So for you 90s and early 2000s kids you'll recognize a lot of this stuff. This is a thread of things we did\used as kids (like old games everyone remembers or toys) something well look at and say "Oh THOSE. I remember those. Remember these dollar store toys ? Here's a few i can think of (also a "few" because I'm feeling lazy) You'd press the button and iit'd make a gust of air tossing the ring up. Something to do when your super bored. Or.. Sillybanz! Little bracelets shaped as animals or things. I wore those all the time when I was little Pokemon cards. *still has boxes of them* So what things are nostalgic to you?

I hated sillybanz. I thought they were the most ridiculous thing ever and saw absolutely no point to them-- they were just funny shapes rubber bands.
Here's some nostalgia for y'all fellow 90's kids: Snap bracelets Paper Fortune Tellers everywhere Cassette Tapes + Pencils = Rewind VCR/VHS When CD players came out and you were considered hip if you had one Yu-Gi-Oh cards When flip-phones first became common (Razor phone = ultimate cool kid) Blowing on game cartridges to "get dust out" Blockbusters and Papa Johns right next to each other Renting VHS tapes from Blockbusters (and being required to rewind before returning) original version of Super Smash Bros for N64 Ocarina of Time was considered the best graphics at its time (and for years after) When the DSL Gameboy came out Beyblades Sock 'Em Boppers "A Land Before Time" was every kid's favorite movie Pens with the different-color tips that you traded out (but if you lost the cap it became useless) Book fairs koosh balls (lbr everyone had one) Nickelodeon's slime dump dull pencils + old hand-crank sharpener on wall = bruised knuckles Zamboomafoo, Zoomba, Cyberchase, Between the Lions, Dragon Tales Powerpuff Girls, Doug, Hey Arnold!, Chalk Zone, The Amanda Show, Kim Possible, Rugrats, Jackie Chan, Flintstones, Ed Edd & Eddy, Dexter's Labratory, Scooby-Doo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Richard Scarry & Eric Carle books Tamagotchi Hungry Hungry Hippos, Slides & Ladders, Splash, Mouse Trap Bop It! Creepy Critters (thing where you put rubber-like liquid in molds, bake it in a special oven, to make insects/bugs) Easy Bake Oven Beanie Babies...everywhere... This carpet i.imgur.com/JtlgUkW.jpg Original Hotwheels sets that weird skull toy (it was the size of your fist and when you opened it up it had this creepy laboratory in it??)

Moonsand Those little plastic beads you placed on a pattern, then ironed to make them melt together in a shape Fruit-roll ups with "tongue tattoos" Etch-a-Sketches (everyone had one but nobody knew the skill) Transformers Cabbage Patch Kids Kinects Silly putty Butterfly clips (I still have some) Skip It (placed the ring around your ankle and did a weird jump-rope-esque thing) Poppers (hollow, rubber half-spheres that you turned inside out, placed on a surface, and waited to "pop" up in the air) "Sea Monkeys" Floam Moon shoes Spice Girls & Backstreet Boys Goosebumps & Nancy Drew Nokias "Then why don't you MARRY IT! Hhahaha!" The teacher pulling the TV into the classroom, only to say "it's for the next class" Instead of looking for wifi in a restaurant/store, you'd look for candy machines & fake tattoo dispensers when Happy Meal toys were actually fun You remember when Kids Bop 1-10 were announced pushpops We didn't have Netflix or YouTube to binge watch shows-- if we wanted to watch from the beginning, we had to rent it or just hope a re-run of the old episodes play soon...in order... Recording systems on the TV weren't widespread LEGOs didn't cost $50 for a 30-minute set Paperclip strategy Spy Kids Oregon Trail, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Sims, Veggie Tales, Leapfrog Learning Pad, Space Pinball

