Everybody knows how great growing up in the ‘90s was. It was a much simpler time; people weren’t glued to their cell phones, Facebook didn’t exist and people weren’t so obsessed with who got the most "likes." Wouldn’t it be great to relive some of those experiences?
Well now you can! Here’s a list of things from the ‘90s that made their way back into the 2010s. Even though everyone will still be addicted to social media, at least there’s a little bit of nostalgia to make sure the ‘90s will never die and be known as the greatest decade ever.
1. French Toast Crunch
Don’t have enough time to make French toast? Well, French Toast Crunch is the cereal for you! Who doesn’t love the flavor of French toast and syrup in their cereal? Just opening the bag and getting a whiff of the flavor makes my taste buds water. Just one bite and you will be rolling in the nostalgia. Your local food store should carry it in their cold cereal isle.
2. '90s Nickelodeon
"Rocket Power," "Cat Dog," "Doug," "Rocko’s Modern Life," and a whole handful of other shows that were better than any TV show now. Who doesn’t want to relive the memories of coming home from elementary school and sitting in front of the TV for hours? These shows shaped us into who we have become and taught us values that shows are lacking today. Just tune into "Teen Nick" at midnight and all these shows will be waiting.
3. Stereo Skateboards
You’ve probably seen a lot of students riding these around campus. They’re mini, plastic and come in a rainbow of colors. These were big back in the ‘90s and now many different brands are now emerging and making a comeback. To pick up one of these mini cruisers, go to your local skate shop and buy one for around $80-$120 depending on color and brand.
4. High Waisted Shorts/Pants
Even though some people may be sick of seeing them, they are back and in style. These shorts were the epitome of ‘90s fashion and if you didn’t own a pair, you were a total lame-o. Same thing applies today; if you don’t own a pair, you’re not a real teenage girl.
5. ‘90s Sitcoms
Shows like "Full House" and "Boy Meets World" were a staples in a ‘90s kid’s childhood. Even if you weren’t the most avid fan, they were all the rage and always on television. Now they can be a staple of your twenties! Netflix is in the process of making “Fuller House," premiering in 2016, a show where an all-grown-up D.J. Tanner plays a single mother of three boys (sound familiar?). "Boy Meets World" also got their remake with the show “Girl Meets World." The first season came out in 2014 and is predicted to produce a second season.
6. Crispy M&M's
Everyone knows that plain M&M's are amazing, but with wafers inside them? That’s madness. They were once one of the biggest candies on the market, until Mars discontinued them in 2005. As of January 2015, these little pieces of heaven made their way back to shelves and are now more popular than ever.
Even if some items from the ‘90s will never find their way back to the present, they will live in our hearts forever and make us remember why a child born in the '90s had a better childhood than anyone else. For the things that came back, enjoy them while they’re here and make for good reminders of an awesome childhood.
