We all like to think that age is just a number. And it kinda works until you come across a relic from the old times. Your heart starts pumping, and you gotta tell yourself "I ain’t a kid no more."
So when someone started the "I’m this old" Twitter challenge, it blew up in an instant. People started sharing pictures of old-school stuff that best represents how old they’ve gotten. From Myspace accounts and floppy disks to Accelerated Reader and Yogos Bits, there’s a relatable thing for virtually everyone. So let’s go down memory lane, where everything feels so much more recent than it actually is.

Ring-Toss
Just WHY can’t you get those any more? I even had much more exciting ones with fish and baskets and all sorts of amazing scenery inside.
Oh, I actually saw a miniature version of this recently in a random small convenience store. Anyway, yeah, you don't see these very often anymore.

Those buttons were hard to push. I guess because you had to move water with that button.I loved the way plastic smelled in the '80's. These things and jelly shoes.

Old School Image Projectors
And the class clown who would run up & doodle something innapropriate on the clear film while the teacher wasn't paying attention haha
The lights had to be off in the schoolroom or, later, in the conference room, leaving me free to pretend that I was elsewhere.
CD Collection
I still have 4 of these. One for CD’s, one for DVD’s, one for Computer Discs with photos, files etc and one with Floppy discs.
If any of these objects seem familiar, there’s a great chance you belong to the millennial generation, which covers anyone born from 1981 to 1996. That being said, the youngest millennials are now fully-grown adults. That means we can clearly spot the generational differences in comparison to to Generation X (born from 1965-1980) and baby boomers (born from 1946-1964).
According to Pew Research Center, millennials make up the 2nd largest generation in the US electorate, “a fact that continues to shape the country’s politics given their Democratic leanings when compared with older generations.” In general, this demographic group is “more educated but there’s a sharp economical divide between those with a college education and those without it.”
Class Journals
I think some things were better without all the technology. Like when I was younger I would stay outside til the street lights came on. Today kids are so consumed with technology, they don't get outside & enjoy nature, fresh air, & adequate amount of exercise they need!
Wonder what the adults blamed on before computers were invented. Maybe books.

Her colleagues laughed at her for being a Luddite, until the day the WiFi crashed and they all had to ask her for one. Much humble pie was eaten that morning!

Load More Replies...O my...me too. Now I look and find it weird that we noted which were male and which were female. I made teachers crazy all through school because my name looks male but is pronounced DeNEE which is a French male name. Nevertheless it is the name that I was given and as I grew, so did my like of having an unusual name for a female. Helpful people have always and still do, change it to Denise. I have to correct them and watch the confusion. One of the small amusements in life.
Teachers here in Texas still use these. If the computers go down, they still have the grades
Retired from DISD 8 yrs. ago, but we were still required to also keep grades in a gradebook (were issued one for that purpose each yr.) & were demerited if it was not up to date at classroom observations.

Load More Replies...To compare with their predecessors, millennials tend to be more conscious about their health and general well-being. A 2013 Aetna poll showed that “baby boomers were likely to define 'healthy' as not falling sick.” Meanwhile, millennials consider healthy eating habits and physical activity as the definitions of healthy. That explains why we have seen such a rise in food preferences like vegan, gluten-free, organic, and other natural alternatives.
On the other hand, there’s a steady tendency of decline in millennial homeownership. Business Insider suggests that this is due to the fact that as a whole “they have less money than their parents did at the same age.” According to this report titled “Are Millennials Different?” by The Federal Reserve: millennials have lower earnings, fewer assets, and less wealth compared to baby boomers.

