50 Funny Posts That Might Hit You With A Wave Of Nostalgia, As Shared By This Instagram Page
The 1990s was an amazing decade to grow up in. We had the golden era of Disney Channel Original Movies, the release of the Nintendo 64, Crystal Pepsi, AOL instant messenger and some amazing music. And if you’re looking to reminisce on the days of watching Rugrats and slurping up milk through a Froot Loops cereal straw, we’ve got the perfect list for you down below.
We took a trip to the Throwback Machine Instagram page, which will instantly transport you pandas back to the 90s, so enjoy scrolling through these pics that might remind you of your childhood if you're a 90s kid. Keep reading to also find a conversation with Dave Fife of Retro Injection, and be sure to upvote the pics that make you long for that simpler time back.

I was around for MySpace but I didn’t use it. I had no idea you could choose music for your page.
Load More Replies...You may know the name but the features were different than Facebook, although your page was your page, you could add music to your home page or however you wanted to make it look/sound. Wasn't buttons like Facebook but used computer knowledge to actually accomplish half the stuff Facebook does in a click. Myspace was temporary but fueled the way for Facebook.
Believe it or not, MySpace is still online today! Blew my mind when I saw a post about it one day. I was like, "NO WAY!" Yep! It's still up and fully functional.
You just made me look it up, and yes! It's still online. Wow! I have to fire-up my one of my old desktops to get MySpace and ICQ infos.
Load More Replies...MySpace...where everyone had the one common friend and even the least computer trained individual learned how to code.
Twitter needs to find Jack Dorsey and beg him to challenge Elon Musk to a cage match for the soul of Twitter.
Off topic but I swear I seen you or your twin today but I wasn't about to ask someone at a bus stop if they are chewie baron lol

