List: Top Ten Most Ridiculous Crazes Of All Time
Date: November 2008
Source: grabitnow.com
Base: Over 3,000 people were polled. This was a UK based survey.
Notes: For non-UK reader's, the Mullet was a hairstyle with a distinctive combination of shorter hair on top and at the sides and a shaggy mane at the back. A spokesman for grabitnow.com, which carried out the survey, said: "Although our research reveals the worst fads, every year we see a relaunch of a classic craze. The mullet became a massive craze in the Eighties - but when you look at images of the style now, it does look ridiculous."
