Things I Loved About the 90s

This week, in honor of Throwback Thursday, I wanted to talk about some of my favorite things from the 90s. Unfortunately I can’t reminsence about these things with Sam because of 3 critical factors. 1. He’s not American so a lot of these are lost on him. 2. He’s older than me. So we were definitely into different things in the 90s. 3. He has never been a girl. (However, I did play MASH with him a few months ago just so he could experience the magic.)

The 20 Best Things About the 90s:

1. Are You Afraid of the Dark?

The best part of having cable as a kid.

2. Goosebumps

I legitimately owned almost all of them! I was that obsessed.

3. Tamagotchis and Giga Pets

Personally I had a Gigapet. And that thing was CONSTANTLY keeling over.

4. Dunkaroos

Only the coolest kids had dunkaroos in their lunches. My mom refused to buy me them.
That explains a lot about my elementary school experience.

5. Playing MASH

Just call me Nostradamas ’cause I can tell your future.

6. Ringpops

Enabling kids to not only propose to each other but also
get their snack really dirty after wearing it all day

7. The Macarena

I think the Macarena was the first cassette tape I owned…..

8. Butterfly clips

No ensemble was complete without at least 2 butterfly clips.

9 Best friend necklaces

It wasn’t a real friendship till you had a necklace.

10. Lip smackers

Dr Pepper flavor was clearly the best.

11. Mood rings

They inevitably only showed one color, right?!

12. Bill Nye the Science Guy

I owe all my scientific knowledge to one man.

13. Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Witchcraft was cool waaaayyyy before Harry Potter.

14. Legends of the Hidden Temple

I hated the kids that couldn’t assemble the monkey idol.  Everyone hated those kids.
Am I right?

15. Spice Girls

The defining group of my childhood.

16. Britney Spears

In the last year of the 90s a star rose.

17. Squeeze-Its

I don’t know about being 100% juice, but they were 100% delicious.

18. N*SYNC

Look at JT smoldering with those frosted tips.
19. Mmmbop
#19 is “Mmmbop” not Hanson because really it was all about “Mmmbop”

 

20. All of the fashion from the movie “Clueless”

Platforms, short skirts, plaids and things with feathers.

What do you have 90s nostalgia about?
