Hands up if you miss the 90s? If you’re waving your hands in the air right now like you’re at an *NSYNC concert, then you’re going to absolutely love these nostalgic photos. After all, time goes by too fast! And while we appreciate the changing times and the new modern world, there was nothing quite like trying to keep your Tamagotchi alive or applying chapstick every five minutes at school. Yes, these pictures from the 1990s prove that they were the good old days.

The Best Book of the 1990s

There were two kinds of 90s kids. There were those who read actual books, and then there were those who read books of Pokemon cards. If you were part of the latter category, then we salute you. It took a lot of patience and work to build up an impressive collection of cards, especially as most of the time you got the same cards over and over again when you bought a new pack from the store!

If you’re someone who suffers from serious nostalgia, you might even have this book of Pokemon cards in the attic. And you might want to get them out, because they might be worth a fortune now!

Showing off the Limited Edition

If you had a Game Boy, you got to experience one of the best video game consoles of the 1990s. In fact, we’d go as far as to say that the Game Boy is one of the best video game consoles of all time! This handheld device let us play games like Super Mario and Pokemon, and we were utterly obsessed. We’d do anything to feel the hit of nostalgia we’d get from holding one of these again.

Anyone who knows anything about Game Boys will know that the limited edition Blue Ice console was the bomb. Everyone wanted it, but only those who could afford it had the pleasure of playing it.

Going Around the Twist

Let’s be honest; Twister was one of the best games of our childhood. 90s kids spent hours playing this in the basement of their friend’s houses. But there was one problem; anyone who played Twister instantly became the most competitive version of themselves to have ever existed. As you can imagine, the 1990s was full of arguments – and this was mostly as a result of this very specific game.

Does anyone still play this game? If you do, we hope you’ve put some boundaries in place and told your friends that what happens during a game of Twister stays in the game.

Trick or Treating Gold

Oh, the nostalgia! This picture has left us dreaming of the days when we would trick or treat during the 1990s, and other 90s kids will undoubtedly relate to us. That’s because no trick-or-treating adventure would be complete without finding the best candy of them all; the Chiclets gum. There was something so amazing about this gum, and while we can’t quite put our finger on why, we still know it to be true.

Unfortunately, we have some bad news for you. This gum was actually discontinued! So, you’ll just have to keep your memories of this gum deep in your brain so you can always remember it.

The Sniffing Sensation Was Real

If you’re not a 90s kid, you’ll be forgiven for thinking that this is just a normal set of stickers. But these things are so much more, and they’re filling us with a sense of nostalgia we can’t quite contain right now! That’s because these stickers were actually scratch-and-sniff stickers, which meant that they smelled of the picture on the sticker when you scratched it! Our favorite was always the plum.

These stickers were so special that most of us didn’t even really use them that often. They were reserved for special occasions, and most people had a strict requirements when it came to sticking them down.

Seriously, Where Is Waldo?

If you were the kind of 90s kid that didn’t like to read full-on books with lots of words, Where’s Waldo? was the next best thing. This way, you could trick your parents into thinking that you were chilling out before bedtime with a book when really you were just on a search and rescue mission trying to find the main man himself. But the big question is, did you ever find Waldo?

We spent hours trying to find this guy and most of the time we had to give up. But every so often we’d find Waldo and drift off to sleep in 90s bliss.

We’re Still Waiting to Be Slimed

If you grew up in the 1990s, there’s a high chance that you also grew up watching Nickelodeon. This channel had everything a 90s kid could possibly want, but we were always pretty jealous when we saw celebrities get slimed on the channel. Sure, the neon-green slime made a mess, but they only slimed the best of the best – and we wanted to be the best of the best.

Daily Time Waste
Although we’re still waiting to be slimed, seeing this photo is bringing back some serious Nickelodeon nostalgia. So, we’ll take that until we finally get our day to be slimed.

This Covered All the Art Bases

Hands up if you got one of these art sets for your birthday or Christmas? Well, we’re not surprised. So many 90s kids opened up one of these sets over the years, and they were a pretty awesome gift. This set had everything you needed to cover all of the art bases, including colored pens, crayons, watercolors, and pencils. When you got this, you felt as though you could become the world’s next big artist.

Of course, we’re still waiting for our big art break. But we still thank this art set for giving us the skills to color within the lines. That takes great skill, after all.
