Speaking from the view of someone who did that: No. When I was in middle school, the big rage was "Hyper Color" shirts, that changed color with body heat. Of course, once they were washed one time, did they ever work again? No. Just a fad. And I paid $26 for it (at the time, $26 was probably what $50 would be today). Actually, my mom wouldn't even let me buy it, or buy it for me. I used birthday money from my grandparents. What a waste of money. But I was cool for a little while with my Hyper Color shirt. (Those were the good old days...New Kids on the Block, etc.,what fun! LOL)
