TRAPPER KEEPERS, YO!
Who remembers their Trapper Keeper? Shiiii… weren’t they fucking awesome?!
I remember owning one, from the Designer Series, you know the ones that had rad designs, geometric shapes and shit. Like some computer graphic crap that programmers designed back in the day.
Whoever came up with this Trapper Keeper idea was a fucking genius! They were huge in the 80′s and 90′s. It was like the God of all notebooks. We flaunted them like we flaunt smartphones today. A kid without a Trapper Keeper was like a stripper with no pole. You walk around school carrying your bag and your Trapper Keeper. It made school life a lot easier.
I loved the velcro closure mechanism, the built-in clips, the crazy-ass folders and rubber pockets. And I remember being careful in choosing the Trapper Keeper design. The lame choice would have dire consequences, like other kids dancing around you like MC Hammer.
And wasn’t doing homework fun when you had a Trapper Keeper?
Props to Mead.
