Technically, Yes. By Ripping The Paper Away

there was 1 brand of erasable pen that actually worked and we were allowed to use it starting in 5th grade
Ask any ’90s kid, and they’ll tell you the decade was pure magic. But what exactly made it so memorable? From cultural moments to technological firsts, the ’90s were packed with trends and experiences that shaped a generation.
Let’s talk TV because in the ’90s, it was everything. Shows like “Friends,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” and “Saved by the Bell” became weekly rituals. Unlike today’s binge culture, you had to wait an entire week for the next episode. And who could forget waking up early on Saturdays for cartoons like “Rugrats” and “Animaniacs?”

But imagine the stress the puppies would be going through every day, being handled by excited young children.
The music scene was just as iconic. Pop stars like Britney Spears and Spice Girls ruled the charts, while Nirvana and Pearl Jam gave grunge its moment. Boy bands like NSYNC and Backstreet Boys became household names, and MTV was actually all about music back then.

What A Year For Movies!
Let’s not forget the movies. Disney’s “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” were instant classics, while “Jurassic Park” gave us dinosaurs like never before. And then there was “Titanic,” the epic romance that had everyone crying (and singing “My Heart Will Go On” on repeat).

Idk why now, but I recall trying to make the bunny go faster than the turtle. (This was when I was really, really young, ok.)

You Never Forget That Pain!
When it came to fashion, the ’90s didn’t hold back. Think chokers, scrunchies, windbreakers, and baggy jeans. It was a decade where you could mix plaid with neon, and nobody would blink an eye.

Sports legends defined the ’90s too. Michael Jordan wasn’t just a player; he was a global icon. Serena and Venus Williams started making waves in tennis, and the Olympics were full of unforgettable moments that inspired a generation.

I Got A Flip Phone And I Still Can
Boris Long-Johnson 5 months ago
You still can if you try hard enough - although it’s more a once per device thing now. “Everyone gets one”.
The internet as we know it began in the ’90s. Sure, it was slow, hello, dial-up tone but it was revolutionary. AOL chat rooms, MSN Messenger, and those first shaky webcam calls were thrilling innovations. It was the start of the digital age we can’t live without today.
The ’90s had a unique vibe, blending simplicity with innovation. Families spent time together watching VHS tapes or playing board games, and life moved at a pace that allowed for real connection. It was a time of discovery, experimentation, and a lot of heart.

Ah, but Splinter started off as human. He became rat-like because the ooze transforms creatures to be more like whatever they spent most of their time with, and Splinter was living in the sewer with rats. The Turtles were turtles who spent their time with a human, so they became more human-like.

The Ninja Turtles work the same way as ancient mythology. The stories are told and re-told over and over again and there are many different versions.

A Small Scottish Games Company In 1997 Working On A Game Called ‘Grand Theft Auto’… Not Sure It Ever Took Off Though?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 5 months ago
I remember playing the game and my dad walked by while I was playing. He watched me run over several pedestrians while fleeing from police pursuit. He was silent for a few moments, and then said, "Crystal, you know you can't do that kind of stuff in real life, right?" I replied, "Yes, Dad," XD My dad also answered all the "age test" questions for me in the original Leisure Suit Larry games so I could play on the "raunchiest" setting, so... my dad was pretty cool.

Mortal Kombat 4 Arcade Machine In 1997
LakotaWolf (she/her) 5 months ago
We had an arcade near my house called Nickel Nickel, because that's what it cost to play the games - a nickel. I used to ride my bike there during the summers during my teenage years and basically spend ALL day there. I got really good at quite a few of the games - for example Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs. Capcom, K!ller Instinct, Crazy Taxi, and this one weird game where you drive around in a Jeep and lasso animals called "Jambo! Safari" XD I was definitely the odd one out there most of the time (especially in that era) because I was a girl - it was less socially acceptable for girls to play video games back then. I definitely do not have the reflexes and reaction time I used to have back then XD

I live in the US and never tasted proper UK chocolate until my sister joined a singing/dancing group that went on tour to the UK. She brought home some Cadbury, Aero, and Galaxy bars. My mind was blown. I had never had better chocolate in my life. We have some nice candies here in the US, but our chocolate doesn't hold a candle to British chocolate.
