Everything was always better when you were a kid. Since Christmas is coming up, I decided to think about and look up some toys from the late 90's and early 00's:

1) That green/purple ketchup

Not really a toy, but still one of the greatest things of my childhood. Since I pretty much survived off of hot dogs and nuggets, this stuff was the best. And, yes, I wanted it for Christmas.

2) A Wonderball

I was in Walmart recently waiting in line to checkout, looked down and almost choked on my gum. "Oh my God," flew out of my mouth (and apparently louder than I wanted it to be since the man in front of me jumped and turned around) as my eyes locked on this gem.

3) Tamagotchi

I remember I always kept mine alive for so long.

4) Bratz

If I wasn't Cloe, we weren't playing. And please tell me someone else had the computer game.

5) Skip-It

After I tore the hell out of both of my legs, I was the master as this thing. Super clumsy kids+ ball and chain of death+ spin ball and chain of death on your leg...

6) Easy Bake Oven

I swear that thing made the best cakes I've eaten to this day.

7) Barbie Jeep

This is actually me. In my Barbie Jeep. With Chick-Fil-A fries in tow.

8) A Razor Scooter

Death to all kids ankles.

9) Nintendo DS

Thanks, 2004.

10) BeyBlades

These were awesome if you could get them to work.
