    Most of this stuff is for kids born in the mid 80's. Not so much 90's. Ya'll were infants when lots of these things happened. Like New Kids on the Block and original airings of Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy. They were my favorite show when I was 6 in 1991. So yeah, not so much for kids born in the 90's.

    Then how about we say for kids in the 80's and 90's.

    OMG I loved "are you afraid of the dark"!! - I'd completely forgotten about that til I saw it mentioned there. Also Rugrats :D I remember my dad recorded over 200 episodes for me on video when I was younger as I was obsessed with it.

    Only thing I didn't get (and I was born in '82, my sister in '85) was the number 23 reference. Care to remind me what that one stood for?

    You can finish this [ice ice _ _ _ _ ]

    You remember watching Doug, Ren & Stimpy, Pinky and the Brain, and Two Stupid Dogs.

    AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!

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

    You just cant resist finishing this . . . "Iiiiiiin west philadelphia born and raised . . ."

    You remember TGIF, Step by Step, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, and Boy Meets World.

    You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

    You remember reading "Goosebumps"

    You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

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

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

    When everything was settled by rock paper scissors

    When cops and robbers was a daily activity.

    When we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

    You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.

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

    You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.

    You always wanted to send in a tape to America's Funniest Home Videos or You've Been Framed (UK) . . . but never taped anything funny.

    You remember watching Home Alone 1, 2 , and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

    You remember watching The Magic School Bus and Wishbone

    You remember when Yomega Yo-Yos were cool.

    You remember those Where's Waldo books.

    You remember when Mortal Kombat Was "Da Bomb!"

    You remember eating Warheads.

    You remember watching the 1st Batman, Aladin, Ninja Turtles, and 3 Ninjas movies.

    You remember Ring Pops.

    You remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

    When they made the new lunchables so that you could make pizza AND tacos.

    Writing M.A.S.H. notes.

    Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.

    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.

    . . . Furbies.

    You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

    And Windows 95 was the best.

    You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.

    You had a favorite "New Kid on the Block", and you knew all of their names.

    When Goth (NOT EMO) was crazy cool! Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, the good bands.

    You remember Bewitched, Jump 5, S-Club 7, and that whole period with the boy bands and pop divas.

    You remember exactly where you were and what you were doing the first time you saw a Britney Spears or N'SYNC video.

    Michael Jordan was a king.

    YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!

    All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.

    You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out.

    You collected those Beanie Babies.

    You collected all the Troll dolls

    You owned a portable tape player.

    If you even know what an original walkman is.

    You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

    You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" <---FAVORITE SHOW!

    You know the Macarena by heart.

    "Talk to the hand" . . . enough said

    You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

    You know the significance of the number 23.

    You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.

    You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

    Two words, Spice Girls!

    Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

    Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

    Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

    Before MIKE JONES . . .

    Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX . . .

    Before Spongebob . . .

    Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

    When light up sneakers were cool.

    When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

    When we recorded stuff on VCRs.

    When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off of our walkmans.

    Way back when it was all about N64.

    WHEN YOU TRADED POKEMON CARDS FOR A LIVING.

    I was 80s and 90s but I definitely still know ALL of the NKOTB names and my fav is Donnie now ;) Hahaha.
