This week, we explore how some of the craziest fads are marketed. We'll look at how one student's school project changed the way we sleep, why a single toy made Tyco the subject of bomb threats and how a popular piece of jewellery was inspired...by doctors.

From the Thighmaster to the Pet Rock, we'll break down what makes fads so absolutely irresistible.