Yes, these are real pictures. I remember celebrating with her!
Load More Replies...The Throwback Machine Instagram page, also known as ‘90s Kids,’ notes in their bio that their goal is sharing “posts that make you go ‘holy [crap], I remember that!’” And clearly they’re doing a great job of evoking nostalgia, because the account has amassed over 95k followers through sharing only 716 posts. The page reminds visitors of their favorite childhood video games, television shows, snacks and more, and today, all of you pandas get to take a trip down memory lane too.
To learn more about what life was like during the 90s, we reached out to nostalgia expert and creator of Retro Injection, Dave Fife. Retro Injection is a FeedSpot-ranked "Best 25 '80s Blog/Website,” and the perfect place to visit if you’d like to reminisce on the past few decades. And according to Dave, the 90s were the “last great decade.”
I think my primary school still has theirs up. I started secondary school in 1990
these are at my school currently. in fact im going to a portable next period!
Load More Replies...These aren’t a generational thing. They’ve consistently been used for at least the last 40 years. Schools don’t get enough funding to actually build permanent additions to accommodate the increasing population.
50 actually. My second grade a*s.was.in a portable
Load More Replies...We called them 'the cabins.' Spent 2 years in one. So cold in the winter and boiling in the summer.
Load More Replies...We had these at both primary and secondary school. They didn't have ramps. We used to sit on the wooden steps.
Disability access wasn’t a thing yet and, certainly when I was at school, kids with disabilities tended to attend “special schools”. Glad there’s much more integration these days.
Load More Replies...2017! Hold on there ol timer, if my calculations are correct that was "like" SIX years ago! And they are still standing?
Load More Replies...We preferred those classrooms because they had better air conditioning than the rest of the school.
Yes, but that means finishing the last 3 minutes and 19 seconds of the old year with Phil Collins!
Stop trying to replace Auld Lang Syne Phil Collins. It's not happening.
Minesweeper for me. Once I figured it out, I started my computer time with a few games of that.
Load More Replies...Same, do actual pixel artwork on it here, wonderful program.
Load More Replies...Sad thing is, I didn't encounter a single one of those things until I was about to graduate high school... For me (and most others of Gen X): solitaire was a pack of physical cards; pinball was a machine that you had to feed quarters into; paint was a sketchpad and either colored pencils, crayons, or markers; and Minesweeper was called Battleship and you played it with another person!
Bonus points if you remember paint back when some colors were actually alternating pixels of two other colors!
Dave shared with Bored Panda that some of the best video games were released during the 90s. “The console wars raged between Sega and Nintendo on every school playground, while arcades were experiencing a resurgence with games such as Street Fighter II: Champion Edition and Mortal Kombat,” he explained. “You'd see Neo-Geo ads in magazines and wish you could afford the $650 console. The '90s were a great time to be a gamer!”
Dave also noted that “the internet was around, but hadn't yet become an invasive datamining mill. When you found something interesting online, you felt like Indiana Jones unearthing some hidden treasure. And dialing into AOL to chat with your friends on Instant Messenger was always a blast, until someone needed the phone. In my opinion, the '90s were special because there was enough connectivity to be fun, instead of an obligation.”
I miss clippy, but most of all the little cat. Loved it when the cat was lying sleeping on my screen. It was so peacefull.
I miss the cat too : he was funny and cute 😢 And we could ask him questions about how Word works
Load More Replies...Did anyone download the sheep app that just wandered around your screen? He fell off the open window edges, occasionally got abducted by aliens...
I want Microsoft to have Clippy be the face of their AI!! Who votes for this??
There are two kinds of people.... those who loved Clippy and Jar Jar Binks and those who want to kill them with fire.
Yes, this! 🤣 . . . I used to be in the second camp (they made me sooooo irrationally angry) but now I am in a third category: those who formerly wanted to annihilate them and have come around to appreciating them. . . . What does it mean?? Have I lost my edge? Am I a calmer, happier version of me? . . . (Who knew all this existential questioning would come from two cartoon characters. Lol)
Load More Replies...I remember "Clippy". He was a useful and helpful little sprite on Windows...then. Now, Windows 11 needs a "Clippy" because it is so hard to use and so glitchy. Bring back Clippy!
Was it Bonzi? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BonziBuddy) Don't remember him at all, but I do love that a search for the term "purple gorilla" brings me mostly the marijuana strain of the same name, lol!
Load More Replies...The joy when the parents could afford colour TV. My first memory is black and white TV.
Taping your favorite show but sitting next to the vcr and being techy by pausing for commercials
TV shut down at midnight. "This is the end of our broadcast day. Please join us at 5am for the Farm Report." Then the National Anthem played.
And it could be saved on one floppy disk, with at least 1 or 2 more NES games, floppy was 1.44mb new games are 150gb, that's over 100,000x bigger game sizes nowadays.
And now we have a scarf pattern ready to knit Super Mario Bros!
Load More Replies...I always tried jumping over the flagpole at the very end. A friend told me you could do that and you would go to a special warp zone. I think he was messing with me.
We also asked Dave if there’s anything from the 90s that he wishes we still used today. “Physical media was king back then in the '90s, and I miss the PlayStation demo discs that you used to be able to pick up at Toys ‘R’ Us,” he shared. “At one point, even Pizza Hut gave them away! I would play the limited levels for hours. And yes, I still have the discs.”
“Even though they weren't specific to the '90s, I also miss video stores, which of course rented games,” Dave added. “My mom would sometimes check out Fatal Fury 2 and Primal Rage for my Genesis.”
aaaaaannnnndddd now that's gonna be stuck in my head all day
Load More Replies...Ha, that just make me crack up out loud. Well done!
Load More Replies...From left to right- the landscaper, the contractor, the interior designer
They absolutely slay live. Go see Hanson ...you'll thank me later
I bet! They were talented singers as kids (even if that song was the worst earworm in existence....) and vocal/singing talent rarely fades with age :)
Load More Replies...Got in a huge debate with my dad back in the day about whether hansen was two boys and a girl or two girls and a boy. We argued for weeks, all the time, driving everyone crazy.
My sister had a poster of them on her wall and one time a guy we were friends with looked at it and said "that girl in the middle is hot"
Load More Replies...Oh man I was obsessed. I heard Zac Hanson singing his solo in the silent night medley on the Christmas album and my 11 year old heart was done for.
I miss her so much. If anyone hasn't seen the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous, please stop whatever you're doing right now and fix that shìt. The cast includes Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin, Denise Richards, Amy Adams, Kirstie Alley, Allison Janney, and the incredibly talented Brittany Murphy. My sister and I quote it all the time. "You know what, Dad? You know what? Peter's gay........GAYYYYYYYYY!"
Excellent film. She was also excellent in Girl,interrupted.
Load More Replies...Wtf you clearly don't know how to use word... it's still there, just slightly diff menu.
Load More Replies...I was actually just looking for this but couldn't find it in word. They should bring it back.
Why is everything so serious now! I remember even doing a lesson in word art and clip art as a kid 😅
And if Dave could go back in time and tell his 90s self something now, he says, “I would tell myself to cherish every moment, and to brace for a barrage of largely-manufactured crises. I'd also advise myself to start earning money right out of high school, and not waste time and money on college. And if I could go back in time, I wouldn't return.”
And it always took them forever to figure out how to turn the damn thing on! And these are the people charged with our education? And they can't work the tele the school had had forever? My suspicion about authority figures started there and it's never left me
You know something? This makes perfect sense. I'm now reevaluating my entire life.
Load More Replies...Pfft.... Back in my day, the white screen was pulled down, the Star Wars droid was pulled out, and we fell asleep to garbled music and an occasional "Booop!" And if you had magical powers of staying awake, you got to be the one to turn the k**b on each boop.
If you were really from the 90's you'd remember we said tight back then.
That lovely “thwack thwack thwack” sounds as the projector started up or reached the end of the reel…

