50 Posts From ‘80s-90s Babies Only’ That Prove Life Was A Lot Simpler 30 Years Ago

Cool runnings!

My mom throw all my cassettes I recorded so many songs from radio and also recorded myself like a diary. Everything’s gone😔

I'm a teenager and people still peel glue off their hands

We were never bored. Always something weird stuff to do. Can’t remember I was bored at all like kids nowadays.

Obligatory what was your favourite card set poll. Mine was the castle.

The real fun is, about ten years ago my then 13 year old boy came to show me some cool music video he had found on Youtube. It was from a certain mister Hammer, who claimed you could not touch this.

Pencil might help if it’s not stucked😄

123 in the UK

Artax!! Fight against the sadness, Artax!!

I can still remember the taste

The Jetsons.

I want this one!!

"Not the Momma." What Baby called Dad in Dinosaurs.

Isn't it still this way? I sometimes see teenager hanging out in the park when we visit the playground.

we still have these in Turkiye..in fancier shops, fancier shapes and fancier prices!they all taste the same though

They have these at the cinema in the UK and they're about £15 for 2 jelly worms and a bon bon.

Oh yeah! Gimme that Brach's bag.

Even more than this, I miss penny candy...

Woolworths in the UK. When we still had Woolworths.

Every grocery store in Sweden has this. Im lucky!

Winco's bulk section is the sh@t.

Oooohhhh. My mom caught me stealing a piece of candy from that bad boy when I was little. She made me apologize to the store manager...who put the fear of God into me about the police and jail and handcuffs. I was five.

My Great Auntie worked at Brach's in Chicago in the 1960's. Man did we get the candy via my Grandmother, and I'm still working on fixing my teeth 60 years later!

I loved this !!! Every week when we ventured off of our horse farm to go to the grocery store I was able to choose what I wanted. The three color/flavored coconuts were my absolute favorite. I would nibble on them so they would last.

I remember getting this candy for Halloween! Loved the caramels; hated the hard candy. Now the caramel gets stuck in my bridge work (still love the taste, though), and the hard candy is great for a scratchy throat....

Still have it at our local Winco.

Winco Foods in America.

I always like the ones in the far right corner. White jelly nougets.

Then we go to the dentist!

I never ever had it

I miss this. There's nothing like having five pounds of Milk Maid caramels, Neopolitan candy and Abra-Cabubble all to yourself.

Does anyone remember the candy counter at Sears? That was so cool!

This was available in France until just recently.

You can still get this in the UK too 😊

Desegregation grooming for a yummier future.

I think I was the only kid that liked the Neapolitan ... the coconut pink, white, and chocolate

had one in the grocery store called Bettendorf's, now called Schnucks!

My memory of those is as a life lesson from my mom. When I was about 4, we were shopping and I picked out one of the candies and ate it. My mom saw me, asked if I bought that, then took me to the store manager and made me apologize and give him a nickel. I still think of that when I see people eating or drinking things in the grocery store I know they have no intention of paying for.

I think my favorite were the root beer barrels

Woolworths demise in the UK was down to no-one paying for pick-a-mix

I am so sure they used to have these at K Mart in NZ

😅

Newest movie dropped. All 20 remtal spots EMPTY!

Cowabunga!

And a nice C3 Corvette in the back. My favourite generation when talking about the design. A Chevrolet Corvette L88 from 1968 would be my choice if money wasn't an issue.

By the power of Grayskull!

This really took me back to my silly putty days...

Every house had at least one

What is this? Never seen in Norway.

Me, too. Getting the "non-smoking" section in a restaurant, only to be seated by the barrier and choking on smoke. Strange how the cigarette smoke didn't understand which section to stay in! 🤪😂

I heard he was a hot billiards player

You can still buy them

I’d wear the hell out of that yellow one today if I could find it

Back when Pizza Hut only served personal pan pizzas at lunch time.

I can hear this picture and it's super satisfying.

Yeah every day! Also same song more than one time if it was a song I really loved! I miss those times.
