What do you wish they still made?

Is there a toy, snack food or article of clothes (or anything for that matter) you had as a kid that you wish you could still get today for your child to experience? Or a tv show you wish still came on for them to see? Let the reminiscing begin!

  • @sclover92‌ They were the best weren't they?! My sister and I had bunches and would build little cities across the bedroom
  • I also wish they would bring back the old Polly Pockets and the original American Girl dolls. For TV shows, TGIF and Legends of the Hidden Temple. I wanted to be on that show so badly!

    But they make them again!  I just bought one for a friends sons birthday.  He loved it!  I almost bought one for myself too.  I picked it up at Toys 'R' Us. 

    ETA: to take @bnik .  I figured I'd better tag you so you see this and can go out and get one ;)

    Its a surprise! Team green!


  • @Roses87 -- were you born in 1987? Just curious if that's what the 87 is for. That's the only logical explanation I have for you not knowing what Fraggle Rock is, lol.

    @MiaMyPuggle -- You Can't Do That On Television always gave me the heebie jeebies for some reason. I think it was the adult character, Les Lye.

    NOOO! The next time I fill my car up or get groceries, I will be on the lookout. I'll be very sad if this is true!

  • Fraggle Rock scared me...Wasn't there something that tried to eat them??

    My brother, sisters, and I would recreate American Gladiator in my house. We are lucky no one got killed. I distinctly remember flying down the stairs in a laundry basket and my brother hanging over the entry way banister just as my mom unexpectedly walked through the front door.

  • @PHXmom2be‌ Some Wal Marts in AZ still sell Dunkaroos. They are usually down the snack/cookie aisle on the top by the other dunking snacks. I wish they were easier to find.
