73 Posts That Prove The ’90s Really Were A Completely Different World (New Pics)
A lot has changed since the ’90s, for better or worse. The screech of dial-up has been replaced by (mostly) seamless connectivity. Phones are no longer bound by cords—we can take them just about anywhere. And mixtapes have given way to algorithm-curated playlists. Still, it’s a little disarming to hear that the ’90s are “back”—has it really been that long (it has), and are we really old enough to have watched “everyday” become “retro”?
No complaints, though. Looking back on the ’90s brings all the warm and fuzzies—even if it also makes us feel a little old. And that’s precisely why we’ve rounded up these memes for you. They were shared on r/90s, a subreddit “dedicated to everything about the ’90s,” and some might have you reminiscing about things you thought you’d long forgotten.

We had this, but olive green. To my recollection, it only ever came out for pancakes (often zucchini pancakes), and maybe French toast. What is this mysterious chicken my mother was apparently unaware of?

I’m fine with this being brought back. I’m not a fan of the “everything white kitchen” or cars being mostly black, white, or some shade of grey/silver.

How To Annoy Your Parents Back Then Xd

Pah, a pale imitation of the real 'clackers' we had in the 1970s. Lethal, they were, which is why the first shortened the strings, then banned them completely, in the UK at least. We had them earlier than other kids, and with the long strig, when my dad brought some back from a business trip to the US, around 1972 or so, IIRC.
