With the recent revival of the Ninja Turtles and all the reruns of Full House on TV, many of us think about all the good times "back in the day."



You know you grew up in the 1990s if...



You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air."

You remember when Kurt Cobain, Tu Pac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House."

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You danced to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls.

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

You remember when Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up."

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down.

You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool.

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell."

You played and/or collected "Pogs."

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere.

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)

You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out, and you made your parents drive you everywhere to try and find them.

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand."

You thought Brain would finally take over the world.

You remember Hot Wheels and Furbies.

You played Red Light, Green Light; tag; or Heads up, Seven upFurbies.

You cried when Mustafa died in the Lion King.

You remember Happy Meals where you chose a Barbie or a Hot Wheels car.

You watched Saturday Morning Cartoons in your PJ's still wrapped up in your TMNT, Power Rangers, Barbie, Fairy Princess comforter.

You watched all those shows on Nickelodeon like Hey Arnold, Rugrats, The Secret World of Alex Mac, Ren & Stimpy, Double Dare, Rocco's Modern Life, AAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS, Wild & Crazy Kids, Clarissa Explains it All, Salute Your Shorts (CAMP ANAWANA), Are You Afraid of the Dark?, etc.



Chances are, we never realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!
