There are some people in this world who wear fanny packs. My dad is one of those people. At least he has somewhat good uses for such things. It’s more in the same vein of what one could refer to as a utility belt in the same sense of what a super hero would use it for. Inside his, you might find his digital camera, useful tools, or perhaps a pack of gum. No big deal as he also carries a wallet. The pack attached to his hip is quite useful and applied very well.
For the rest of the general population, I don’t think fanny packs are such a good idea. Sure, it’s better than stuffing your pockets and wallets full of whatever it is that you need to carry around, but I think there is a bigger issue here. Flashy, bright colored bags, or dare I even mention neon, should be against the law. There is nothing worse than saying, “Look at me world! My life is so much better than yours because I’m wearing a fanny pack! Yeah!… Take that! I have a fanny pack!”
Great for vacations and hiking expeditions, but not the mall or grocery store. Please.
