The holographic binder covers that they came out with in the 00's. Remembering accidentally rubbing my nails across the plastic ridges on those still bothers me.

I literally get goosebumps just thinking about this texture. I hate it.

There are dozens of us.

But yeah, I'm glad those went out of style. 20 plus years later and it's still the immediate thing I think about when people mention unpleasant textures.
