I bought Harper one of those kitty surprise stuffed animals for Christmas because I had one as a kid. I couldn't wait for her to open it so I could see how many kittens were in there! There were two girls and a boy

You can usually still find these at bike stores. They're handy for keeping your pant leg clear of your chain.

I had to look up Clearly Canadian. Anyone remember Surge? We named a soccer team after it one year. And made a banner. Coolest banner ever.

Jelly bracelets, and the ones with glittery water in them.

Slouchy socks or legwarmers over your stirrup pants.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album.

A-Team (I pity the fool who don't like the A-Team)

The Challenger exploding.

I still get tears in my eyes when I see video of that.  Our class was watching it live on tv.

stringy813 said:

What were your first CD (that would be compact disc) purchases?

I clearly remember that mine were Ace of Base, Gin Blossoms, and Live (which my mom wasn't happy about because it had an explicit lyric warning on it).

I can't believe they are pretty much obsolete now.

Vitamin C

bumpuser9353653

And I'll just leave you with this gem

My first CDs were Ace of Base and Days of the New. Before that, I nearly wore out my older brother's Paula Abdul tape.

LA Gear sneakers.  With the two sets of laces.  The coolest.