Load More Replies...Did anyone else get to experience the betrayal of it being in your teacher's room for the better part of a week and untouched the entire time?
And never knew how to start it so there was always a drone of smart kids around that thing to get it to work...
Did that one uncovered spot of green in the middle ever bother anyone else?!
I would wait for every green bit to be covered before closing the screen.
Load More Replies...Oh! I got the "card-rush" just by looking at this, and I hope im not the only one who got that 😄
Been chasing this gamer high since ‘95, nothing hits like flying cards
I really, really wish this would come back! Such gratification when you successfully complete a game.
I read where someone has said t available, but don't remember where.
Load More Replies...Mostly excellent songs, some of which are STILL in my playlist. So there.
Load More Replies...Literally every single one of these was released in the 2000s. And the player isn't from the 90s either.
You might want to look up the definition of "literally". Californication was released in 1999.
Load More Replies...I still have the habit of making sure there are no spaces in my filenames
Evanescence came out in the 2000s. My humps came out in 2005. I Miss You came out in 2004. Toxic came out in 2003.
As far as why younger generations should keep looking back to learn more about the 80s and 90s, Dave says, “The cultural output of these decades was built to last, whereas today everything is disposable. There probably won't be a huge demand in ten years for today's auto-tuned songs or CGI-bloated movies. But even in fifty years, people will be jamming out to R.E.M, and quoting Ghostbusters. There's currently a 40th anniversary celebration for John Carpenter's Christine. Much like that '58 Fury, the '80s and '90s will never die.”
If you’d like to learn more about these magical decades, be sure to visit Dave’s site Retro Injection!
This is not a 90s thing, I remember everyone doing this in primary school
Everyone does this, whether they are a child or not, at least once in their life.
Load More Replies...I read that as "I'm 53 YO", and thought it was cool you said YO at 53... lol, 46 yo ditz right here 😏
Load More Replies...My classmates and I were heavily invested in seeing how many we could connect vertically before they all came crashing down. Even our teacher had to stop what he was doing a couple of times to join in our hushed silence, as we came closer and closer to new records. Made it to the ceiling, once, but I still don't know how we did it.
"Doing this as a kid" lol as if I don't do it still as a 48 year old "adult"
Um did that in the very early 80s and I'm sure there are many who did it before that
This has been a thing since Crayola started making markers! All the way back in 1978, which is 2 years before I was born!
We were doing it in the art room, trying to see if we could reach the teacher. Felt so cool.

