You Know You Were a 90s Kid When...

So I had a special moment a few days ago. I was talking on the phone with my sister and somehow we got on the subject of Pogs...from back in the day! Well, one thing led to us reminiscing about our childhood, the 90s, and all those crazy things we used to do or watch. So, join with me in my recollection of the good ol' days and feel free to share some of your 90s memories!

You collected and played with Pogs - remember those cardboard round things with the pictures?

You carried a virtual pet around your neck - Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano was your baby, and you carried them around your neck at.all.times!

T.G.I. Friday's isn't just a restaurant chain - Each Friday you were impatiently waiting for that last school bell to ring for the weekend so you can rush home, quickly eat dinner, gather your group of friends, and watch some Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs, Step by Step and Family Matters. Now THAT was what TGIF really meant!

Boy bands were sooo in - It was hard to choose between Backstreet Boys and NSync. It was like choosing between your two best friends (whom you are both blood sisters with)

You "zig-a-zig-ahh"-ed your way to school in the morning - ...and after school, and during recess...

"Goosebumps" was not just an explanation to the bumps you get when you're cold. It was the scariest series of books...like ever...and you owned or read all of them. Forget the Twilight trilogy!

Your radio was your iPod - you would hold it in to record your favourite song on tape, so you can play it over and over again. Oh, and you had to have your Walkman with you wherever you went!

Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? - We are all still looking for her...

The Macarena was a ritual dance - a must-have song played at all dances and parties

Your go-to snack for recess was either Dunkaroos or Fruit by the Foot

You would play MASH (mansion-apartment-shack-house) to predict your future. It told me I was going to marry Justin Timberlake, live in a mansion in Jamaica, have 18 kids, and own a lovely station wagon :)

Sailor Moon and Pokemon were the best anime series around. "Gotta catch 'em all!"

You can sing the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme song in your sleep..."in West Philadelphia born and raised"

You wore stick on earrings, a different colour and shape each day to obviously match your outfit. And you just had to stick-em at the corners of your eyes

You learned more from Bill Nye the Science Guy and Miss Frizzle than you did from your science teacher.

Twilight would never exist if Buffy the Vampire Slayer was still around, and witchcraft was popular because of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
