When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

When $5 seemed like a million, & another dollar a miracle.

When you begged to go to McDonalds for dinner everyday.

When Toys R Us overuled the mall.

Go back to the time when:

Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.

Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming 'do over!'

'Race issue' ment arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.'

It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.

Being old referred to anyone over 20.

A chance to skate as a couple at the local roller rink was like winning the lottery.

Scrapes & bruises were kissed & made better.

It was a big deal to finally be tall enought to ride the 'big people' rides at the fair.

When playing Nintendo was the hardest thing ever.

When Ninja Turtles ruled the world.

Another Baby Sitter Club and Little Sister (Karen) book came out and you put your name on hold for it at the library.

When Aladdin was new, before the trilogy was complete.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

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

[poly800rock]

such a good decade

[Icarus]

Thanks for this. Thanks a lot.

[Carl]

Damn. I remember just about all of that.

Ive got a good one.

You're a child of the 90's if;

You wore XL tees, Soccer Shorts, Soccer Socks pulled all the way up, and sambas...to school, every single day, rain or shine.

[poly800rock]

where's dr. fad on that list? or was that 80's

[Guest Berget__]

Damn I had forgot about most of this. Greatest list EVER. Seriously.

[seraphim]

Saturday mornings were for Live&Kicking(english t.v. show) and the old X-Men cartoons.

I had every babysitters club book at some point.

Damn I miss the 90s now

[red]

Damn I had forgot about most of this. Greatest list EVER. Seriously.

agreed.....

[mr fluffernutter]

Wooowww. So many memories. The 90's were the best

[watchman]

that list is amazing. The original X-Men show was the shit, i was so excited when i found them on DVD

[azad]

thank you facebook.

[shoreman1782]

Not to rain on this nostalgia parade, but what a crappy list. It's too long by about half. A lot of this crap is just "being a kid" stuff, not "being a kid in the 90s" stuff.

And a good chunk of this stuff had to be added by stupid kids born in 1995. That doesn't count. If you watched Little Bear, you don't also remember when Kurt Cobain died. One of these memories does not belong to a child of the 90s.

Before Mike Jones? What, 2004?

<--crotchety old man born 1980

[tangerine]

I think another decade passed while I was trying to read all that.

Is editing a pre-90's concept?

<--- crotchety old man born during the Jurassic

[englandmj7]

Maybe a little more of an influence in the late eighties, but motherfuckers "in the know" know Teddy Ruxpin:

And "The American Rabbit":

Screw X-men & Darkwing Duck.......

[snugglepony]

Maybe a little more of an influence in the late eighties, but motherfuckers "in the know" know Teddy Ruxpin:

there's a store here in portland called "wacky willy's" -- basically a completely random surplus store stocked with everything from bulk wire and random obsolete computer parts to crates full of mannequin feet (usually only the right foot or the left foot, never both), to old medical equipment, to...

...about 500 teddy ruxpin dolls. most of them without any fur or clothing, but with functioning voice boxes. they've had them for years, and some friends bought about 50 for an art installation in college, but they still had a bunch last time i was there.

lemme know if you want me to check the stock and pick a few up for you, eng...

Thanks for mentioning Oregon Trail. I was going crazy trying to remember the name of that fucking game the other day.

[onemancult]

[djrajio]

And "The American Rabbit":

Holy shit. I can't tell you how many times I read this book growing up.

[lil brown brother]

... better off alone..... talk to me .. wooohooo talk to me .....

[zombiemonster]

I'm not sure if it was huge in the states, but in Canada and Australia, the early 90's were ruled by the show Degrassi Jr High.

This is what made me think of it... http://www.younglovers.com.au/t-shirt-degrassi-junior-high-jr.html
