    I’m glad that Furbys, inflatable furniture, and disposable cameras are no longer mainstream. And may they never return.

          Disposable cameras and Polaroids have been getting popular at weddings in place of guest books or as something for the guests to do during the reception. The couple then gets something physical they can keep.

            Interesting. I still wonder why, because this was a trend in the '90s that died out with camera phones and social media. Maybe it’s a retro throwback trend that got popular with younger folks? Still, I thought they stopped manufacturing Polaroid paper, and can you still get film developed at like the grocery store or a pharmacy?

              It’s definitely a hipster thing yeah, they aren’t selling them cheap either since it’s a novelty item now. You can still get film developed but same thing, it’s a niche thing now so fewer places to do it and more expensive.
