In 3rd grade, being a true chad meant that you had that comically large pink eraser that said "for really BIG mistakes"

[@antleredpawn]

Yes!!! I remember kids always got those from the book fair and would pretend to erase someone they didnt like because they were the really big mistake. Classic

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

Definitely I remember those

[@chazikstan]

I had one that lasted from the 7th grade til 12th

[@spaghettisalads9504]

those hurt so bad when you’re slapped by them

[@user-ki1xj5fl1i]

I still have that eraser and I haven’t put a dent in it yet.

I feel like KZbinrs just have this random ability to summon any forgotten icon of anyone's childhood.

Remember the paper scholastic book magazines??

Yes its called nostalgia bait. KZbinrs gotta get paid.

[@TCGexclusive]

The Foohy scented erasers were more iconic for me. I can still imagine the blueberry one’s smell when I think of it

[@momothebug]

The mix of rubber and a hint of a scent around that was iconic.

Omg so I WASNT the only one?!

[@Lillian_Farrell]

Anyone remember when those Japanese puzzle erasers got really popular in like 2010-2013ish ??

[@thetechconspiracy2]

They would assemble into a cube, right? I remember them being pretty popular when I was in 4th-5th grade, around 2009-2010.

[@RoyBattyRabbit]

At my school the rage was for those Japanese erasers that looked like animals, the hamster one was wildly popular in my class.

[@abbygiroux9097]

gomu erasers

[@skepbeans]

No idea what you’re talking about but there’s some fast food erasers also from japan

[@kagehina2115]

I remember I would always get one n forget how to put them back together n end up losing the pieces. I always collected erasers n those were my favorite^^ I got one a bit ago n was happy Bc I finally got it back together after several years ;-;

[@rejectclone4504]

I remember always trading the Foohy monkey heads with classmates after every time the Scholastic bookfair stopped by!

[@bobafett2565]

You know what else is really nostalgic? Those Teck Deck skateboards

[@jebreski]

Lol yep, even the girls had a Teck Deck in their desk. I don’t have the eraser from this video anymore but I still have my beaten up decks

[@pyraffin]

The kid playing with the legos and those erasers instead of doing homework is so wholesome. I wish I still had a mind as free as that

[@annaisntcool]

in 2018 i went to a random local art gallery and saw a yellow fooey monkey eraser. i have never been so unexpectedly overwhelmed by nostalgia

[@MagicRatty]

God i had these in 1st-5th grade, in middle school they died out because everyone was acting older than we should’ve. I miss these simpler times. :(

[@draculena]

man, i thought no one remembered these. for valentine’s day in 2009, my mom let me buy a jumbo foohy monkey eraser for everyone in my class.

[@stonesaiyan]

Never got to have the eraser heads, but i did have the lava lamp sharpener i think in 5th grade. A classmate actually had his taken away from our teacher and ended up giving them to her kid that went to the same school. I remember the commercials too. "Unleash Your Foohy!" 😆

I remember having the lava lamp pencil sharper. I remember my mom always getting me cool supplies to get me excited for a new school year

[@gruntingskunk2237]

I remember these red, squishy pencil grips in the shape of tiki heads. There were different faces, which were imprinted in much like the pencil heads’ faces are. Their hair stood straight up, and and each strand was tubular and made out of the same material, the hair was almost like a sea anemone.

[@draculena]

omg yes! i loved stretching the hair on those so much :D

[@maffieduran]

Kookeys?

[@bai-zewarrior]

Being erasers did not stop my teachers from taking these. I got in trouble over erasers so much in class. These ones, ones that looked just like actual animals with moving limbs and of course, regular erasers. 90% of the normal non fun erasers I owned I would draw on and make into a toy, my teachers hated me for that. These were a curse for them.

