“The Real Ones Know”: 30 Posts And Memes That May Make You Feel Old (New Pics)

Pfft. I had to listen to the local radio station, with updates about every 20 minutes or so. And back then, they'd risk a bus full of kids' lives in a historic blizzard with 20" of snow, 70 mph winds and -20 degree temps to get them to school. Now, it seems like a few flakes in sweater weather will cause a cancellation. Now get off my lawn!

The world needs more bright colors.

Haha, same.

I remember all the posters of Titanic, the Backstreetboys, Spice Girls...

Tasted salty as hell though...

I actually loved the taste of those things. It was a kind of wintergreen/teaberry flavor and I loved it.

And real chocolate...

I used to eat them from the container with a spoon XD

Oh wow... I had forgotten about this one.

Probably yanked them out because of lawsuits. Kid get hurt, sue the franchise owner, insurance pays. Next, insurance says get rid of them or we cancel. Out they go.

"go right ahead ma'am"

RIP Andre.

It was high school for me.

Still have that n64 😎

Magma becomes lava when it breaks through the Earth's crust.

I was poor, so I liked most school food better than the dust in the cabinets at home.

Double Dare!

My first Web Browser was Lynx. Text only. That's why there's that "Text Only Yahoo" button at the bottom. Started in 1992 and still going BTW. It's handy for extremely low bandwidth applications because it doesn't download any graphics. It's also immune to 99% of the ads out there for the same reason.

I still have glow stars. And planets.

Peak 90s, life will never get any better!

Drakkar Noir anyone?

He's right up there with Mel Blanc in terms of talent. A modern man of 1000 voices.

Those were THE BEST!!

I'm am 80s kid 😥

When the batteries were dying but not quite dead, they would randomly move and make noise for a couple seconds and then stop. Scared the c**p out of my at 3 am a few times

This is too true 😭

I'd been driving 5 years when Golden Eye came out. I bought the car in 1999, though mine is silver not atlanta blue. Not only that, but the salesman was called J. Bond. LOL

RIP Geoffrey 😭😭

Vacationed? I lived there son!

Still the best, RIP Kevin

The only different shoes weren’t allowed inside the house.

Where is the Surge?!?

Yes, I completely forgot about Robie, one of the coolest piggy banks that I can remember.

My rich friends had these.

Such a horrible movie. I was a kid and walked out. That’s how bad it was

"Hey guys! Got any Cheese?" "OOPS! Did I do That?"

In Australia it was Good Game for the older people and Good Game Spawn Point for the younger ones.

...nevermind, found it!

Double Decker Taco, nachos Bell Grande, beef gordita supreme, 7 layer burrito, tostadas... OMG so many greats they got rid of! For what? Chicken nuggets and nacho fries?? This makes me unreasonably angry 😡

Blockbuster!

I ignored that show until I was in college but then a friend showed me a couple episodes and all the hidden adult humor was hilarious.

There are many more descriptives I could use besides "wild" but BP will censor them.

Not that style but I remember ones that were built into actual headphones.

Those were such garbage. ONE minute of audio. Are you just going to listen to that same minute on loop all day?

Apart from the kid and dog from Adventure time I don't recognise any of them on the right.

My Mum bought back Hubba Bubba Tape for me from her work trip to the US & I was in love.

This meme has less than one year of relevancy left because the Nintendo Wii was released in 2006.
