Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

I'll admit it. I miss them. Wasn't the world more wholesome back then, or did it just seem that way cause I was a kid?

[Pc Pro]

I failed

[Evil Chick]

Whoa! That's so funny! I remember almost all of that!

[Sonuna]

"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.

[Aram]

I feel really really old....

I remember all of that.. and even participated in most of it..

[darcie]

No, here's when one would feel old after reading it: Although some of it is early 90s, the later 90s stuff I was too old to experience!

[Catspaw]

That's a great list, JD - thanks! I don't relate to nearly all of them, but a bunch of them are quite familiar.

I used to have light-up shoes in grade three or four, and I was the only one in my class that had them - I was cool! Those were the days.

And they still sell Ring Pops and kids still like them, so that isn't only a '90s thing, though the overall selection probably used to be less, so they stood out more.

[the_newfie_haystack]

Scary thing is, I can remember almost all of this. (I was born in the early ninties.)

Haystack

[Danadelfos]

I remember about 3/4 of the list but we never watched that much tv.

[Pc Pro]

I never have or will prod watch TV

[The Top Crusader]

Most of that is cool, but... including Home Alone 3 with 1 and 2!? That was like, a decade later. And no one liked it.

But wow, I miss a lot of that stuff. I remember being excited to get up on Saturday morning for cartoons... now I don't think any of the regular networks have kids stuff... except Fox. I used to watch Muppet Babies on I think CBS and Captain N and Super Mario Bros. 3 on NBC... and Fox had the older Batman and X-men and Spider-man cartoons... before they started just showing anime.

[Candy]

Scary thing is, I can remember almost all of this. (I was born in the early ninties.)

Haystack

Yeah I know, That's...

[Anne Doyle]

We never had the coolest of the cool clothes, so light up shoes weren't in the picture, but I remember so much of the other stuff. I ate warheads the other day after not seeing them for years and years and it was such a memory trigger!

[Jonathan]

Even though I'm not that old---(not saying that you guys are...)

Gee, thanks

But this did make me feel old.

You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ]

Only b/c of Ice Age, which isn't 90ish, but anywho...

You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain

AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!

I'd still watch those if they were still on.

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

Never, and I mean never slept in on a Saturday. Cartoons are very lacking nowadays.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

Oh, wow, you have no idea. Even on those insanely old Macintosh computers on the giant floppy floppy disks.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

I remember seeing a ton of them, but never read them.

when everyhting was settled by rock paper scissors..or bubble gum bubble gum in a dish...and even better daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky.

Or "Oboe, shin not tin tot en, nay nay, I am boom boom boom..." *laughs*

when cops and robbers was a daily activity.

when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

Or when outdoor games and imagination ruled surpreme. My personal favorite was monster tag.

"Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?" was both a game and a TV game show.

Still have the game, and was addicted to that show.

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.

Ha. I remember when Nintendo's were popular (still play Mario from time to time), and when a neighbor had Atari.

You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.

I had the opposite problem. I recorded plenty of funny stuff. Just never wanted to send it in

You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

Three stunk. The first one was nothing short of classic.

You remember watching The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Reading Rainbow on PBS.

Hey, on a rainy day, there was a great way to spend the afternoon after school ^_^

You remember eating Warheads.

The first time I had a warhead I literally fell over. Getting teachers to eat one was really fun.

You remember drinking Surge, and Tang.

...Tang isn't around anymore?!?! o_O

Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.

Those were nothing short of coolness.

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

Actually, yes. Haven't heard that word in years.

And Windows 95 was the best.

I still have a computer that runs Win95

Gak was the coolest stuff invented.

Cept it smelled funny.

Lambchop's song never ended.

It just goes on and on my friend! Some people started singing it one day not knowing what it was....

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

Well, duh! That's where Kenan and Kel hung out! Speaking of orange....

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

Extremely.

You know the Macarena by heart.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

Before MIKE JONES . . .

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .

I could do without all of those. Though the internet is nice to have.

Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

Ha! Like procrastination ended in 1999.....

When light up sneakers were cool.

When they were? They still look cool on little kids.

I'll admit it. I miss them. Wasn't the world more wholesome back then, or did it just seem that way cause I was a kid?

I second that all.

[Dr. Watson]

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was so cool! The Rockappellas were a bit cheesy though.

[darcie]

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego was so cool! The Rockappellas were a bit cheesy though.

What are you talking about!! Rockapella rocked!

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

Oh, wow, you have no idea. Even on those insanely old Macintosh computers on the giant floppy disks.

Those 5 inch disks! I remember when the smaller, hard ones came out and were also called floppies... so weird. Anyone else learn how to program in Logo in elementary school? (Or is that too 80s? )
