Ah the memories of my childhood...
- Pogs (played at school constantly)
- Devil Sticks (I had 3 sets)
- Marbles (1990 equivalent craze of playing Jacks)
- Colin James (before he played Swing Music for GAP ads)
- Green Day (when preppie punk and swearing in lyrics was "rad!")
- Mini-stick hockey (OMG! We actually had that!?!?!)
- Woodstock '94 (only a few of us knew there was a Woodstock in '69, even then this concert looked bitchin)
- Macintosh and IBM computers (before 1000s of other companies started getting into the business)
- LA Gear light shoes (those stupid shoes with the light that blinked with each step you took)
- Pauly Shore (the 1990s seem to be the pinacle of his career after he left MTV)
- Super Nintendo (the "X-Box of the early 1990s)
- Gun registration (not an issue 'til 1998)
- cigarettes were $2.50 a pack (they're about $8.00 a pack now)
- super soakers (everyone, even girls had them)
- stone-washed jeans
- beastie boys were the only rap / hiphop group listened to at school
- Bi Way (cheap store, you got your @$$ kicked if you shopped at Bi Way)
- Cable TV (sattelite was for millionaires, rabbit ears were for cave dwellers.)
- CDs (people still bought cassettes because CDs were triple the price)
