A couple weeks ago I saw a guy wearing a fanny pack. As soon as I saw it, I had a couple questions. What percent of people who wear these have no real good reason to do so? If your current one wears out, or gets lost, what the hell do you do to get a new one? Does anyone still make them? If they still make them, are they in contemporary styles, or the standard 1991 theme?
This world is confusing…
Katie Says:
Wow! A fanny pack…. Now my question, was it actually worn on the fanny? Because I always saw them worn at the front… Or possibly I am remembering it wrong. I was, what…8 when those went out of fashion?
Nobrainer Says:
This one was in the front. The guy was really goofy looking, but also in a (bio)medical setting. He may have needed it for something, I don’t know. Still funny.
Wha Says:
please refer to the VH1 I love the Nineties - 1990-91 episodes. Everything you need to know can be found here.
Lawtonius Funk Says:
I don’t remember fanny packs ever being in style. It thought they were ridiculous the
Minute they came out. I guess they’re called a fanny pack becuase you look like you have a
front butt.
Evan Says:
Anyone want to spearhead an effort to bring back the fanny pack? They may look ridiculous, but think of the functional improvements–no more sitting on wallets and keys, it could double as a handwarmer, could hold beer in it, women could toss the equally ridiculous purses. I think it just needs a new name. How about we call this the “marsupial movement” and tie it in with the i-pod somehow.
Wha Says:
I like Evan maybe on to something. We could make it slightly larger than the original but not fat. Tehre could be a power source with a universal tap in for I-Pod, walkman, etc. The insulated section would be multifufunctionalcooler for beer in the summer, handwarmer full of those little shake up hand heat things in the winter. Who needs to keep beer cold then anyway. Any true man would have a flask in his coat pocket for the cold days anyway. . It owuld never do away with the purse though, because women are jsut to vain and purses are status symbolds(see the price of Burberry, Coach, etc, its is damn frightenting. We could call it a “SUP”, Sport Utility Pouch. Taht way when really cool people walk by and are too cool to say “Hey, how are you” or “what’s up?” and say “S’up?” you can just nod, say thanks for noticing and keep walking. It would also knock out some of those hippie kids you always see on planes killing people with their packs. They would just have to havea couple and wear them GI Joe style all teh way around. I never did understand why those kids are planes and not taking greyhoud.
I got a fanny pack for being a first responder in training, you are supposed to wear it at all times in case of emeergency but of course no one does. I am sure the dollar store sells those things.
