FADS: Fads are products that tend to not be incredibly
useful but are very popular only for a short period of time, meaning sales
generally rapidly increase and rapidly fall. Although sales drop drastically,
that doesn’t mean the product is entirely removed from the market.
Some fads that come to my mind include Furbies and more
recently, Silly Bands. Through some research and thought I have found several
products to share that will hopefully bring back some memories for any readers.
Although the lifetime of these products varied, it is easy to spot the similarity- each products lifetime was ended abruptly by a sudden fall in sales. Like I said before, fad products don't usually have very important uses and generally don't fulfill the serious needs of consumers. Nevertheless, they oftentimes bring joy to consumers for a short period of time.
