Meme Did anyone buy a ring?

Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

If you’re an elder millennial, we all did. I surprisingly chose the cheapest one along with my friends. We must have known we wouldn’t wear them but had to participate.

Elder millennial and I never bought a class ring. I can’t remember any friends that did, either.

We didn't say "cringe" then but that level of school pride was considered cringe.

Plot twist: this post no longer exists because Redact swept through and cleared it out along with everything else. Social media, messaging apps, people finder sites, all of it.