All through the 80's and a little of the 90's my aunt was a manager at McDonald's; we got every single toy from her and it was glorious. These were so awesome
Mickey D's toys went to c**p , cereal box toys don't seem to have any toys, I wonder if cracker jacks still does
nope. cracker jacks prizes were all stickers for the last few years, now its a QR code you scan to play a game on your phone.
Load More Replies...Now, we can’t pay homage to the 90s without taking a moment to appreciate how wonderful the outfits of the era were. Bright colors, loud patterns, baggy jeans and sweaters, and layers upon layers upon layers. There are a few different subsets of 90s fashion, as some people were more likely to wear colorful windbreakers while others were more drawn to the grunge look with Dr. Martens and plaid flannels. But one thing’s for sure: everybody looked fly.
I had that beast! It could chew through an entire pencil in about three seconds. I've been chasing that high ever since...
Check on eBay. I found a brand new in the box salad shooter there a couple weeks ago. Works perfect.
Load More Replies...The satisfaction feeling the shaky hard sharpening pressure smoothing out letting you know your pencil was sharp. So sharp that you had to walk very carefully back to your desk so you didnt accidentally puncture someone's artery.
I still have mine. My mom bought in when I was in about fourth grade....mind you I graduated highschool in 1995 and now my kids use it....she definitely got her money's worth hahaha
I call my guinea pigs pencil sharpeners when they eat cilantro because it disappears as quickly as pencils in these bad boys
It's anyone else upset that geek.ovations.com doesn't really exist?
It was always hit or miss really. I hated when they got rid of the ones screwed into the wall at school cause they got the crappier electric ones snd people would go to other classrooms to sharpen a dang pencil lmao
Man, I'm really old, 'cause I'm digging Jeff's Bert Convy icon and the man's been dead for 32 years.
Then they were called Bush Light because their older fans needed a lower calorie band...

If you take a photo with 2 ugly guys, you will look even more handsome.
Mark McGrath was in the Scooby-Doo 2 movie lol - just rewatched that the other day!
Another lovely aspect of the 90s that Dave mentioned, that kids today don’t get to experience, is the fun of visiting a video store. A Friday evening trip to Blockbuster was the highlight of my week. I got to pick out whatever movie I wanted (that was appropriate for kids of course), find my preferred chocolate bar of the week and return home for the best night ever. There was always a risk that they wouldn’t have the film you wanted or that nothing would look appealing, but the excitement over the trip was enough to convince you to choose something. There was no going home empty handed from a video rental store.
With the new trend of banning or editing any movie that could offend literally anyone ever, it's probably best to own movies that you love because they might not be available anywhere soon.
Load More Replies...My wife and I have gone back to buying titles we really want on physical media. And OMG the title of this post....
There were no blockbusters where I lived at the time. We had "sunset videos" owned by a guy named Ken. 🤣
I used to be a Blockbuster regular...then they closed. Now I hang out on Panda...
I live in Bend, Or... Come on over if you want to hit up Blockbuster
Dude im sorry but TOTK is better yes i have played goldeneye
Load More Replies...That's the way! 😂 I also attended a James Bond party and I refused to be a James Bond girl. So I came dressed as a soldier: I was the evil James Bond girl in Golden Eye 😁😜 The guy who threw the party was so p*ssed off
Gotta be done. We went to a vicars and tarts party, I went as a druid priestess with a very nasty looking little golden sickle (he went as the Spanish inquisition, nobody was expecting that)
Load More Replies...My brother was too good at this game, so I refused to play it with him :)
Yes! Needs to be remade with updated graphics but NO CHANGE IN GAMEPLAY!
They had it in the Wii, but it was so clunky if you didn’t have 64 controllers.
Load More Replies...I don't disagree that it was a groundbreaking game for consoles and a lot of fun in multiplayer. But it very much has not stood the test of time and was not very good when compared to PC contemporaries of the time like Quake and Unreal.
Honestly 007 Nightfire on PS2 will always have a special place in my heart
Load More Replies...Oh the memories I have of this game. One of my fondest childhood memories is huddled around this game as rain beats the window, rolling down the panes as muffle gunshots echoe around the darkened room. Oh the memories.
Some of you never watched Scooby Doo crossovers, and it shows. Harlem Globetrotters, KISS, Josie and the Pussycats, Batman, and more.
When was this?!?!?! Was it before or after the Green Ranger became the White Ranger? The picture is sparking something but I don't know if I really remember or not.
It's Power Rangers in Space. It was the 6th season of Power Rangers
Load More Replies...I haven’t watched Power Rangers in so long, I used to watch it all the time
Snack time during the 90s was also next level. It seemed like not as many parents were concerned about cavities and processed sugars, so the snack of the day could be Gushers, Dunkaroos, Oreos, GoGurt or a cup of Trix yogurt. And you couldn’t forget to wash it all down with a Capri-Sun or Yoo-hoo! While you might reach for hummus and carrots or an apple and peanut butter today, you’ll never forget those delicious days of 90s treats.
Ya! My dad is my concert buddy, we have so many awesome memories
Load More Replies...Growing up is siding with Poseidon instead of the crazy girl who gave up her voice for feet she didn't need, and fell in love in 10 seconds.
I went to see Culture Club with my Dad in ‘82. I was 12 and it was my first concert!
If we listen to each other's heart .....eye to eye like i forgot the words to the song but It's looping in my head now and I'm having a blast lol
Yep, I feel this. For the adults, watch Goof troop all the way thru and then this movie. They used to do so much and now he doesnt want anything to do with his dear old dad
Me too. Do I really have to give it up if I don't have any children?
Load More Replies...We had one until the numbers fell off. I took is apart and fixed it. I had three parts left over but it worked for several more years.
Load More Replies...Never had one. But every, literally every, motel room in the whole country had one for at least 30 to 40 years.
Load More Replies...Everyone that I know that had these, also had paint dots on them for some reason?!
Lol, yep! Even when I see them at garage sales or thrift stores
Load More Replies...Buy an alarm clock today (if you can find one); accidentally knock it off the nightstand two feet down to a carpeted floor and it will break into a dozen pieces. You could use this beast to DRIVE NAILS and it would still work perfectly. I expect mine to outlive the death of the sun.
I remember when installing windows required 20+ disk that you had to put in the right order.
And then... there was a disk read error on number 17 with no option but to cancel! 8-(

