Wizard 101 and Poptropica and Cool Math Games were the ****

Also those animal shaped bracelets and rainbow loom ones

 

[Manah]

Nintendo making a huge deal of the "real computer mouse" that came with Mario Paint because computers were still Special back then. Or the over the top marketing of anything 3D.

Lots of very shiny toys with blinking lights and pewpew noises.

Gogos, specifically the Dragon Ball ones for me.

The first sets of Pokémon TCG cards with iconic artwork.

Only British 2000s kids will remember jelly aliens and the never-ending quest to make them reproduce.

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

another thing i remember are these candys called yogos, as well as when fruit rollups had something called stackerz and wonka had donutz (so many zs....)

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

When play kitchens weren't so advanced. I've seen play rice cookers (and other things) in addition to play kitchens now with buttons that do extra, weird things to make it look like you're actually cooking something. I remember when you just got a play kitchen, there were no buttons or anything fancy with them, just some doors that acted like an oven, cupboards, and a microwave. And of course, fake plates, forks, food, etc.
I don't remember having any fancy play kitchen toys at all in the early 2000's. Or was that just me?

I remember that this bubble gum was my favorite growing up. I had the bad habit of just swallowing the gum paste before it could harden.

Too bad that it’s discontinued

 

[oranje]

For me, it's furbies, Pokémon, the N64, Gameboy pop music like Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, 90s cartoons on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, and weird food trends for kids, like purple/green ketchup.

Here's some of my random memories

-Push pops! I used to love these however I remember that eating the candy and getting the lollypop part all sticky would then sometimes cause the candy to get stuck inside of the plastic so I couldn't get it back out.

-The radio thing from Toy Story

Spoiler: Pic

We actually had two of these in my house because my sister also had one, we could make tape recordings on them all the time or just use them to make "announcements" and also the weird voice changer setting.

-Those voice activated password diaries, thought they were so cool. My sister had one that was actually more of a lock box kind of thing and some of her stuff got stuck in there when it wouldn't recognize her voice anymore.

-Clear inflatable couches and chairs. I had a chair and ottoman set in my room. It was really purely decorative and did not get used very much.

Only British 2000s kids will remember jelly aliens and the never-ending quest to make them reproduce.

I was talking to somebody about these the other day! My cousins all had them but I hated how gooey they were. I remember how everybody would go on about the babies.

Does anybody remember mini CDs? They were nigh on pointless haha they couldn't hold much data on them but I thought they were adorable

 

[Masenkochick]

Kudos bars and dunkaroos were so yummy! Why did the 2000s and late 1990s have such good snacks?!
