Being born in the 90's is one of the best things to happen to me. I may be biased but I wouldn't be surprised if others agree. The T.V. shows and movies were better, the snacks were better, the school supplies was better, basically everything was better. I'm all for growing up and of course things are always changing, but there are definitely things from the '90s I wish never left. I took some time reminiscing on the memories of my childhood and came up with a list of things that are sure to leave all '90s kids nostalgic.
1. Mr. Sketch Scented Markers
We all probably spent an unhealthy amount of time smelling these markers when using them but how can you not!? They smelt so good, and were also fun to color with.
2. Hit Clips
3. Easy Bake Oven
You didn't have to be a girl to use this although it was popular among the ladies. As good as the treats were I always got so frustrated because my baked goods never looked as good as the ones in the pictures.
4. Ouch Bubble Gum
It may not have healed injuries but is sure did taste good!
5. Scratch n' Sniff Stickers
Getting a good grade on a test was great but these scratch n' sniff stickers made it that much better.
6. Lite Brite
Not sure if this is still laying around the house somewhere but i'd definitely still play with this. Such a fun past time.
7. The Original Road Map
Really wish these were still around or that I had kept mine so some day my kids could experience the same joy of playing with Hot Wheels on this mat.
8. Hot Wheels
Maybe it's just cause I have brothers but I always enjoyed playing with Hot Wheels and these tracks.
9. Strawberry Creme Savers
If you didn't know what these were or never had them I'm so sorry. These were seriously so good. It feels like they fell of the face of the planet though because they've been gone forever!
10. Weird Bubble Balloons
I feel like I always saw commercials for this, wanting to buy it, but never actually getting it. Still looks entertaining.
11. "Lizzie McGuire"
Oh how I loved this show. Next best thing was when they made it into a movie.
12. Original Disney Movies On VHS
Such great movies that will never get old. It's hard to even pick a favorite.
13. Trix Cereal When It Had Shapes
Such a sad day when they no longer made Trix in actual shapes and just round balls.
14. Skip Its
These were all fun and games until you messed and took it to the ankle.
15. AIM
When the only form of communication was through AIM and we went through such trouble to make away messages. Screens names were always anything but your name, and it was important who your top buddies were.
16. View Master
The best way to travel to places we couldn't actually go to.
17. Rolie Polie Olie
Not sure what happened to this show but it was definitely the bomb.
18. Trix Yogurt
Loved these yogurts and all the colors just made it more fun to eat.
19. Chokers
These were all the rage and if you loved them back then you may be happy now because they're starting to come back!
20. Glow In The Dark Stars
These were definitely something I had in my room when I was little. Perfect for kids who are a little scared of the dark, but also still look cool!
There are of course so many other things from the 90's that I wish were still around today but if I listed them all i'd be here for days. As much as I love my iPhone, it would be great to go back the days of AIM and riding your bike to your friends house to see if they're home. But because that will never happen and most of things are gone for good, it was nice to reminisce a little.
