What Were We Thinking? 34 Hilariously Awful 90s Trends We Left Behind

These were also a 60's phenomenon.

I may be the lone person who wishes these would make a comeback, except for that annoying swish-swish sound with every step. Comfy, water-resistant, and so vibrant!

Still play it

We had those in the late 60's.

The crazy thing about these was the fact that the inside of the bracelet was made of a short section of a standard tape measure.

Question: Are they lemon, pineapple, or banana flavored? I'd say lemon.

Stupidest pocket ever, nothing stayed in.

Was just talking about them today with my sister

I still have one. Never knew what they were called though.

These are so popular again in Australia. My friend makes them and sells them at markets.

There’s one dude at my school that has this. I have no idea who he is, but I will periodically see him in the hall and think “oh, there’s Frosted Tips”

I'm gonna get rich off of these in a few years!

Not cringy. I still wear them.

Del Sol ftw!

An exaggeration from '70s hippie-style. I remember wearing my mother's 3 pants, what were her favorites in '70s, therefore preserved for me to have in '90s.

Manual windows never decapitated anyone's beanie baby.

I had those who glows in the dark !

No idea, what is this.

Not cringy, still a good sun smart choice!

Errr, yeah, that went out in the 1990s, right enough. (Just don't look in my clothes cupboards).

Parle à ma main ! (Fatal Bazooka on se sait)

A USA-thing, for sure.

Mushroom!

And every American wore these and those danm huge sneakers in Europe.

I never understood, for what do you need them, especially?

If you couldn't take care of your Tamagotchi, I'm not sure if you're qualified to raise a kid /hj

These got caught in your hair so easily and I always ended up stretching the springs trying to get it out.

Lol, the other day I put my kids cap on her backwards and said "rad". She just looked at me like I was crazy.

Smells like Grunge music.

When society was still effective. Yes, I know, younger generations as gen-X, are making fun and memes about the Y2K-problem. What they really don't realize, that they are able to make fun of it, is due to very hard work of professionals on global scale, to fix this problem. And a generation later, is the same with Covid, in an other field. We never learn. Or at least, not enough.

Ball or aerosol. That's a joke by the way. Some people will get it and others won't.