Load More Replies...Me too. Still loaded up on an old tower I have, collecting dust.
Load More Replies...We hope these photos have filled you with nostalgia for the 90s, pandas. We may never be able to get that time back, but thanks to the technology we now have, it’s able to live forever virtually. Keep upvoting the pics that bring back memories for you, and then if you’re interested in reading another Bored Panda article, we recommend this one that will give you major nostalgia for the past few decades!
The way every other grown up just stands around, frowning because they know the damage being done, but not speaking up or even trying to comfort the kid after, thats the real picture of the 90's here..
The thing is, the actor who played that kid actually learned more about respecting other people from that one on-film conversation than in his entire life up to that point, according to an interview shortly after the movie first hit theaters. He later thanked Sam Neill personally for opening his eyes to what respect actually meant.
I got the book when it was first published (loved Michael Crichton's stuff), before the movie was ever started.
Me too! It's a shame that he died. I have everything that he wrote; I wish there was more!
Load More Replies...I actually looked her up yesterday (was reading the trivia on Elizabeth Olsen via Wanda Vision, hence the interest). Ashley is now married and had a baby this year. 😊
Load More Replies...This is so accurate. Princess for the Day to recluse stomping around the woods with a weapon. Super relatable.
Isn't that how everyone goes hiking? It's the classic LL Bean Machete 'n' Matcha combo!
We learned, being a threat keeps people away. That's just for her to not needing to use it.
Those two kids are seemingly messed up. Way too thin and never smile. And hiking with a machete in that outfit?
I was thinking, she carried that to protect herself from Kutcher.
Load More Replies...Is there something wrong with Ed Sheeran? I think his music is pretty good, not my favorite musician, but still good
Load More Replies...I just realized that I haven’t heard an Ed Sheeran song since I watched the second Hobbit movie. And I’m ok with that as it isn’t my preferred style of music.
Pretty sure I burnt this exact cd on Napster. Sounded like s**t and took the whole weekend to download, and I cracked it at my mum because she made a phonecall in the middle of a song and the dial up for cut off, and I had to start it again
YES AHH. "MOOOOM IM USING THE MODEMMMM!" XD But I remember my bff used to burn CDs like this for me, and cassette mixtapes before that. He is/was gay, but we still made mixtapes for each other XD
Load More Replies...The whole CD is...worst soundtrack of the 90s.
Load More Replies...I have several tool mix CDs that were burned directly from Napster and also reside in my car!
Load More Replies...Yep, just not in 1999. And they'd definitely take note than 9 songs.
Load More Replies...At least you didn't need a pencil to fix it every once in a while. -- 80s kid.
Dvd-r were available in 1997 I have proof I made a ton of them and burnt all the Cheech and Chong DVDs during this time of liffe
And what else did you burn while you were waiting? /s
Load More Replies...Great! Now I got Mambo f*****g #5 stuck in my head. Why couldn't this lame-o like Korn, Tool, Godsmack, Bif Naked. Ya know this is how it should go. 9 songs? Alrighty 1. 'Living Dead Girl' - Rob Zombie / 2. 'Moon Baby' - Godsmack / 3. 'Sober' - Tool / 4. 'Freak On a Leash' - Korn / 5. 'Rich and Filthy' - Bif Naked / 6. 'My God' - Pennywise / 7. 'One' - Metallica / 8. 'Who We Are' - Bad Religion / 9. 'The Trick is to Keep Breathing' - Garbage I could add a ton more.
Of course, if this were an 80s thread, that would be a cassette tape!
Just a few days ago, I watched the episode with his cousin Arnie ... that weirdo from the countryside who collects lint and loves to read ingredients ... oh my, I died laughing.
That's the one when Lila falls for Arnold's weird cousin, right?
Load More Replies...When the salad bar was also a taco bar...and don't forget the tables that looked like newspapers.
I would love to go to Shoney's and grab a huge salad from the salad bar...
Load More Replies...They did have these in Florida. And you did bake. I remember the 'to go' salad bar in the 80s was $0.99. Yes, 99cents. You didn't have to close the lid on the container, and you could still eat it in the restaurant, just no seconds. Tons of food! Meximelts at Taco Bell were 99cents, too. 15 mins of minimum wage at the time or $1.96 today!
They didn't have these in Florida... if they did, I would have been baked!
cool trade ;) and both worth alot a signed ball and a sign computer
ThisWontDestroyYourComputer.mp3.exe (the .exe being hidden by default thanks to Microsoft)
If you were on Limewire and didn't have "hide extensions for known file types" unticked then that's 100% on you. Even allowing for that if you saw the exe icon and not the music one and still double clicked it, totally on you.
Load More Replies...i don't know if i was born under a lucky moon or if cthulhu just chose to smile on me, but i downloaded literally hundreds of songs on limewire in the mid '90s and never once got a virus. i also downloaded a fuckton of songs from napster before i got scared the FBI would show up and arrest me. ... but the weirdest thing of all is, somehow, all those songs ended up in my apple music and i have no idea how that happened. (i still have them on this computer as i type this.) any IT/computer geniuses out there have any insight? cuz i'm genuinely baffled.
iTunes used to have a function, I think, that tried to match up MP3 files on your computer to files available on iTunes, so maybe that's what happened here? Or maybe I'm just making c**p up 😅
Load More Replies...I feel dirty just looking at that lime. Does anyone know if you could get a virus from the ghost of a program?
Time to spend the rest of your life in the campus library to avoid telling your dad you ruined the bajillion dollar new computer they got you for college (that was the price then)
I might don't have the bone density, but I still have the spirit to try.

