Fb tease: Remember how these things were so cool?

#HisoPrathom has become the most popular hashtag on the Thai realm of Twitter this week as Thai users shared what little things that made them feel slightly privileged from their classmates in the old days.

And the results do bring some memories back.
 

The fancy pencil box

“Three tiers of steel pencil box packed with stationary. I opened it up and fancily picked out the pencils. So chic!”

“This super pencil box with different slots for sotrage and a built-in sharpener!”
 

Tamagotchi as pet

“I took these to school!”

These useless glass beads

“The glass bead shooting game! In my neighborhood, beautiful, rare glass beads made you hi-so.”

These brand-name color pencils

“Don’t forget to re-arrange every color the way it originally came.”

 

These huge data storages

“Floppy disk 125MB”

 

 

The knucklebone game (Mark Geb)

“How to make friends in 3rd grade? Just have these silly chains and friends will crawl in.”

Paper dolls

 

Expensive Rotting pencils

“The pencils everyone most have to maximize your hiso-ness. The trend continued all the way to high school.”

This retro portable game

 

The sky-high jump factor

“A half of the class came to play with me when I had this.”

 

 

Cartoon tattoos that came in a snack bag

“Who hasn’t tried these is very lame.”

 

Delicious-looking erasers

“I told my mom to buy me food-shaped erasers but I didn’t use them. They were too beautiful!”

 

The old-school monopoly

“When I was a kid, I was so rich. I had money to buy houses, hotels, islands. But just when the wind blew, all of my [neatly-stacked] money was gone.”

These cartoon heads

“Let’s say if anyone had the entire set, they parents must have been a millionare. This was all the rage. Didn’t even need those candies.”
 

 
Pelotty

“I remember I liked this so much when I was young. Now you can’t find them anywhere. They stopped making Pelotty since the factory was flooded.”

 

The toothpaste ice-cream

“The toothpaste snack! First, you eat the all cones. Then squeeze the toothpaste tube and eat all the fillings later. So declicious and hi-so.”

Lastly, this fortune-telling origami

“Oh, I actually feel like I was insulted by this thing.”