Polly Pockets were my life as a kid! (Though I always called them Polly Dolls.) I still have a huge collection that my siblings like to play with. Same with LPS.
For me a huge nostalgia thing is Webkinz. I got into Webkinz at the same time I got into Warriors, so I bought all the cat ones I could and gave them warrior names. I even organized a clan with all my stuffed cats, and I made up Warriors stories with my sister. XD I even taught her how to fight like a cat, based off the training sessions in the series.
Really, Warriors is a huge nostalgic thing for me, along with a bunch of other books I adored as a kid.
Yeah, VHS is very nostalgic for me, since I didn't have TV as a child so all I watched were movies, and they were all on VHS. I hated DVDs (still kinda do) because of how easy they are to scratch (in a family with young kids that's a big deal). I was so upset when the library got rid of their VHS collection. We actually still have a ton of older movies in VHS format.
Anyone remember those VHS tape re-winders? We used to have one of those.
I'm a bit too young to be a 90s kid, but I still recognize a lot of these.

I always loved getting the little Sticky Hands that you get in the machines at a store. I loved playing with those. Playing Risk with my brothers Playing Runescape for hours Playing Super Nintendo games like Kirby's Dream Land 3, Super Punch-Out, Super Mario Land, Megaman X Watching Saturday morning cartoons like Sonic X, Kirby: Right Back at Ya, Yu-gi-oh, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Doing Roleplays with my brothers that we called "Tracks" because we used these little yellow puzzle piece tracks that looks similar to this: and we'd use hot wheels to drive around the tracks and we'd mix it with some roleplaying as our OC's that we created xD That was fun. Begging my dad to see Madagascar because that was the cool movie at the time. Clubpenguin Pokemon Mystery Dungeon video games Old DOS games like Jetpack, Hugo, Crystal Caves, Family Feud

Some of this stuff is more 2005-esque than earlier so I can't relate as much to those (ayo 90's kid)
We still have a box of VHs tapes in the attic: Black Cauldron, The Page Master, Popeye classics, etc

ayeaye, times change. 2005 used to be considered more middle 2000s-- guess that was a decade ago.

The feel when I can relate to all of those wether they were said by 90s kids or 2001+ kids, because I'm from the middle. 2000 rocks XD~!
And Jacky, that first thing you showed, for me as a kid it was filled with water and glitter XD
And omg I still have SillyBanz Me and a friend I invited over were looking through my messy room, and found an old bag of Tinker Bell and Spongebob Sillybanz X3

That is awesome.. remember all the decent songs back then before the music became terrible? Those were the great times for music.. *sighs*

No offense, but I think the quality/type of music then was the same as it is now. I think it's just perception and taste of it that has grown up with your mind.

How has no one here mentioned neopets? Man I've tried getting back into that but it just isn't the same now. "Freemium" general there. As for old games I'm just going to drop a link to my photobucket and let you enjoy a little taste of my secret hoard. s1154.photobucket.com/user/piplup1036/library/Game%20Collection%20Pics?sort=9&page=1How about some classic nick ads for my favorite show on the network? Just realized it's been at least 6+ years seance I've watched anything on cable t.v.

I never got into neopets. Thought it was dumb.
I'm envious of that hoard.

That's not even all of it, not to mention some of those pics are a few years old. Really should take some pics of the current setup for the album.

My family never branched out much in terms of games. We mostly just found half a dozen franchises we liked and stuck with them (Zelda, Mario Bros, Sonic, etc)
We did have a lot of consoles, though. Seven gameboy colors, a gameboy advance, gameboy micro, three N64's, two Wii's, two Gamecubes, a Wii U, a PS4, xBox360, and way long ago before I was born a SNES (it broke before my time).

Its funny looking at all these things and realizing, as a 90s (and probably most of 2000s) kid we were the last generations that knew how to have fun without phones or ipads/tablets (of course we had gaming stystems Tv's and such but we weren't so deeply rooted in tectnolgly as we are today, phones weren't even that huge (not to the point where children had them) until 2009-2012 (from what I can remember)
