Memories and Mem Cakes

In the Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion, you collect these little things, “Mem Cakes:”

In the early 90′s, there was a fad among my elementary school classmates for collecting these cute designer erasers, which I was immediately reminded of. I had a collection of over 100 of them; they were only 10 cents or so.

It took me a while, but I dug up the collection, so I’d like to share my own personal Mem Cakes. Many of them were melted or ripped, these are the ones in mostly good shape.

The Mem Cakes in game replicate the design exactly; even the edges are stretches of the same color like they were cut from a clay log.

I have no idea how widespread or well-known this fad was, but it was part of my elementary school days at least, so thanks to Splatoon for bringing me back.
