for anyone whos rembers being a kid in the 90's

Anybody under the age of 13 should not read this, and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.



You're a 90's kid if:

You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain , and Two Stupid Dogs.

AAAAAAAH real monsters.

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

Writing M.A.S.H. notes. (and the twenty different versions of that)

Making those little paper fortune cookie things.. and then predicting your life with them.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

...Furbies.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

And Windows 95 was the best.

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers,and Ninja Turtles.

You had a favorite New Kid on the block, and you knew all of their names

Michael Jordan was a king.

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

The old dollar bills.

Silver dollars, were cool that have.

You remember a time before the WB.

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.


You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.


"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You know the significance of the number 23.

You remember playing on merry go rounds...at the play ground.






When we were younger:

When we recorded stuff on VCRs .

When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

Way back.

when it was all about N64.



WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Post this in your bulletin if you remember these days ....
If you grew up in the 90's you've gotta read this!!!

i wish they still had surge, that was the best soda ever

LoL I saw this on UG forums too, thought it was cool.

dude, to tell you guys the truth, i almost cried reading this, i mean, to think of all of those little things in life i always took for granted.... i mean, my little pet thingys always died, i always left my pokemon card out in the rain, was always letting ppls barow my 64 games to never get them back, i never realy thought those days would end, like when my grandpa would take me and my brother and sisters, and ocasionaly, my little cusians to Mc donalds, just for a happy meal, and to play in the play area, every single saturday that i stayed at my moms house we would go, all the way up until the managers started getting mad at me for being to big, and shortly after i became to big, my grandpa passed on, is was like he only lived to take me and my brother and sister to Mikky D's

omg, I read that and got the shivers. So many memories came flooding back. I know so many of them, but I am English. I wanted to win a date with Clarrisa, but I must admit, Windows 3.1 was da bomb.

Cheers for posting this and fillking me with nostalgia.

fuck Im a kid of the 60's and I remember renn and stimpy!

I grew up in the 90's...a great century indeed. It was very much a century of trends. I grew up in Israel, so addmitedly I am not familliar with the entire list, but some of them sure did cause me to say "yup, I remember that!".

thank you for this

90's was when you could go out any play all your make believe games, play with toys etc, and people woyuldn't judge you. You were safe outside from like 9 -9 on weekends, with everyone. Now, all the toys are fuckin psp's etc, electronic shit. I remembered when YOU made the fun.

Oh, does white dog poo ring any bells? You don' see much of it nowadays.

I loved the growing up in the 90's!! I miss those awesome cartoons Ahhh real monsters was the shit. I also liked Rocko's Modern life and that game show What would you do with the guy from Double dare as the host. And every Saturday night I would watch Nickoloden and my faviorte show Are you Afraid of the dark was the last show to come on. Those were the days. Wake up early saturday morning get a bowl of ceral and watch cartoons and then go outside and jump on the trampoline and listen to my walkman. I remeber going over to my friends house and playing sega and pogs. I even won the Dare essay contest in 5th grade still got the little bear they gave you as a prize some where in a box. I also had a nano baby and I always let it die. I think Im going to look on ebay for one now. :D

So many memories.... like those cerial comercials, anyone remember the Sugar Smacks frog, or that bear in the blue shirt(Cant remember what his cerial was). And whatever happened to that dog guy that was always getting chased by the cop in the Coooooooookie Crisp ones? And what about Arcades, I could spend like $20 in quarters any given day at the arcade, and the good old days.

well... i never had arcades in my nebhorhood, but when i did get to one, i would spend as mutch monney as i could get out of my mom. and i loved comercials back then, they were so much better, now they are all about the adults...

but i never knew how many ppls i could remind of there child hoods... and it feals realy great just to rember the good old simple days when bed time was when we got tired from watching cartoons and crashed out on the couch and our parents would cary us to bed, and it didnt matter what time we woke up, and any one rember playing baseball with all of the kids in the nebhorhood, no matter what race they were, i mean, we could have been playing with a iraqie, and not have a care in the world, and the guy that drove around in the white van with painted windows never tried to rape you? and he didnt give you druged candy... my uncle drove a white van and gave me candy all the time(dont know if you guys had anyone around like that, but i did)

anyone remember that cartoon with a little boy on tiny pedal car and a crazy eccentric funny uncle that hung out with him?
Looking back on it, I would be very concerned for the little boy, but at the time I thought it was all in great fun.
And for those of us not in the city...
Anyone remember waking up late, running to the tv, and watching sesame streat, before going on a walk with mom once you've eaten breakfast?

Those were the days..
