"Whatever Happened To?" digs up the artifacts of a not-so-distant past—things once essential, now half-forgotten. It’s a search for the cultural leftovers that shaped a time and then quietly disappeared, leaving behind questions, memories, and the occasional lingering punchline. Some were fads that burned bright and fast, like a slap bracelet snapped one too many times. Others were fixtures—so deeply woven into the background of daily life that their absence feels almost unnatural, like trying to explain a world before Blockbuster or AIM away messages. And then there are the oddities, the absurd footnotes of pop culture, the things that maybe never should have existed in the first place but did, and for that brief, shining moment, mattered. ​ This is a catalog of the misplaced, the misremembered, and the mildly ridiculous. A tribute to the things that once ruled school hallways, TV screens, and junk drawers, now lost to time (or just buried under a pile of old phone chargers).
