How many Levi tents did the hoola-hoop cause in the 50's?

The pet rock gave stoners something to care for, nurture and love. Major boost to the 70's.

The Rubix cube turned millions of kids into math gurus. Great stuff for science.

Pokemon turned an entire generation into anti-social freaks. Whoops.