Since I predate ALL of that, when I take a coffee break, I usually need a splint (75)
I drank my milk! I've got good bones! (paid for by the dairy industry to increase milk and cheese sales)
I think I am further back than these references....But I DO have osteoporosis!
Back in the 90's, I was on an airline flight across the aisle from a teenage girl who was absolutely coming unglued. I quietly asked the flight attendant if she was OK, and the said "the guys in front of you are 98 degrees." I said, "98° of what?"
I just have to say, when I read coming unglued, I instantly started singing She Hates Me by Puddle of Mud lol
Load More Replies...Looking back on 90s boy bands I still cannot fathom how incredibly cheesy they were.
Big DB. I bought the Newlyweds on DVD during the pandemic to try and relive some of my early 20s and I had no idea how big of a tool he was. Got the Osbornes Uncensored DVD and that was pure enjoyment.
I have The Osbournes season 1... tried to rewatch The Simple Life and that was just brain torture
Load More Replies...The suspense! Great, now I have another item to add to my constantly check for updates list under mh370, Amelia Earhart, UFOs, the doomsday clock, sky trumpets, gravitational anomalies…

That's Steve Ritchie. He did Mortal Kombat II in 1993 and Mortal Kombat 3 (and its updates) in 1995. He also holds the record for best pinball designer in pinball history! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ritchie_(pinball_designer)

I was at a food industry trade show this past summer - they are back. The Rep gave me 3 boxes!
Just found em at Walmart. $1.24 for a 5 pack. "Fruit Loops edible breakfast straws"
Load More Replies...Not a bad idea. You sip the drink and then eat the straw. No waste that way.
Yes yes yes. Last longer than the soggy thing mcdonalds hand out. Paper wrapped with paper?
I'm sure somewhere in Nana's house a box still exists. Those things have a shelf life of eternity.
Oh my goodness, I thought the one on the left was testicles. Until I saw the eyes she's holding.