[@rainbowdful]

I had the lava lamp sharpener and I stills remember how the erasers smelled so nostalgic

[@Trueblade1423]

I loved the Foohy pencil top erasers! The hair on top made a great starting point to erase mistakes ^^

[@razminfox1787]

All the cool kids had them is what I remembered most of elementary school

[@davenbambibrother]

My “School Fad” Was Gel Crayons, Clear Glue Sticks, Silly Scents And Twistables.

[@maffieduran]

Anyone remebers the kookey pens? Those oval-ish shaped pens with different colours and faced with silicone tassels on top? They even had a Disney license. I had two, a purple one and a Sulley from monsters inc one.

[@ExpertAssass1n]

I used to love these. They also used to have those hockey stick eraser toppers. Me and my friends would have full blown knee-hockey games during recess lol

[@pastelricky]

I remember getting a pack of Foohy Eraser heads for my birthday right before my 5th grade year. I adored them! I use to pick which eraser I would use off of which bobby jack t-shirt I was wearing that day.

[@bitchmittens99]

I just turned 22 and I remember having all foohy supplies in like 3-4th grade. Seeing the erasers unlocked so many memories lol I feel old now

[@CosmicSteph]

These erasers were my favorite as a kid. I used to have the board game Candyland but I’d lost all the characters you can play as so I used the erasers instead lol.

[@plattyppus]

I really like these kind of videos about forgotten brands or items. :)

[@bellarobles997]

oh my god, ms sills was my 2nd and 3rd grade teacher! i 100% remember her saying “that’s foohy worthy!” and giving out those little guys! i would feed them eraser shavings and play with them all the time with my friends who also had them! i think we had a wedding for two of them? i don’t know, but these were super fun growing up!

[@RabidLeroy]

I remember the ballpoint pens in different colours! It’s what kept my high school handwriting (and my off-duty fanfic scrawbles at the time when paper notebooks were king) engaging and fresh. Those were the days. Thanks Foohy!

[@adriannaranjo4397]

Unearthed a memory long forgotten. I used to be obsessed with these

[@megaupsilon]

Oh man I loved Foohy erasers!! When I was in elementary school I’d loved to play with them in my desk and I had a whole story surrounding those pencil top erasers. They ran a talk-show like tv show. The light blue one was the main one / leader. I’d also constantly stack those erasers on top of each other since they could easily connect to each other I think I still have a few of mine laying around somewhere in an old pencil case

[@cremebrulee344]

This brought me all the way back! I distinctly remember some of the girls in my class giving the foohy erasers “baths” in the bathroom sinks. Good times.

[@gonk1718]

I think I only had one of those erasers my entire time in elementary school, only because I got the best score for an important test. My parents never really bought the fun school supplies. "Why should i get you this monkey eraser when I can buy 2 packs of the cheap pencil top erasers that last longer"

[@SpookyDeerArt]

i remember borrowing the pencil sharpener. we never got cool school supplies when i was a kid, just the bare necessities lmao

[@pippingtonne]

i never had any foohy products but i remember that marker ad playing all the time. so much of my childhood is just locked away behind layers and layers of memories and videos like these take a core sample to release them again.

[@emilybrown3689]

Man, I used to collect the little erasers. I never used them after the first time ended in an artistic catastrophe; but, since I still found them so adorable, the collection just amassed. I think they played a big part in my journey to craft tiny charms from clay. I kinda miss them, honestly.

[@gothyoutubeviewer]

Oh my gosh, I had the lava sharpener and totally forgot about it until now! I didn't have the erasers, but I remember them and the brand itself. Wow, thanks for unlocking that memory!

