Stuff you remember or had from the 80s - 90s

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
Tootsie rolls. :D

@Cyborg_pony  
Frooties, but yeah, I remember eating these every so often when I was younger.

@The Equestrian Zodiac
 
Haven’t had those in years. They’re good

@Dirty Bit  
Same, they really are good.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
Those were like mosquitoes in my Halloween treats halls.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
The Halloween candy of poor people.
 
Seriously, though. Those used to be like penny-candies or something.

Oh Henry bars are the WORST!  
They’re so numerous and they taste flat compared to the other bars. A lot of mine just ended up going rancid because of the peanut contents in those bars.
 
Now if you’re a Canuck. You’d recognize these.  

 
These were GOLD.  
Crunchy, Thick, crispy, aromatic, and sweet.

People still play on their handheld devices under their bed sheets. In fact, even more so nowadays.  
Just with their smartphones in place of the Game Boys.
 
Couple days ago, I spotted someone playing what looked like a GBA SP on my ride to work on the subway. Something I have not seen much since the 2000s.

@Selaphiel  
I was gonna necro this thread with something I remembered having.
 
BOOM!  

 
The Talkboy from the 2nd Home Alone movie.
 
I had some dumb fun with this thing.

@Cyborg_pony  
Voice recording gadgets were bulky affairs back then. Look how far things have come. Now even the cheapest cellphones have it.

@Selaphiel  
Yup.

@Cyborg_pony
 
I remember the commercial for that

@Cyborg_pony  
Yeah I had one of them.

@Dirty Bit @Darth Prime  
Still odd to me that it was marketed at “The thing from Home Alone 2” but in the movie was a product.
 
It’d be like if Super Mario bros. 3 was marketed as the game from the Wizard.

@Cyborg_pony  
And the spin-off stuff it inspired too was odd as well.

@Selaphiel  
Nerf. The most successful children’s arms dealer.
 
@Darth Prime  
OH I remember that commercial!

Canadians should remember this.

What if DBz was an opera?

Remember when there were many varieties of cartoons during the 80s and 90s that toyed around with various novelty concepts? Unique titles and series.
 
Nowadays, pretty much every cartoon is based on rehashes of existing established titles from the past in order to be sucessful. Sure, there are some new original titles. But they pretty much all follow this one singular formula that makes all cartoons appear the same these days.

@Selaphiel
 
Very true

I’ve been watching a lot of old VHS tapes from 20 years ago in 1999 lately. Remember when the whole y2k thing was actually considered a serious thing? Funny looking back that now.

@TenaciousDreamer2nd  
It’s pretty amusing to think back on how people freaked out so much about it.

Ten 80s Cartoons that only lasted ONE season #2…wonder why??
