USC have obviously not been shy about taking advantage of Heelys. What can I say? They used to be the way we slid into someone’s DMs in fifth grade. We Trojans sure know how to live.

4. Skorts

Were they skirts? Shorts? Either way, no one had to deal with the nonsense of having your skirt blown up. The short was revolutionary: keeps your undies in check, AND you can still look adorable with your stylish front flap. Who knew?

5. Easy Bake Oven

Granted, this should not have to be explained. But let’s put it this way: finals. 2am. You’re hungry. You need a small baked good (or 15). BOOM. Easy bake.

6. Furbies

Oh, um. Maybe we don’t need this one back.
