vflux33

@eggplantface I had a cabbage patch doll! AND I still have hundreds and hundreds of original garbage pail kid cards along with the garbage pail kids movie on VHS.

@icecubeinthedesert
Not only did I love 10 Things, I watched it a few months ago and it holds up! Do it everyone!

50Wife

@icecubeinthedesert I used to read goosebumps! 

amberruka

@icecubeinthedesert BSC was the best! I thought they sounded like 30 year old's and was jealous (such sophistication for 12!). But the logistics were always a bit off: how could they have school and all these babysitting jobs yet *magically* almost always be free every M, W, F from 5:30-6:00 for meetings?! 

eggplantface

@vflux33 I loved Garbage Pail Kids too! They were only sold in my town in this antique store. Totally random.

@icecubeinthedesert blue's clues was actually a little bit later than me, by the time it was popular I was like in elementary school I think. I loved Face on Nick Jr though. When I was really little it was all about Barney...Shining Station.

I read goosebumps and fear street, which was a spin off of goosebumps.

icecubeinthedesert

@charlestonchew, well I guess that's my FFFC. I loved blue's clues, and I was WAY to old for it. 

lund

@icecubeinthedesert OMG POGS. Totally forgot about those. I had the best slammer. 

pebbledam

I did love me some BSC! I also really loved Bridge to Terabithia and Hatchet (and other Gary Paulsen books)!

Me too! I would scare the shit out of myself lol. 

Also I was born in 86. Yes, to basically all of these things. I definitely held onto my love of boy bands a little too long

Rollerblades and my Gameboy were also the best things ever! I also loved to watch gameshows...give me some Supermarket Sweep!

Dumbgurl04  ***Lurking*** But just wanted to let you know, you can still find Dunkaroos online occasionally. My sister bought me some for my birthday last year. 

They aren't cheap, but could give you a nostalgic sweet treat.

Am I the only one who reenacted Power Rangers in the playground in elementary school?

pebbledam

@icecubeinthedesert - THAT WAS MY FAVORITE THING TO DO AT THE PLAYGROUND! Which power ranger did you want to be??

hedgepig

How about those Tower of Sour candy tube that turned your mouth/teeth all sorts of unnatural colors?

TV shows: Sonic the Hedgehog! Land of the Lost! Gargoyles!

Later on (early 2000s): VH1 Top 20 Countdown, ER, X-Files, Ally McBeal. Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20.
FFFC (?) I listen to the 90s Pandora station regularly.

MH's THING is collecting nostalgic shit from the 80s - 2000s, so we have a sizeable VHS collection (around 800), which means we get to revisit all this stuff regularly. SO MANY GOOD MOVIES. Andplusalso all the video games, Magic the Gathering, Soap shoes... 
....
Oh god, I hope we never have to move.

icecubeinthedesert

@pebbledam, I totally wanted to be the yellow ranger.

shortstack930

@icecubeinthedesert yesss to BSC! I loved Mary Anne and Logan. I also read Goosebumps and Animorphs. 

WillRunForWine21

How about the original American gladiators and saved by the Bell? Goodness I had a crush on Mark Paul Gooselar

purplg8r

@WillRunForWine21 I loved Saved by the Bell!  I had pics of Mark Paul Gosselaar and Devon Sawa (from Casper) all over my walls!

hedgepig

@shortstack930 Yes to Animorphs, which reminds me of my favorite thing: The Secret World of Alex Mack!

Stargazer1lily

@purplg8r I also had Devon Sawa and Jonathan taylor thomas posters lol

BertieMeetsGertie

@WillRunForWine21 lol. The first thing I did when I got off the bus was run home and turn on saved by the bell! 

WillRunForWine21

@purplg8r sometimes I think we are the same person. Devon Sawa was my other crush as well!!! 
Which reminds me... how about the movie little giants? Or 3 ninjas? Cool runnings?

eggplantface

@icecubeinthedesert I loved Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (the original) but I was 15... yeah. I had dirty thoughts about the red and green rangers. 

@WillRunForWine21 Saved by the Bell was and is one of my favorite shows. The other day H said he was excited and I, of course, busted out the breakdown speech from "Jessie's Song" and he looked at me like I was nuts. Who did I marry??

JennyColada

This just came up on my feed: https://thenickbox.com/

@WillRunForWine21 I loved Little Giants!  

amberruka

Ladies....y'all know there's a bunch of Saved by the Bell episodes on Hulu, right?! I'm considering harking back to the famous Jessie episode this afternoon.....

ETA: @leekat14 I lived on a dirt road with no other kids so I read. A LOT. Like, sometimes 4-5 hours a day. So when I submitted my Book-It log (which my mom signed off on since I was legit), my teachers never believed me. And I didn't get my damn pizza. Not that I'm still bitter about that or anything....hee hee...
