50 Nostalgic Posts That Instantly Teleport You To The Good Old 1990s (New Pics)

Stick a "Bobby pin" into a wall socket; oh yea it will light your world; never tried that again either, LOL.

Geez, I was literally thinking this today...

And she could cook too!

I still do

As a kid in the 80s I always thought he was handsome

Not sure why the world isn't a Richard scary book complete with the word above each object

I have a few of those as wall art, I love maps.

41KB/Sec? You are so spolied.

That was the best!

Yep.

Yep, my first one was the Nokia 3210

Scotland. Village library, checked out books like this in the 90s. Fact.

Used to deliver local freight using this tech.

Or 1976.

Your dentist knows..

This is a timeless and universal thing. It isn't even restricted to any age group. As long as kids/people are required to take turns reading aloud, they will not listen to what KS being read so they can practice. When I was teaching, I never went around the room, but a!ways asked for volunteers. There was always one who just kept reading and wouldn't give anyone else a chance.

The one time I left it in, someone stole it.

And endlessly fiddling with the options/screensavers in After Dark! XD (I still miss you, Flying Toasters.)

Yep! My mom cut away my ex-husband's face and just left mine in the frame.

Still do

The problem here is that this song came out in 1977. An awesome, amazing rock anthem that still resonates today, but hardly '90's kids' related. Hell, those kids weren't even born when this was released!

Had the walls, never got spanked. Not that I didn't deserve it.

Tonya told her stupid husband to "get the fancy cardigan I need for Lillehammer" not "hit Nancy Kerrigan in the knee with a little hammer." It was all a misunderstanding, I swear!

The way Google Maps acts sometimes, i need to go back to paper directions

Parts inside the tv would make cracking sounds randomly as they expanded or contracted with room temperature changes. This happened especially at night when they had been powered off for a while and was most noticeable when your parents had left you home by yourself.

"Hello, kiddies! So glad you could join me!"

Chapmans still does

I ruined at least three of my parents computers thanks to that damn site!!!

Cat is on Threads

Docs but otherwise yes. Now, 35 years later its crocs. My poor tired feet.

iPod, filled with music that you own, until YOU choose to remove it. iPhone....filled with apps that give you access to music you don't own, until THEY choose to remove it.

I almost want to put these on my wheelchair spokes

I died a little inside when the "oldies" station in my area (KRTH), which used to play "hits of the 50s, 60s, and 70s" when I was growing up in the 80s, to "hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s". I think now they include the 90s in their repertoire. The fact that music from the decade I was born in is considered "oldies" is just.... depressing XD

In a (probably) 99 corolla. Base model didn't have a cd player. Put 230k on mine and sold it 3 years ago. It is still in action, I saw it a couple weeks ago lol.

Adorable. Should do a 30 year later pic

That kid is not crying because he's afraid of losing a leg. He's crying because he's heard that joke 1,000 times already and is sick of his dad's c**p.

I had a mad crush not on Hercules but on his friend Iolaus. For some reason I thought that actor was cuter XD And I REALLY loved Xena as a teenage girl. Didn't have many "strong/powerful" female action heroes in those days.

I.. have that tiger blanket. And a wolf one from the same era XD

I used to buy 15 for £1 for my cat. She'd diligently carry them to the top of the stairs and then watch them bounce on the stairs as she dropped them one by one. Especially at 2am.

I grew up with no volume bars. Had knobs to use for the volume. Also knobs to turn the TV on and off and to adjust the tv for vertical and horizontal screen/picture.

Wow. Time travel has been perfected and it's used for door dash!!

Then there are those of us who remember having to call long distance after 7pm because it was cheaper.

I went to a rural school and some older students from the city visited and were wearing these with socks - we weren't mean, but we were just confused

Do you want to play a game, fellow kids?

Time to go home for dinner.

I go back and watch old movies or TV shows every once in a while and I am horrified when characters are "supposed" to be 18, or 20, or even 25 or so and they look like they're 40 XD I took it as a matter of course when I was a kid ("Ah, all grownups look like that. Of course.") but now that I'm 42 and I remember being 18 years old, and 20, and 25, it's absolutely insane to me XD

That's GenX stuff, why do you always confuse us with boomers?

I remember Push Pops. I know we were *supposed* to lick them to make them last longer, but I always crunched them instead XD I would crunch Jolly Ranchers too; my friends thought I was psychotic. I can't seem to lick lollipops or suck on hard candies - I've always been a cruncher XD Am I the only one?! Do most people have the restraint to lick/suck on hard candies?

"Shazam " wasn't it?

Danica McKellar??

Omg, I'm hearing that song in my head right now!!

I think back to elementary school and I realize that I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread (my mom usually bought Weber's bread, in its blue tablecloth-pattern bag) for lunch, every single school day, for probably 4 or 5 years. The jelly flavor changed (my mom would sometimes buy concord grape, or boysenberry, or blackberry) but the bread and the peanut butter (ALWAYS Jif) stayed the same. I never got tired of it. I still eat PBJs regularly to this day. Still love them. I use slightly healthier bread these days (Dave's Killer Bread), but choosy wolves choose Jif!

I miss ours. Those weird-shaped fish filets, the hushpuppies of the gods, the amazing coleslaw, the pile of weird batter-bits that were so deliciously crunchy and greasy... mmm.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a toys r us kid!

I hated going through the gaming sections with my siblings because I would be stuck waiting for them to finish playing for ages!

All of the Riddick Chronicles movies have been pretty good, IMO!

I still refer to my husband as being "the Pepsi version of signs" and tell him that I hope all of his half-cans of Diet Pepsi (and bottles of beer) are going to save us from the alien invasion one day, because right now all they are is a f*****g pain in the a*s 🤣.

It was their foil wrapped burgers that I adored.

Looks like Home Ec

Maybe some people. Paying for tv was still unrealistic for many people back then.

Dizzy isn't a woman in the book, Dizzy is a man XD but despite the movie being absolute trash, it was DELIGHTFUL trash and I loved it.

You got them because they looked cool and then realised they didn't even bounce well. One of my dogs tried eating it and it just crumbled, from memory.

No buckets...pillow cases.

And it was AWESOME! I caught a few episodes in my 20s and Courage the Cowardly Dog was amazing for my, theoretically, grownup a*s.
