If you grew up in the '90s then scrolling through this Twitter thread will give you a serious case of nostalgia. Twitter user Melina threw together a hodgepodge of images of things we had completely forgotten about from our schooling days and let's just say, they took us on a little trip down memory lane.
At this point we can pretty conclusively say that there have been simpler times. So here are some memory-jogging images of things like toys and TV shows for people who grew up in the 90s and maybe a little bit into the early 00s. Hey man, it's something. And here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids.
The 90s was a great decade and if you grew up in those golden years, then these items will bring the childhood memories flooding back in. You weren't a true 90s kid if you didn't have at least half the things on this list, so go count and see how many were a part of your childhood!
There's something special about seeing a product or thing that you haven't thought about once in 20 years. There's something satisfying about those little "a-ha" moments you get from remembering a toy you used to have, a commercial you saw over and over again or seeing a twitter thread that takes a voyage through being in school in the 90s.
This is such a wonderful and beautiful way of celebrating memories and holding onto them forever.
Mary Macinnes has come up with this heartwarming idea and makes Teddy bears from old clothes of people's loved ones, including pets, to help people preserve their precious memories. In Macinnes own words, she sums up what is a 'Memory Bear,' "Memory Bears are special bears made from clothing that belonged to a special person in your life and a way to keep the essence of a loved one close by. They are comforting to children & adults and loved by those who appreciate the memorial tribute and connection to their loved on."
Macinnes usually spends 5-6 hours planning, cutting, creating & sewing each bear, and each one is beautiful and full of memories.
If you're still looking for that perfect gift to give for the holidays. or just in general, a memory bear would make quite a memorable gift.
When Internet sensation, Grumpy Cat, passed away few months ago, the world mourned over this comically expressive cat who had been the face of countless memes since she first appeared on a Reddit thread back in 2012. Now, months after her death, her memory is being honored on a street corner in Milwaukee by a group of local artists and we think it's beautiful! Story via: Cole & Marmalade
Time again to chase that nostalgia dragon's tail. Sometimes 90s nostalgia gets so much press that people overlook the older days, when toys were made of hard plastic, metal, and weren't fun. No matter who you are, you've probably had some experience with these relics of a time you'll never see again.

After this dude got his wisdom teeth pulled, his dad was left explaining to him what his life was like. He seems pretty excited about his situation. If only we could all be so enthusiastic about our lives every time we woke up.
