90's Fads You Participated In…

[Angry Ram]

Since another group is talking about the "good ole days", lets have our own party for everyone that grew up in the greatest decade ever, the 1990s.

Let's go to school with plastic lunch box and a thermos that was disguised as dino bio matter! I really had this one, in fact I still do somewhere.

90’s was very early in my working career. I remember carrying a beeper for a couple of years.

Yep, I remember that as well! My dad, my brother, and I played Super Mario on there all the time. There was also Castlevania, but it creeped me out as a kid, and thus, I never really got into it.

I remember getting a Gameboy and that was pretty exciting for me. Most 90's trends I had heard of in passing at one time or another but didn't participate in, many didn't make it to me, and the trends that we had in Ireland mostly didn't/don't leave the island.

Wasn't much for bum bags, but I remember them popping up more and more in the 90's. Americans call them fanny packs which we all found/find to be really funny, because fanny is slang for vagina in Ireland.

I went with the spikey hair trend as a wain I think that was a 90's trend. I really wanted the shoes with the little rail grind pad thing on the bottom, soaps, but my mother said they were too dangerous. I remember being on holiday in the States and seeing people with them, I thought they were so cool. I was able to get a skateboard shortly after, but other than an ollie I never mastered it.

I was the same way when a friend once told me that Mad Men's Christina Hendricks wasn't truly a redhead ...

Bit before my time. I didn't start watching until 2002.

Although I was legit scared of biker Undertaker.

So. Much. Flannel. But so comfortable.

To go with your brick phone? Because mobile calls were like $2 per minute back then?

I remember having to wait until after 8 or 9 when cell calls were free.

Growing up on the family farm we got like half a dozen of these flip phones to give to everyone who was working during planting and harvest seasons and I was so happy to get one as a teenager. At night, when I was cruising the strip once it hit 9pm I'd flip that bad boy out to flaunt my awesomeness while randomly calling friends even though the signal would drop constantly because cell service was basically worthless still while in a moving vehicle. But by golly, flipping that phone open made you feel like a king for 30 seconds.
