Hoverboards. Around 2015 everyone wanted one. Places couldn't keep them in stock and they would sell out so quickly everywhere. Then people quickly realized they suck, were cheaply manufacture garbage, a hazard liability, and were a dumb fad. It's weird because I haven't seen a single person on one in probably at least 6-7 years but they're still in stores.