Load More Replies...I bought these on dvd for my older kids who are now 18&19, they loved it! Must get the younger two to give it a try
Ok, here they pop again in a nostalgia list... Those are still largely available.
They were great, but if I saved my pocket money for a couple more weeks, I could buy the balsa wood ones with the elastic band powered prop. :D
AHH YES. When I was a wee kid, my pediatric dentist would give you wooden tokens after each visit/checkup. They had a huge selection of "prizes" you could choose from if you saved up enough tokens over time. The balsa wood planes were the only things I wanted. NGL, I have zero fear/anxiety about dentists/having my teeth worked on (unlike my mom, my sister, my boyfriend, and apparently literally everyone else I know, lol) and I honestly wonder if it's because I had a fabulous pediatric dentist who knew exactly how to win over kids XD
Load More Replies...I preferred the ones which where propelled by a twisted rubber band.
those were the best I think they were balsa wood with emblem's painted on them if I'm not mistaken
Load More Replies...These were the worst gliders ever, but I must have owned five hundred of them over the years. With ever one I thought "This one is gonna be awesome!" but the only thing that crashed harder and faster were my hopes that it would fly. "Power prop" indeed...
Agreed. I still loved them despite their lifespan being, on average, like 5 minutes. did you ever try to desperately repair the broken/shattered bits with Elmer's glue and tape? XD
Load More Replies...I went last Saturday with my husband to an arcade and with some of my tickets I bought one out of nostalgia and could not be happier. Flew it around in the backyard like a complete weirdo, luckily my husband loves me and played along.
Saw somone who made a real bigone for redbull flutag. Its plastic prop fell off but it won

I'm 40 so change the skinny jeans for jncos and yes!! I haven't left the emo stage yet, just have more money for the studded clothes 😂
Load More Replies...Hey now, let's be fair. I'm a boomer / never was an emo and I want to hiss at a Hollister. Those A-holes always pumped their obnoxious perfume into main walkway and sometimes it was so strong it kind of triggered my allergies. I learned to hold my breath through the thickest part right by the door.

Load More Replies...This was more popular in the 2000s and definitely this is accurate af lol
Yea but it's about the nostalgia we (late gen X/early millenial) feel for that period of time when we think of doing that. Bc most of us didn't keep using those pencils as we got older. Sure didnt keep chewing on them, dental bills and our fragile old ppl teef. Anyway nostalgia is powerful.

Load More Replies...I stopped watching this when a finalist video was a tiny dog dressed in a costume was being shacken like a toy by their other dog who eighter didnt recognise the first dog or didnt like it. It was so aggressive and not funny at all. That poor poch, with its whole family laughing at its distress. Sheit program because of sheity moraly deprived producers,.
To this day I get upset sometimes over the 3 videos they choose, and most times the worst of the bad ones win. Who are these people who picks them out??
Yeah, I still watch it and can't figure out how they come up with the winners. So many better ones than the ones they choose.
Load More Replies...I got nightmares from the porta potties tipping over..til this day still have never used one. I used to cry at night thinking a big porta potty would come out of my floor and suck my stuffed animals into it. Actually yesterday I was watching episode 2 of Salute Your Shorts with Zeke the Plumber and remembered how badly he scared me and I think the second part of my nightmares were bred from the scene when he plunged Harry the Hippo out of the toilet.
I was convinced that people only voted for ones with babies because the family could use money so it was a pity vote. Now I'm thinking they were all parents who could actually find humorin a video with babies doing next to nothing. That's what my mom says anyway, while she's laughing at my nephew whose mashing remote control buttons.
Never could I understand that. Remember the one with Daisy Fuentes and Dave Coulet?
It was John Fugelsang, but Dave Coulet hosted Americas Funniest People. Which was like watching only Mildly funny people tell jokes and do mildly amusing party tricks. It was horrible.

The more I say "Dankey Kang" in my head, the more my laugh inside my head becomes more audible.
it is/was to turn on the analog fnction of the sticks. Only worked on some games. Without analog, the sticks register the direction you input digitally. So either "on" or "off". With the analog function, it detects how far you push the stick. Can be useful in flight based game for example, where you want to be able to control more precisly what you do.
