Sometimes when you are just going about your day, you will encounter a particular sound, visual, or smell that sends you flying back to simpler times. These experiences, among others, are just classic examples of nostalgia, that hard-to-put-your-finger-on feeling of longing for something from the past. 

The “No Context Nostalgia” Instagram page shares images of things that have a solid chance of unlocking some childhood memories. So get comfortable, strap in for a blast from the past as you scroll through, and be sure to upvote your favorite examples. We got in touch with the page’s admins to learn more.

    Wait! Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and Big Bird in the same picture? No way you could do this today. The people who own those properties would never work together.

    My mom would give me a glass of strawberry milk every year for my birthday. It was delicious! As an adult at the grocery store, I saw this and bought some for old times' sake. It tasted horrible. So I called Mom and asked what she used to make my strawberry milk. She answered, "food coloring".

    One of those toys which was a 5 minute wonder. It took five minutes to set up perfectly, and then wonder what you're supposed to do with it after that. "right here it goes straight in the hoop, just keep doing that until you're bored".

    I remember these. Never had one because I thought it was weird to have the same song blaring in my mouth every morning when I brush my teeth. I can see how this could be beneficial for maybe younger kids, 4-8ish, that parents have trouble getting them to actually brush their teeth. Funny how the length of the song is exactly the same as the recommended time one should brush their teeth for.
