Hey, millennials – have you walked around a toy aisle recently? I haven't, actually, but I do occasionally come across reels of popular toys that are sweeping the nation. It seems that these Gen Alpha kiddos are really into the whole "unboxing" thing. Collectible toys are packaged in boxes that do not give away their contents, but possible options are usually pictured on the side. Usually, kids select the one that they want, and then unbox the item to reveal whether or not they got what they wanted. At least these kids are learning to deal with the possibility of disappointment at an early age.

This isn't a totally new idea. We millennials were having similar experiences with sticker vending machines and McDonald's toys. So, what was trending in the 90s? You might recall having an Easy Bake Oven or a Furby, but do you remember the Yak Bak? If you're ready to take a walk down memory lane, scroll down to see some pictures of toys that you probably owned in the 90s.

  • We were so simple back then that these things were able to keep us entertained. I never remember purchasing one, they just appeared in my possession. They were probably given out as party favors at birthday parties.
