• Holding the TV antenna just so to pick up the signal, and craning around to see the screen
• The horrible screech on the phone line while Mom's checking her email—like the prolonged death scream of an AI
• "Microwave? Why would anyone want a microwave? You've already got an oven! What a waste of money."

@FlyingToaster hoe did crystal pepsi taste?
@introvme Crystal Pepsi made a small comeback last year or the year before, and I bought a few small bottles, so I have a recent memory.. It actually tasted very similar to regular Pepsi, a cola flavor.
Musta just left out the evil brown dye.
Yep left out the Carmel dye and flavoring
I can think of more than three as the 90s are the first entire chronological decade I experienced.
Cassettes and cool players... Clock radios with built-in cassette players were something I was very into. I had two (a Soundesign and a Sharper Image one too). MiniDiscs Music on FM radio stations made by truly talented artists
@ryechips My elementary school served me & my classmates those exact drinks you depicted at the end of every school year. My grandpa gave me his old VCR when he bought a new one and I used it until it hit the dust. Saving up my allowance long enough to buy a new VCR was among the most difficult things I did in my childhood.
@introvme I had a waterbed for all but my final two years of childhood. Waterbeds were all the rage in the 80s and early 90s. The backing of the headboard was all bent from my clock radio cord. I even had an alarm clock ⏰ with a neon ring around the clock face. If only said neon ring hadn’t been blue I might have slept better leading up to the start of my parents having doctors dope me up.
@OhioMike My dad had a work-issued Nextel that he was allowed to bring home. The rapid beeping was a unique sound of the technology 😎
Vanilla Ice, High School, bright clothes.
I had Crystal Pepsi in 2016 on a limited re-release. My co-worker at the cable company was floored when we found it in the gas station. It was new to him cuz he was was basically a toddler on its original release.
If you did the 90’s right you don’t remember them at all
1) Ozbitz Soda - Don't know if it was just a Canadian thing or did you have it in the USofEh? My science teacher invested a bunch of money into it and it TANKED HARD!
2) POG The Game - Wasted a lot of paper route money on that. Still have them in storage somewhere at my parents place.
3) BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) and their Sysops - Pre Internet, had to keep buying new dial-up modems every couple of months as soon as a faster one was released
The national debt reminds me of the 90's. In the 90's, Ross Perot made the national debt a campaign issue In the 90's, television mocked Ross Perot for making the national debt a campaign issue. In the 90's, we eventually had some national surpluses, but not for long, and eventually soon after the 90's the national debt continued to grow.
Nextel which eventually was bought out by sprint was really amazing back then. I remember being on Las Vegas strip and direct connecting or two way to Ohio. A few years later I was on a cruise ship in Hawaii and same thing. In the 90s this was really amazing stuff 😊
