As Thanksgiving is coming to an end, the TV is flooded with holiday advertisements. While I'm painfully watching one ad after another, I can't help but think about whatever happened to all those toys we had as kids. Remember these?
1. Gameboy
And you had to have it in pink.
2. American Girl Dolls
Samantha Parkington was the OG.
3. Shrinky Dinks
Were you cool if you didn't wear a Shrinky Dink tied around a piece of lanyard as a necklace?
4. Pretty Pretty Princess
And you would find the jewelry randomly all over your house.
5. Polly Pockets
Still not as good as Barbies, but these mini pieces of plastic rocked.
6. Furbies
These were SO creepy and looked stoned. Why did we love them so much?
7. Easy Bake Oven
You felt so proud after making something yourself, even if it was actually pretty inedible.
8. Tamagotchi
These were awesome until you accidentally left your "pet" unattended during a long day of elementary school and starved it.
9. Hit Clips
What isn't great about listening to 10 seconds of "I Want Candy" over and over again?
10. Mall Madness
Teaching kids everywhere how to recklessly swipe their credit cards.
11. Bop It
These were low-key hard.
12. Skip-It
How many times did you accidentally whip your friend in the ankle with this while making her watch you do it?
13. My Size Barbie
Did this freak out anyone else's parents?
14. Butterfly Clips
The more glitter the better.
15. Klutz Hair Wrap Books
Who needs to fly to an Island to get their hair wrapped?
16. Slap Bracelets
A weapon and a piece of jewelry all in one.
17. Spice Girls Dolls
Spice Girls EVERYTHING.
18. Lisa Frank Coloring Books
The goddess of arts and crafts.
19. Sky Dancers
What was the point of these anyway?
20. Betty Spaghetty
The perfect cross between Polly Pockets and Barbie.