Some ppl have mad skills on these things! It blows my mind. I could barely make anything recognizable! haha
I know, right! I couldn't even write my name on them lol! Do you know what one I used to love - Spirograph (is that right?). I was quite lucky, my youngest aunt was 11 when I was born so my gran kept all her old stuff for me. I absolutely loved that stuff - Mousetrap, Kerplunk, Spirograph, old doll house with real lights, that head thing that you could do the hair and makeup on, Enid Blyton's Famous Five books (I actually saw a boxset of the first 5 Famous Five books in Tesco for £9.00 - I seriously want to buy it lol but I really don't have any spare money to justify buying a 'trip down memory lane' right now lol)

Watching Movies On VHS
Yes, and do you remember when you had to play Final Fantasy 8 on 5 separate CDs? (The 5th was the installation disc, PC version)
Remember when Organ Trail was on two separate floppy disc. The old 6" floppy disc that you could actually bend.
Load More Replies...Remember when you were all set to watch you movie, you pull it out and realize that it hadn't been rewinded the last time you watched it. Had to sit and wait.
I STILL haven't seen the second half of Gone With the Wind - thank you for reminding me!
The only thing I remember about the Titanic was the scene where DiCrapio's a*s was buck naked. I had been dragged along by a group of friends- among whom was a cute girl, who I had all the charm to, apparently, spoil the ending. (The ship sinks.) In any case, the scene is memorable, because we were seated right in front of a gaggle of old ladies who apparently went ten times, expressly for this scene. The old ladies were vastly more entertaining than the entire movie.
anything would be more entertaining than that movie.
Load More Replies...Two tapes? I had Titanic with one tape... and it cost £14.99 (still had the label on).

Cassette Adaptors
lol. Actually, I use one. I have a cassette player in my van and use one of these to hook my phone to so I can listen to music. I work from home and drive very little so I'm not really interested in spending money to upgrade my van when I rarely use it.
Me too. I also had an add-on device to play FM stations through my AM-only car stereo.

I am older than you, I actually saw all of these in an actual movie theater.
Tetherball
Loved tether ball! My dad put one up in the back yard. I whopped everybody's butt!
Love this. I too was the kid to beat at school. I remember seeing it in 1st grade, I was mesmerized, and I was determined to be the best at. By 3rd grade I was playing against the 5th graders, and by 5th grade I also had that mean right arm. So much fun. I was short, but I could take on the tall kids. I would swing it high, with the follow up hits, take 'em out. I was so sad because our middle school didn't have them & my parents refused to get me another one because I had broken the last two. (They weren't sturdy enough) I wish it could be an Olympic game! XD

Good ol Tazo’s. Now you get nothing in chip packs or cereal boxes anymore. ☹️
In Australia these are called Tazo’s, other countries may call them Pog’s, Flippo’s etc. We used to get them in chip packets to collect and you could buy folders to put them in. There was a game that you could play with them but I never knew how. We just collected them. They had a few different sets like Looney Tunes, The Simpsons, Space Jam, The Cheeto Cheetah etc.

So Old School It's Vintage
Posted from username 90skid is questionable bc the stuff pictured was much older than the 90's.
I remember these and I am not THAT old! Does anybody remember the fountain pens with the rubber bladder inside and you filled up at the communal ink bottle by inserting the pen nib down and flipping the lever on the outside up and down to pump the bladder and fill with ink. Messy things those pens. Ink blots on papers and notebooks and most of us went home with blue inked fingers. We loved our pens.
FYI, Items pictured above were still in use in India back in the 1980s along with their newer versions. I have even seen tooth powder and the light switch being in use even in the late 90s.
In India yes because they aren't a developed nation like Canada and the US so we had more advanced packaging.

No not snap bracelets, SLAP bracelets. And I had tons. There is a ruler inside.
Cherry Bombs
Yeah, I worked in a museum and during class tour season we used to see these damn things all over the carpets, the escalators, the sidewalks outside, and the landscaping. The museum finally banned them and ejected anyone who set one off, which meant that one student could get the whole class thrown out.
In France, we called these Lucifer's Farts, lol! These were so much fun!!

I graduated in '97. I think I juuuuust missed these.those colors looked like my background on word perfect, though.

Still exists - and if in your era the safety patrol belts were that much of a high-viz and streamlined design then, by the standards of actual old people, you're a god damn 20-something baby.
My parents used one on one of my brothers because he was the kind of kid who would just take off running in the middle of a crowd. It works great; it lets the kid walk on their own two feet (as opposed to being in a stroller or being carried) without the risk of losing them.

Also do people know that gen z started in the mid to late 90's, so many of the older gen zers grew up with millennials and in the 90's?
Millennials started in the late 90s. A lot of gen-z people aren't even adults yet.
