FANNY PACKS

Misunderstood.


“Yo, I got myself a fanny pack

They were having a sale down at The Gap

Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap

Pop! Pop! Hope no one sees me get freaky!”-Weird Al Yankovic, White & Nerdy

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

• The name "fanny pack" is derived from the fact that they were traditionally worn

facing the rear above the buttocks, for which "fanny" is a slang term in the

United States.

• In the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa, other terms are used, since

the word "fanny" means…something other than a rear end.

HISTORY

• In the 1980s, the fanny pack received its name and entered popular culture.

• It is hard to pinpoint the first person to manufacture a fanny pack, because it

wasn't a specific brand name and many different companies had versions of this

product marketed under different names.

• Fanny packs reached the peak of their popularity in the late 1980s and early-to-

mid 90s.

• Fanny packs were predicted to be the hottest product of 1988 by Adweek

Magazine.

FANNY PACKS TODAY

• Today, fanny packs are considered to

be a fashion faux pas.

• Many consider the fanny pack a sure

mark for an out-of-place tourist,

invoking the traditional tourist

stereotypes known around the world.

• Or it’s considered an item worn by

older people.

• This is obviously not true.
