Warning: If you grew up in the ‘90s, you may experience flashbacks to crazy hairstyles and ridiculously funny clothing.
Here are 15 things you wish would come back from the 1990s from fashion trends, television shows/movies to candy:
1. Overalls
Sure, overalls are coming back into style now, but not like they did in the ‘90s. Then people would wear only one overall strap on their shoulder with one pants leg rolled up and one down.
2. Telling your future or someone else’s with a game of M.A.S.H
In case you forgot, M.A.S.H. stood for mansion, apartment, shack and house. The letters MASH would be written at the top of the sheet of paper. Then you made four different categories, the people who you wanted to marry, number of kids you wanted to have, the type of car you wanted to drive and your dream job. The only way this game would work is if you picked two things you absolutely wanted, one thing that was OK and one thing or person you would never want.
3. Pagers
If you had a pager in school you were beyond cool. This would be the closest we would ever get to texting one another.
4. Before there were ringtones …
You actually had to listen to the radio and try to record the part of the song wanted on a phone.
5. “Out of the Box”
This was one of the best television shows by far. If you still know the secret hand clap, I admire you.
6. Moody’s Point/All That
7. Music that had meaning
Groups such as NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, Destiny’s Child, TLC, MC Hammer and much more discussed topics that people could relate to, such as relationship problems to dance moves everyone wanted to try.
8. The Wonder Ball
This was a chocolate ball filled with candy-shaped toys inside.
9. Skip It
The perfect exercise toy for children without it being obvious. Once you placed this around your foot, it would count the number of times you skipped around with it.
10. Jellie shoes
The ultimate summer sandal-like shoe that made your feet sweat.
11. Lite Brite
The toy that allowed you to make a “masterpiece” with plastic-colored pegs.
12. Socker Boppers
One of the most dangerous toys out there and the only way you get away with “play fighting.”
13. Cousin Skeeter
The puppet we all know and love.
14. “Nickelodeon Slime Time”
Just about everyone dreamed of being covered with green slim when they watched this show.
15. “What’s Her Face Doll”
This doll allowed you to use your creativity through markers to draw her face.
Allow your mind to time-travel and venture back to when your only worry in the world was what was really in a wonder ball. Take the time to scavenger-hunt thrift stores for some of these items.
