If you remember slap bracelets, Tamagotchis, scrunchies and Solitaire, there's a good chance that you grew up in the 90s.

What a time to be alive... The golden era before TikTok trends, viral tweets, meme culture and WhatsApp groups. We lived through awkward school photos, dial-up internet, Windows 95 start-up sounds, questionable fashion choices and old school telephones.

There's no doubt 1990s was great but it was also gloriously weird. And the daily experiences of kids from back then have somehow become comedy gold for the kids of today. Often in the form of hilarious memes that perfectly capture the chaotic, colorful spirit of decade.

Many can be found on an Instagram account called 90sKidz90s. The account has over 282,000 followers and markets itself as "for everyone who still dreams about being on Legends of the Hidden Temple." Bored Panda has put together a list of the best to remind you that while the decade is long gone, its memory lives on forever.

    My grandma had actual cookies in hers. To this day eating a few of those cookies with some tea and condensed milk when I visited her is the most calming perfect memory ever. My other granny, aunts, and my mom used them as sewing kits though. As it should be.

    I tried hose water last summer - because I had a new hose. It still tastes the same and was mildly enjoyable, like a nondescript cookie you haven't tasted since childhood.

    I never read any of these but a girl I dated who had a lot of religious guilt had tons of them, plus this book called "you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube" which, if i remember correctly, was basically a book s**t shaming every girl ever who was sexually active while being raised Christian. Amongst other shaming. Have to read it again to be sure but at the time I remember thinking that book was just f****d. *I never read the whole thing and definitely won't revisit it. But I'm pretty sure it was fucky regardless.

    My mom forced me into acting when I was a kid (living her dreams vicariously AND she wanted me to make a ton of money for her) and she used to schlep me to acting classes in Los Angeles several times a week. Usually in the classes we would practice a script or monologue while the teacher recorded us, then at the end of the class we'd watch our own recording while the teacher critiqued us. I HATED watching myself for some reason, and I eventually developed this hatred/disgust of hearing my own voice that persists to this day XD I cannot STAND hearing my own voice. I'd probably have smashed this toy if anyone had given it to me XD

He stopped and watched as I stole a car, ran over a couple of pedestrians, and then started speeding around the city trying to evade the police.

Once had a chance but passed on buying the bug cause some idiot painted it with SS logos and skulls and i couldn't fathom driving a n**i themed car even if it was just home to spray paint it. Nowadays the og Beatles are so expensive. I regret not buying it, but also still wonder what idiot had painted it like that.
