Everyone claims the generation they grew up in was the best but I can honestly say there's nothing better than growing up in the 90's into the early 2000's. I'd be lying if I said growing up in the 90's is the same as growing up in today's generation. If I wanted to hangout with my friend I would walk over to their house, ring their doorbell, and ask their parents if they were home. Now all anyone ever does is text one another to make plans. "What are you doing later, wanna chill?" Everything has changed. Growing up in the 90's was completely different and I'm so glad I'll always remember by childhood as a "90's kid." I lived my childhood dream and I can proudly say that I was slimed on Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live. What's cooler than that? Every time I went to the grocery store with my mom getting a Wonderball was a necessity, you couldn't see my bedroom floor because it was covered by Polly Pocket Pieces, and I had more Webkinz that you could ever imagine. So what makes growing up in the 90's so special you ask? Here's 29 things that made growing up in the 90's so great:
1. Dunkaroos
Even though your mom probably always refused to buy these, when she did it was always the best snack to have in your lunch at school.
2. Hit Clips
3. Heelys
4. When Disney Channel was actually good
That's So Raven, Lizzy McGuire, Phil of The Future, Kim Possible, Hannah Montana, and so many more.
5. Rainbow Scratch Paper
There was nothing better than when your art teacher pulled these out.
6. Milky Pens
7. Slip n Slides
8. Skip It
This truly gave you your exercise for the day.
9. Ring Pops
10. Yoyo-water balls
These were best until schools started to ban them.
11. Rainbow parachutes & wheelies
Gym class wasn't complete without these fun games.
12. Trix Yogurt
The only yogurt you would ever eat as a child. What's cooler than yogurt with two different colors?
13. Blow up chair & couch
Who needs real furniture when you can have blow up furniture?
14. Big Comfy Couch
The best show ever created, although now that I think about it, it's kinda creepy.
15. Floatie Flip Flops
The best and most comfortable flip flops you will ever own.
16. Lunchables
You were always the coolest kid at the lunch table when you whipped one of these out.
17. Furby
What's that creepy noise? Oh it's just my Furby.
18. Tamagotchi
19. Polly Pockets
Pieces and pieces everywhere.
20. Beanie Babies
21. Wonder Ball
The best candy ever created. Thank god they brought this back to stores.
22. Easy Bake Ovens
When your mom couldn't let you cook with her you ran to your easy bake oven to make a desert for the family.
23. Webkinz
Now this was more in the 2000's but what was better than the Webkinz phase?
24. Nickelodeon
There was nothing better than rolling out of bed on a Saturday morning and watching Nickelodeon, and chances are "All That" was your favorite TV show.
25. Jelly Bear Keychains
26. Hula Hoops
27. AIM
Lets be honest we all had those embarrassing usernames (mine was Lilmonkeyj48) and we edited our "buddy profiles" at least twice a day.
28. Kudos Bars
29. Heads Up, 7-Up
So yeah, I guess you could say us 90's kids were "All That."
