I have a very old pair of PF Flyers that came with a whistle. I think there's some old dog poop on them.
No, but I am not at all surprised that was a thing. Then again, that particular fashion trend took off even among really cheap jeans too.
Eh, not all fashion has to be expensive to be cool. Although whether torn jeans were cool or not was a matter of some debate, I think.
