This was how they used to generate the lottery numbers. ;-)

Cool Runnings

When they rolled in the TV you knew holidays where near ...............

Has always been. No matter what, he always stood up for his family

My favorite color :)

Sometimes even rented a portable VCR to watch with friends at the clubhouse. Of course, the VCR got cold in the car, moist condensated on the head when you took it in and so you spend lots of time waiting and/or blowing with an hair drier for it to regain room temperature and dried. (VCR's have a moisture detector. A little moist would cause the VCR tape to stick to the fast-spinning head ruining the tape and possibly the heads )

Omg, they were brilliant 🤗🤗🤗

Palm tree for me!

Sandlot...!!

T2 in the arcade.

My dad was a computer programmer and he knew the y2k thing was a big joke.

I literally feel the sandals. If one little stone went in there it was there to stay forever!

that sound !!!!

not an unpopular opinion

I can hear the picture

True story

I had a Pepsi Max branded one. So 90s

For nokia 3310 it was to protect the floor.

Oh man. Pound puppies. Hate to admit it but I had one back in the 80's.

Loved their salad bar.

Sanka, ya dead man?

They still sell these ( or very similar ones) in Europe

if you would go to a blockbuster nowadays you'd propably feel a slither of nostaglia the first few times. After that it might become an inconvenience. You miss the blissful days of beeing a kid - unrelated if it was before or after 9/11. Adults of tomorrow will have the same sappy feelings for long discord sessions with their mates playing Fortnite of building settlements in Minecraft together.

The lap belt. The years I spent wearing one of those because I liked to sit in the middle to see where I was going. Horribly dangerous things in a crash.

Not just books ... Also records. Flipping through all the records, selecting new stuff to try just based on the album cover/artist name/album name. Cycling home full excitement to listen it it's any good. Found some c**p but also discovered a few good ones that way. I still have those I bought when they went out of their collection. Usually 5..10% of new price. Some where on loan only once ...that was me.

I had penfriends. Girls from all over the country that I met through adds on tv and never met in person. I was on a lookout for a postman every day :).

What about checking the "D" batteries? TWANG! Yup, still good!

...and any nostalgia is gone. Thanks bullies!

And Steve Buscemi looks so different. That was the movie Airheads, right?

Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's laboratory, The Powerpuff girls, Johnny Quest, Dragonball Z are missing

OMG! This is my hometown junior high! I went there in the 80’s.

I really wanted H style, but we got hand me down G style ones so I had to wear those...

You already had a fan, even though you weren't famous...🙋🏽

much better than today's ice cold shi.t

I had these. They still make them in an updated version, so I bought them for my kid.

That is a good thing.

Unrelated but does anyone remember the "Sit Ubu , Sit" ad thingy?🤣

I ❤️d Beakman's World!

I don't know how but it worked. Did we have better imagination?

I didn't even read what it said before I could picture the inside of the football because it was always missing a portion.

One day when I was 12-13 I was watching something and it changed to Spanish. No noticeable difference other than it went from English to Spanish and I sat there absolutely amazed and confused for a solid 5 mins, waiting for it to switch back. Until I realized the cat wiggled and changed the channel to the affiliate Spanish station just as I blinked. That's where the cats sat in the 90s and it never occurred to me that Ms Chonky changed the channel.

Would totally own one even now. I had a dark maroon one in 1999.miss that big ugly boat.

How cool is that! :D

That´cool. Can we also see the "Now" picture pls ? :)

Loved those. Can taste them now.

Could never get them to be an even temp. Either some cold spots, or put it back in and burnt some spots.

Loved these promos have many from bk and mcdonalds

Yeah. I always wondered about that. Never stopped me from drinking them though. In the 80's we didn't complain much or our parents would "give us something to complain about."
