Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

 

hahaha suprisingly i rememberlike 50% of these, and i was born in the 1991 - so its all not that old and taken to hell. great find Renee, gave me quete afew laughs

 

i was born in 89 and still remember all that junk

 

and how the hell did rocket power make it onto the list that show came out in 99. Who born in the early 80's would watch that show.

Edit same goes with the wildthornberries that came out in 98

 

i remember when gas was 35 cents a gallon,you could get 10 loaves of bread for a dollar,8 track tapes,no cable tv,before beta,much less vcr's were thought of,Sigmund and the sea monster and h r puffin stuff was the rage on tv , Mc Donald's signs read "over 1 million served" and pong was what every kid wanted for christmas..

my how times have changed...

 

goosebumps was awesome tho, i remember during half term around 2000 a tv show appeared with one eppisode per book, theyd show it early in the morning so back then 8am im awake, munching a sandwich and glued to the tv, hahahha memories xD

 

if you would have included 10 cent margirita night at max and ermas i could have sworn you were my mom

 

and i always dreamed about lightup sneekers, but never got some, haha would envy the other kids walking about with pulsng LED's on the soles. and yo yo's were the shit, id play that thing so much

 

did you ever have the yo yo guys come to your school. They came twice to one of my elementary schools.

And how about the macarena, i cant believe that was ever popular

 

lol.. i actually dont remember how cheap alcohol was back then..i do remember 1.99 all you can eat buffet's, and 3 pieces of bubble gum for a penny...

 

i think yo-yo,s and slinky's are timeless...

 

yea i remember trhe macarena, and back then i also thought it was cool. also yo yo is a toy dude, how would it come to my school? :lol:

edit: and yea rofl i remember having various slinky's, both small and large, coloured and not. shit man this thread brings back so many awesome memories i thought i didnt have

 

really werent much of a drinker in your younger years then

 

there were yo yo guys, they would come show us some tricks and sell us shitty yo yo's

thats about all i remember

 

:lol: wow thats silly, no i dont recall of that happening

 

no i remember having people buying us booze as young as 11 an 12, i just dont remember how much it cost.. seems like them 8 packs of the pony buds were like a buck 49 or some shit.. really dont remember..

 

I was an 84 baby and this sums up my childhool perfectly with the exception of MacGyver and Salute Your Shorts being missing.

 

Yea some things were missing, and some things were a little too new. I think a lot of that stuff stuck around for awhile, that's why those of you born in the 90s remember it.

Time's were so simple then.. lol Sometimes I wish I could go back.

 

I remember that too. We also had jugglers come.

 

haha iwas born in 90 and remember most of that
