Sometimes it's best to wait a while to see if the fad can survive wider culture. Remember:

  • fidget spinners,
  • what does the fox say
  • ice bucket challenge
  • flossing,
  • harlem shake,
  • planking,
  • what colour is the dress?
  • pwned

Neither does anyone else.

I mean, the Ice Bucket challenge wasn't supposed to be a long term, it raised quite a lot of money

This is bananas.

Also why did they focus the story on the son-in-law that way, instead of talking about the murder victim? The murder victim whose mother owned that dress? If you're going to force that connection, the verbiage would be much easier to deal with talking about the victim, her mother, and her husband the alleged murderer.

I remember all of those except planking, unless you mean the exercise.

Yeah it's like that but dumber.

Heh, and of course there's a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_(fad)

Oh, huh, I've seen that done at my high school, just didn't remember the name. Guy was balancing off the edge of a couch in one of those "time is frozen" videos.
