I got 15 out of 15!
From Saddle Shoes, to Ant Farms, and to Frisbee, you absolutely dominated this 50s fads quiz! Whether you were rocking a Poodle Skirt, or if you were a little younger enjoying your Hula Hoop, you obviously would fit right in with the 50s! Though most people have probably heard of these fads in passing, it takes a real nostalgia for all-things-50s to be able to pass this test. Great job!
Several of these fads were before my time or ones my parents frowned on. However, I do remember hula hoops, saddle shoes (my sister loved them), coonskin caps (thanks to Fess Parker), and the greaser haircuts. I think Frisbees were quite a bit later. And poodle skirts and ant farms were unknown to me altogether.
