Long Live
Nickelodeon was king in the 90's! Before Spongebob was their flagship cartoon, you had the weekday lineup memorized and every night they played your favorite shows. You even liked Nick At Night when all of the cartoons were over.

The Radio
Back before iPods, Rdio and Spotify, you used to be able to listen to the radio and enjoy every song that came on for hours. There was no auto-tune, the music didn’t all sound the same and even if they were singing vulgar lyrics, it all still sounded so good!

Gotta Catch 'Em All
Do you remember your Pokemon card collection? These days, kids wouldn’t understand the brilliant ways of trading Pokemon and making an unstoppable line up but back in the 90’s, the kid with the cards had all the bragging rights!

Spice and Everything Nice
You probably never forgot this about the 90’s but there was no way to make it through that decade without falling in love with The Spice Girls.

Problem Solving
There were no conflicts too great to solve in the 90’s because the people of those days had a system set up to combat any problem, no matter how great or small. The system was known as “Rock, Paper Scissors”, the most honest system of problem solving. When that didn’t work, it was time for a fair and square, old-fashioned thumb war.

Radio Disney
Back in the 90’s, no one watched the Disney Channel! Disney was known for their great movies like the Lion King, Aladdin and Beauty and The Beast, but on the daily, Disney was also known for their radio station full of modern hits redone for age appropriate listeners.

Hanson
In the 90's, they were the heartthrobs of girls everywhere. We’re happy to say that they’re still a very successful band and performing better now than ever before (and as you can see, they're still heartthrobs!)

Playing Outside
One of the forgotten things of the 90’s was the passion for playing outside until the sun went down. During Summer vacation, everyone got outside first thing in the morning and the day was full of swimming, laser tag, riding bikes and finding adventures until the sun started to set! What a concept.

Blue
Yo, sometimes you've just need to listen up for the story about a little guy that’s blue. If he was green he would die. His house was blue, the streets were blue and he had a girlfriend and she was blue too.

Tamagotchis
Forget real pets, for the first time ever you could have your own digital pet that relied on you for food, hygiene and love! They later came out with different versions and they actually still make them but they'll never be the same as they were in the 90's!

Who Let The Dogs Out?
You may have forgotten your quest to figure out who let the dogs out but we never will! Seriously, who let them out? We’ve been asking for over 10 years and we still don’t know!

Tang
If you ever wanted to experience a kick in the glass, Tang’s delicious orange flavoring was the way to go.

You're An Allstar
Hey now, you’re an all-star and a rock star and apparently you can get your game on and go play and all that glitters is gold.

You were terrified! You probably know someone that set up a bomb shelter and bought out an entire stock of bottled water, dry food and lanterns!
