1990-Early 2000 things you remember?

These stupid things, I never owned one but always saw the commercials.

"Scrambled" channels and the illegal black cable boxes that unlocked those. My family didn't ever get ahold of one of those boxes, but I had a close friend who did. If I remember correctly, I think he used this to his advantage to watch channels that kids our age at the time weren't allowed to see, ha ha.

Is this what these black cable boxes looked like? Don't remember seeing any in person, but I sure did hear about them an awful lot back in this time.

Oh man I actually still have my Aqua Pets. The water has mostly evaporated over time though so they don’t really work anymore sadly.

Early 2000’s thing im thinking about at 3am today: My Life as a Teenage Robot. Whenever this show came on or I heard the theme song from the living room I would lose it. I also lived for the nights my parents let me stay up and they’d do back to back episodes or reruns

Awwww that sucks!! Is there a way to add more water in?

They sadly weren't made to be refillable so they'd have to be modified somehow. Such as drilling a hole in them somewhere and re-sealing them.

Those big, puffy OSIRIS skater shoes. I remember that when they became trendy, everyone in my class had them... except me.

• constantly playing the N64
• playing with the tamagotchi and been really sad when I finally got the pet I wanted (it looked like a duck) and it died
• visiting Blockbuster
• going to Woolworths for pick n mix (RIP )
• having very few channels to watch on TVs that took up so much room
• trying to time it right to get onto the family computer and access the internet
• sitting around one computer with my 3 siblings so we could play the original Sims game
• furby toys - I had so many of these, not sure where they've all gone
• kids TV shows of the early 2000s (Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow, Raven, etc.)
• a little robot dog that liked to do a backflip
• the excitement of visiting Toys R Us to find a new beanie toy

Disposable cameras peeps.

I've been playing Tomodachi Life and the miis use the disposable cameras so when I heard the sounds of it, I instantly got sent back. I'm so glad we have digital cameras and phones now. Taking pictures back then was just such a rarity. When I was little, I wanted to take so many pictures but only had a limited amount of film I was allowed to use due to its price. Sucked lol.

The rest of my memories of Strawberry Shortcake was just unlocked. Anyone else remember her? I mostly remember her 2009 design but I think the prior version is a locked memory somewhere.
(for some reason, I can smell soda flavored chapstick through the screen when I look at her)

(2009 version.)

(2007 version.)
