Tell Us The Most Obscure Thing You Remember From The '00s
Like, everybody reminisces about their Nintendo DS, but I've never heard anyone else talk about the LeapPad. It felt like magic – just insert the cartridge, and it would read the book when you touched the words with the pen.
And, as a kid who was obsessed with animals, Stanley was my favorite Playhouse Disney show. Getting to meet him IRL at Disney World felt monumental at the time.
Or what about Tooth Tunes, the electric toothbrush that played music? Mine sang "Be Good to Me" by Ashley Tisdale!
And that scene from The Simple Life where Paris Hilton cooked bacon with an iron is burned into my brain.
So, what's something from the '00s you're convinced that only you remember? Or something from the '00s that today's kids wouldn't understand? Share your thoughts in the comments or in the anonymous comments for below, and they may be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!

復古跑鞋熱潮再升溫！Marc Jacobs 全新鞋款 72 Spring Sneaker 低調突襲
過去，Marc Jacobs的設計從來就與跑鞋無關，紐約出身的他向來以大膽前衛的個人風格著稱，旗下鞋履也總是充滿戲劇張力而非功能性導向，例如過膝高台厚底靴和亮面皮革樂福鞋。不過，今番品牌無預警發佈一款名為 72 Spring Sneaker 的鞋款，其靈感源自 Y2K 年代的科技跑鞋，與他過往的所有設計大相徑庭。 近年各大設計師品牌紛紛推出復古的平底運動鞋，這股風潮從 Miu Miu 的 Gymnasium、Loewe 的 Flow 到 Dries Van Noten 的 Suede 等鞋款便可見一斑，而 72 Spring Sneaker 正是在此時登場。回頭看，Jacobs 舊有的球鞋設計如 Lazy Runner 和 Jogger 等，都因其誇張的厚重輪廓而顯得過時。 新款 72 Spring Sneaker 明顯更為纖細，鞋面設計也更具層次感，由網眼材質與多種科技感覆蓋層構成。吸睛的配色如紫紅/綠和黃/棕尤其亮眼，當然也有全黑與全白的低調選項可供選擇。此外，最與眾不同的當屬仿舊丹寧版本，以磨損的毛邊和靛藍斜紋布料呈現；而全棕色麂皮款則為鞋履增添一絲優雅氣質。 這款新鞋與設計師其他鞋款風格迥異是有原因的。Marc Jacobs 此次特別邀請設計與工程工作室 Areté 操刀，該工作室曾為 Raf Simons、Stone Island、ERL 和 A-Cold-Wall 等品牌服務，這也解釋了為何 72 Spring 的整體質感，遠比 Marc Jacobs Jogger 等舊作更為精緻。 考量到 Miu Miu 和 New Balance 530 聯名鞋款與其他當紅鞋履所引領的趨勢，這款新鞋無疑潛力無窮。多元的配色也為未來的發展埋下伏筆，品牌或許將增添更多裝飾細節、嘗試新材質，甚至開啟聯名企劃。 本次 Marc Jacobs 突襲發售新鞋，正逢多方報導暗示 LVMH 集團可能將品牌轉售給另一家品牌管理公司，截稿為止，Marc Jacobs 與 LVMH 官方均未證實此傳聞。 Marc Jacobs 72 Spring Sneaker 建議售價為 $225 美元，目前已於Marc Jacobs 官方網站及指定零售點販售。 相關報導 >Palace Skateboards 2025 秋季 Lookbook 正式發佈 >Hermès 第二季財報揭示銷售強勁成長 9%

This Pedicure is Controversial, But I Wear It Every Summer
I've always loved a French pedicure. No matter what's going on in my life, it always makes me feel polished, like I have my life together — even when I'm not wearing a lick of makeup or I haven't washed my hair in days. With that in mind, I'm thrilled that the design is making a comeback. But it's not in the Y2K way you might remember from your teenage years (alongside velour tracksuits and frosted lip gloss). If Instagram is anything to go by, the French pedicure is chic and modern. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Harriet Westmoreland (@harrietwestmoreland) What is a French pedicure? If you're looking for a do-it-all pedicure that goes with everything and works for any occasion, the classic French is versatile. Whether you're heading to the beach, the office or your third wedding of the summer, it just works. Whether you love it or hate it, a French pedicure is a classic for a reason: 'It's clean, elegant and endlessly wearable,' says Juanita Huber-Millet, founder and creative director of Townhouse. 'Traditionally, this look features a soft nude or pink base with a crisp white tip.' Adding, 'It's that timeless contrast that makes it so instantly loved and recognisable.' It's little wonder, then, that the design is often spotted on some of the world's biggest celebrities at red carpet events. Think Rihanna, Kylie Jenner and Lily Allen, who are just a few stars frequently photographed with a fresh French pedicure. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Milly Mason (@millymason_) What are the benefits of a French pedicure? French pedicures aren't limited to just pink and white; there are endless possibilities to explore with colours and creative designs: 'French pedicures are back but in a unique and modern way,' says Fatima Naveed, senior brand manager at Duck & Dry. 'We're enjoying using fresh new shades and details to breathe new life into the traditional design,' like chrome and pastel tips, and jelly base colours. Huber-Millet loves that the French pedicure complements every skin tone — and grows out beautifully. 'It's understated luxury that never goes out of style,' she says. But not everyone is sold on the French pedicure. If social media is anything to go by, it's even a little controversial at times. Why? Naveed explains that the trend essentially emphasises the overgrown tips of toenails, making critics question the look's practicality. 'Personally, though, I think that the key lies in the length as well as the choice of tip and base colour,' she says. 'A milky white or a sheer pink tip will give a more subtle, chic finish than bold white tips.' As for the base shade? 'It's more than just a background colour; it sets the entire tone of the design.' What does the French pedicure look like in 2025? If you want to avoid the overgrown look, consider one of the biggest French pedicure trends. Enter: micro tips. 'The micro French pedicure is gaining huge popularity,' says Naveed. 'It consists of a very thin tip along the edge of toenails, which provides a clean and understated look.' The secret to pulling it off is keeping toenails short and well-groomed. This helps enhance the minimalist effect. Naveed's clients also opt for a 'Frombré' effect (French ombré) which blends the nude base and milky white tip shades to lend a subtle, modern take on the look. Huber-Millet adds that 2025 is seeing a real evolution of the French pedicure: 'It's all about tonal or unexpected colour pairings and playful accents like chrome, shimmer or deep red shades for a moodier take. It's fresh, flattering and very now.' Keeping that in mind, scroll on for nine French pedicure trends to try now.
