I was about 6 when I opened my Angel Tree present and received the AUTHENTIC Crayola 256 Box Set (I knew how much it cost, something like $25) and not 1, not 2, not even 5, but 10 whole coloring books all for just me! My parents swear they thought I had won the lottery!

I pick gifts for the Angel tree every year that I possibly can, and it was really, really awesome to hear from someone who received a gift through that program. Thank you SO much for sharing that story. 😊

I had a game I played with crayons. Being a romantic child I would divide up the crayons into female and male and have large weddings for them. For instance Carnation pink, bride, would pair up with burnt sienna, groom. Then I would develop bridesmaids and groomsmen in the same manner. Then the reverend and pianist, and so forth. Silly, I know
MurderMittens 2 years ago
When i was little, i thought colors were girls and boys too. Pink was a girl, as was Red, orange, yellow, you get the picture. Boy colors were blue, green, brown, black, purple... I once had a bad dream about burnt sienna and raw umber. They were wearing cowboy hats, and they were bad guys coming to get me.

Did you know that these have the same ingredients as udon noodles? Prepackaged udon smells the same way Play-Doh does
BieneMaya 2 years ago
Well, in Germany play-doh still gets bad grades (like 5 or F) in terms of ingredients, because the test assumes correctly that kids will absorb harmful chemicals because of long skin exposure or possible oral ingestion. Whereas the governments standards only demand toys references for chemicals.... I ate plenty, so does my son. So I rather take products that are testet like foodand got good results or make it myself with food ingredients...

The most interesting thing is how our perception of "good old days" changes over time. As someone whose teen years were in the 90s, I remember very well how the adults resented these newfangled Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls, comparing them to the great rock classics - certainly not in favor of the youth. And now, nearly thirty years later, we're shedding tears watching the reunited Spice Girls on YouTube, and this time their hits are in our hearts somewhere between Stairway To Heaven and Under Pressure. So tell me what you want, what you really, really want... and I'll tell you, we want to go back to our childhood again.

My dad still had his until he passed away in 2014, and then I used it until I moved last year. It's now in a box in the garage until I finish bringing stuff in and find a place for it (it's very slow going since limited mobility and health issues caused me to have to move, so the actual moving in of things is happening at a snail's pace). I think dad bought his when I started first grade, so 1980-ish. 43 years later and it still works!

Psychologist Alan R. Hirsch in his report, “Nostalgia: A Neuropsychiatric Understanding,” defines nostalgia as a yearning for an idealized past - “a longing for a sanitized impression of the past, what in psychoanalysis is referred to as a screen memory - not a true recreation of the past, but rather a combination of many different memories, all integrated together, and in the process all negative emotions filtered out."
And indeed, the more we live in this world, the more value we attach to things and phenomena from our youth. Often downplaying what we have now. Although, you know, I personally would probably sell my soul if I had my current smartphone somewhere in the late nineties!

Littlefoot, Cera, Petrie, Ducky, and Spike were the original 5. I don't remember the name of the baby T-Rex, cuz that wasn't in the first movie, I only watched the second one like twice in my life, and I haven't watched any of the ones after 2. My faves of this type were the American Tail pair (American Tail and Fievel Goes West)
And, of course, the Internet and social networks come into play, literally fixing every step of any more or less famous person. For example, would we be so categorical in adoring Michael Jordan as the greatest basketball player of all time if we were guided not only by old VHS tapes of his games and Space Jam? Or would we vehemently discuss each of his missed shots and failed interviews like we do with LeBron James? Okay, okay, the second Space Jam really wasn't even half as good as the first one! Or is this where nostalgia kicks in again?

Be that as it may, memes are a great excuse to take a little trip back in time, recharge with the energy of our youth, and return again to the crazy, fast contemporary world that has become so incredibly small with the development of all these technologies. Okay, let's digress for a couple more minutes - just scroll this list to the very end, point out the memes you like best and just share your own viewpoint on whether nostalgia is really that cool.

Either hot as hell in the summer or cold as f**k in the winter. I remember the seats were the same way, In the summer you would peel your legs off the seats and they would be sweating or in the winter sitting on them especially with denim on your legs would feel like seating on a block of ice.

Yeah, me neither. No digital ape could mimic the feel of a metal slammer in your hand.

You’ve obviously never lived somewhere long enough to have a junk drawer that becomes a time capsule for anything that gets shoved to the back.

Yeah, but if you remember the REALLY old ones that were like dipping sauce cups, you're ancient, like me!

This isn’t nostalgic, the first movies was 2010. The first iron man movie is older than this, wouldn’t call that nostalgic, and this pic is from the 2019 movie

there's movies too! The first movie is on Netflix now, along with the show. I would recommend to watch the movie first. I don't know where to find the second movie but it has to be out there somewhere lol, that goes for the other movie too

Yeah, well, you aren't old if you went to the theatre and was shocked to hear Darth Vader reveal: "I am your father!"

LMAO - I cleaned model home in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the “Italian Chef” theme was rampant

No chickens, but we did have a goose with a blue ribbon around its neck. It was a cookie jar.

Honestly, I prefer this to the new WHITE/WHITE/WHITE, bleed-out-my-eyes. This is now considered French Country. It's kitschy, relaxing, playful yet efficient.

Are these the ones with extra filling? Regardless, back in the day, we would always beg Dad to bring home Oreos when he went to the States on business trips (you could buy them in bulk and cheaper than here in Europe). When I brought them along to school, I would actually be sorta popular during recess...

I was always afraid I’d choke on one of them. I did actually almost end up choking on one the first time I tried one of the double stuffed Oreos.

Walden Farms ranch tastes like used motor oil, it's absolutely horrid. Where's the Brianna's Buttermilk Ranch? that stuff is great!

Wait. There’s more than Hidden Valley? - I’m not a fan of ranch and didn’t grow up with it at all. I only remember the Hidden Valley commercials as a kid. Today is when I learned ranch dressing is a common name and not a specific thing exclusive to one company.

Personally, I don't understand why this country seems to be obsessed with ranch. I think it's disgusting. But, to each their own, lol.

I'm from NW Indiana, Wisconsin's neighbor, and we also feel this same way about ranch!! Midwest USA is ranch territory 🥰

I never know what to think of these posts. On the one hand, it's fun to see silly stuff from my childhood. But on the other hand, a LOT of this still exists, and the "Kids will never know "X" kind of bothers me. But I'm a Gen X'er, so what do I know?

the kids will never know also bothers me. Not everything you grew up with has completely disappeared. It's such a strange thing imo

At the rate things are going actually owning a house (much less anything in it) will count as nostalgia.