[@Takomaster87]

Bruh I completely forgot about these. I could never get them myself, but I had some friends who gave me their older used ones when they got new ones

[@KappaCow]

Wow! It's so crazy how memories you have completely forgotten about can be triggered in the snap of a finger! And now I remember it all like it was yesterday. From 1st-4th grade my elementary school's principal was named Mr. Marvin. As incentive for good behavior he invented these little sheets of fake money with dollar bills with his face on them, and called them Marvin Bucks. At the end of each month, a cart would go around school classroom to classroom with a bunch of random cool toys, school supplies, etc. and you could buy things from it with the marvin bucks. I remember vividly buying the foohy eraser caps and I even had that exact lava lamp pencil sharpener! Sucks they would turn black a week after using them from the pencil lead, lol. I also remember NEVER using my foohy heads to erase things because I wanted to keep them as nice as possible, so I would pop it off and use the pencils regular eraser to erase things. Thanks for triggering such a distant memory!! Just think of all the things we have completely forgotten about that we have yet to trigger in our memory!

[@steelwulfo1771]

Hey, like i said on your Live Stream the other day. I think it'll make for a very interesting video for the Dish, and Direct TV, TV games!! I remember as a child back in 2007 getting to go on channel 105 (for dish) and being able to play various games from Disney and Disney XD cartoon lineup. The games i remember for sure being on this service are: Suit life of Zack and Cody, American Dragon, Kim possible, and even some games that were just generic puzzles and i definitely remember this triva game on dish. These games were a big part of my childhood and it would be amazing to even see these games again!

[@nei_chan8201]

I remember the lava lamp pencil sharpener so well. I remember having classmates with them and I thought they were so cool. I never collected any foohy items but I remember one of my old elementary school friends gave me her light blue foohy eraser and I treasured that thing for a long time

[@mangaboss1411]

These were sold at our book fairs every year, everyone loved them, they were all over the school. I'm sure I still have some in my old backpacks and such.

[@SerafiniAGaunt]

I remember accidentally starting a Foohy drug ring in the 2nd grade. What started out as innocent trading of the scented block erasers devolved into thievery and bribery of the erasers (especially the grape ones) for test answers and HW! :D

[@Franku69]

I remember seeing tons of kids with these in my classrooms. I think I even used a few of them too. So much nostalgia.

[@feathersstreet]

I miss my lava lamp sharpener :( Their sented erasers were my favorite things ever. They worked good and smelled amazing. Dollar tree has some knockoff ones that are nearly identical though. I still have my multicolor foohy pen from when i was in elementary school and still use it sometimes

[@shrimpbisque]

I remember seeing Foohy school supplies in the store when I was younger, but I never bought any because I thought the monkey mascot looked stupid.

These erasers actually added a good amount of weight to the end of a pencil.Made it really good and easy to learn pencil tricks and flips for me in middle school.Thats where i learned to “juggle” a pencil basically these erasers helped a ton.i remember them being sold at target for years but just forgot about them one day til now

[@darkninjafirefox]

I loved the scented Foohy erasers that were monkey heads! And I was forced to use the pencil grips when i was young cause I hold my pencil "wrong" so I just started chewing on them

[@tobiashysell3239]

I remember the Foohy erasers from elementary and middle school, but I honestly remember the Foohy games on the website more. I especially remember one game that was like a super low quality first-person shooter flash game. I remember you were shooting at the monkeys they would moon you or something when you missed. I remember playing it at my dad’s work and being super worried that it was considered “inappropriate”. Man, I never thought I would be nostalgic for erasers and dumb flash shooter games featuring monkey butts. What a weird time to be a kid.

[@chocolattemocha8512]

Oh I remember those! Never had any of them myself but I remember seeing the lava lamp sharpener this one kid had and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

The next day, I fucking opened up flood gates of absolute nostalgia for the people sitting next to me. This video just opened up that memory.

[@naomibee9020]

In the 90s we had something similar, Yikes brand. They had these cool pencils with black wood or different colored notches... Plus swirly and twisty erasers.

[@DisneyMBTVCNetwork]

I think you’re mostly right, LSuperSonicQ, according to the Images Section of my favorite search engine, Google, it looks like sometime between early 2011 and late 2012 that another Sanford Brand, Paper Mate, seem to have absorbed the entire Foohy Erasers and School Supplies Product Line Products and then begin re-releasing their old products in new generic packaging without any of the old logos from the older and oldest packaging.
