It's ten years since 2013, lets' see how some of the trends have held up.

Honey Boo-Boo

Who remembers this train wreck? 49% aren't fans anymore, or never were . . . 42% don't care . . . and 9% still love her. That show ran for four seasons from 2012 to 2014. Oh, she'll be turning 18 this summer.

Goats Screaming Like Humans

I don't really recall this one that much, but here it is. According to a survey, 41% said they still love those videos. Count me among the 59%.

Walter White's Black hat

Man, what a great series! It ended in 2013, but it's worth it for anyone who didn't see it. Only 10% of us wish the black hat he wore would come back in fashion. I kinda liked it....it fit him.

Twerking

Ugh....what a dumb "dance" move. 55% think it's LAME now, and another 26% don't have an opinion.  Only 19% think it's still cool in 2023.

What Does The Fox Say

Dumb, dumb and dumb. It was the top-trending YouTube video that year . . . 22% say they still love it. 22% are wrong.

Adult Onesies

I must've missed this one. 33% still love them . . . 46% think they're dumb . . . and 21% don't care.

The "Cronut"

It debuted at a bakery in New York ten years ago.  39% say they still love cronuts.  Only 11% hate them. I can safely say I've never had one yet....
