I remember a lot more of those stick-on glow in the dark plastic stars, if nothing else.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 9 points 4 months ago

Everywhere. Living room, bathrooms, heck even McDonald's booths. Those little barely glowing stars were all over.

How did those fall out of style

Parents stopped buying them, so kids had to find other ways to mess with the world.

Oh man, you reminded me of LED magnetic throwies, just little homemade LEDs with a watch battery and a magnet. Throw em wherever they'll stick, they're like $.50 to make. Seems like the 00s version, if a little less ubiquitous

Hey, my kids both have them. I put them up as the night sky when they were born, so all the constellations are more or less in the right place.
