I don't know about you, but it seems as though more and more great things are coming to an end. Don't get me wrong, new is nice, but what happened to the things we grew up with? Check out these 10 things that should be making their second-time debut in 2016.
1. Sour Altoids: Not going to lie, I begged my mom for these at the checkout line and used to get them in my stocking each Christmas.
2. Pencil Grips, Multi Pens, and Gel Pens: The more grips you had, the better your elementary school street cred was. As for the pens, they could make finals week more colorful, therefore more enjoyable. Maybe.
3. Old Disney Shows: Because I truly felt like I was a part of Raven and The Baxter family, Louis and the Stevens Family, Sugar Mama and the Proud Family, and how could I forget Lizzie and the McGuire Family?
4. Heelys: Please just imagine how quickly you could go through campus with these babies.
5. Motorola Razr: These suckers are actual bricks. Yes the iPhone life is the best life, but you know you won't hear me saying, "I just shattered my new Razr!" Oh, and you know it has to be the pink one.
6. The Parachute and Scooters: College Kinesiology class credit please and thank you. But seriously, where do I submit suggestions? We promise not to run our fingers over this time.
7. Sundays Off: This may just be me being old fashioned, but they should be for church, relaxation, family time, you name it. You go Chick-fil-A; except of course we crave you most on Sundays.
8. The Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter, and NSYNC: My first loves. Please just come back and make one more CD. I Want It That Way.
9. Ouch and Fruit Stripe Bubble Gum: Okay I admit the flavor lasted for about 5 seconds, but you know that didn't stop you. And free tattoos inside? You just can't beat that.
10. Other Shows You Know I Couldn't Forget About: This is throwing it way back, but Supermarket Sweep, Fear Factor, Nickelodeon GAS? Come on. You know you wanted to be victorious as Moira Quirk handed you your "trophy" aka a glowing piece of the Aggro Crag. Glorious. For those who know what I'm talking about, I love you. For those who don't, you definitely missed out.
Although there are hundreds of things I wish would make a comeback, these have to be the ones I feel the most nostalgia over. For the ones I didn't mention, here's a shout out to a few others that are gone but not quite forgotten: Dunkaroos, Tamagochis, Moon Shoes, Furbys, Light Up Yo-Yos, and Candy Land.
If we all came together and signed petitions...or something like that, we could see these back in action and in society once again. Okay, probably not, but we can always dream, right? 90's kids especially, let's have a meeting and reunite. Under the Parachute.
