Can anyone remember anything else from the 90's that I have missed?

I just had a thought - Pushpops & Sherbert Dips used to be something that everyone got from week to week.

Baggy Trousers were the in thing at one stage.

Oh and we can't forget MC Hammer or Salt 'n' Pepper

Ta hell with the 90's! Take me back to the 60's. I was building choppers and riding with a outlaw club in Tampa. Free sex, LSD was legal, you could score a lid,(oz) of reefer for $25 and a glass of beer ran 25 cents. HOT DAMM! Those were my "wild daze" and I remember them with much nostalgia. I've tamed down since then, haven't had a drink for over 30 years and even quit a two pack a day habit in 1987. Not as much fun but no regrets. Tom

That's fair play Speedball. Not everyone grew up in the 90's - but I sure did love the 90's. If I had grown up in the 60's I probably would have loved that era too!

I feel sorry for those non-Brit's out there. You missed the wonder of Mr Motivator on GMTV. Also Noel's House Party means nothing to you - that show was great in it's time. I used to have the board game too :) What else was there - Gordon the Gopher!! Was Edd the Duck in the 90's? Anyway, I was in the audience of Going Live when I was young! I was having a look round the set when I was meant to be listening to Anneka Rice (was Challenge Anneka on that list?) when Phillip Schofield saw me and made a face. I smiled back and it got caught on camera. My brief moment of fame ;)

Now lets see how old people really are.

How about Multicoloured SwapShop and Tiswaz??

Ps, sorry to hijack there but these rocked!! :D

I hear you - the non-brits did miss out. You have just reminded me of so many other things I had missed. Oh if only we could go back, just for a day or two ;)

I don't remember the Brit references of course, being in Canada, but many of the other things you mentioned were very familiar! The 90s were great... I grew up then too... or should I say, I was 10 at the beginning of 1990, so all my great teen memories are of the 90s! :)

I'm happy to know that I was not the only one who had the soundtrack to Tetris, LOL! And I absolutely loved Mario Kart, Saved by the Bell and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air!

You sure mentioned a lot DJ... you wrote that all yourself? Awesome, I love it! Makes me all nostalgic and weepy. :p

I did not write it all myself - had a little helping hand from a couple of friends. I was 6 in 1990 - so I enjoyed my teenage years throughout the 90's also. They were the good old days ;)

This thread is so old but it really made me laugh...
