34 things every '90s kid remembers

The Scholastic Book Fair was one of the most anticipated events of the school year. Even kids who didn't like reading remember the joy of leaving class to poke around the book shelves with friends.

Found in 1995, it appears these fairs are still going strong.

Everything and anything Lisa Frank made you one of the cool kids. They say history repeats itself, so maybe the unicorn trend is just a Lisa Frank folder in food form. 

Something so simple and made of plastic seemed like such a big ask for Christmas or your birthday. This trend wasn't very well thought out given the fact that these chairs were totally uncomfortable and ended up being where you put your dirty laundry. 

Not entirely convinced that Picasso had anything on the bead lizards and lanyard creations made by kids in the '90s. 

These scooters were the absolute worst part of gym class if you weren't super athletic. Plus if you rammed into another kid sideways, you likely smashed your fingers.

If only I had a gel pen for every gel pen that ran out of ink when I really needed it. 

With scents like blueberry and banana, all kids were guilty of sniffing these markers.

This gem originally came out in 1958, but was reintroduced in 1993. Having this box of crayons was one of the many 'cool kid' status symbols in the '90s.  

JanSport updated their old leather-bottom style bags and came out with the Right Pack in 1990 which is similar to the 1984 SuperBreak bag.

The style must resonate with students because kids are still toting the classic design today.  

You also probably spent all of your tokens at the arcade on a few of these. 

Those with, and without, real animals at home are guilty of loving their Tamogatchi more than their actual pets. 

HitClips were a surefire way to make sure that you listened to a song until you were truly sick of it. 

Didn't you just love the fact that you had to go to the trunk to switch CDs in your car? '90s kids will tell kids today that they're positively spoiled with the instant gratification of modern technology.

Collecting Pogs in the '90s was essentially like saving memes today. They always had something to do with the culture of the times, from famous basketball players to new movies coming out.

Before people were excited about HD images and pixels, we were excited about ~color~.  

Another cool kid status symbol — a pencil box. This is an example of what people mean when they say to "enjoy the little things."

When your mom was on the phone but you wanted to play on the computer, this is what you played. 

Another dumb thing that '90s kids used to do was determine the future based off of paper and pencil. I remember my MASH results were always along the lines of living in a shack, driving a punch buggy car, and working as a magazine writer. So not totally inaccurate.  

My school never allowed us to use any color besides black or blue, so having this pen was kind of pointless. 

"Be kind and rewind" actually means something to you. 

You loved chokers before they became cool again. 

There are too many great '90s snacks to name. Fruit Gushers hold a special place in my heart, and shout out to my other true loves: Kudos bars, Dunkaroos, and Bagel Bites. 

No one ever came back from vacation without one of these necklaces. 

You felt invincible when you put on your bright windbreaker. 

Before they were banned, Moon Shoes were the way you planned on visiting E.T.   

The new toy was very problematic, with some parents thinking it encouraged violence between children. Eventually, the name was changed from "Sock'em Boppers" to "Socker Boppers." 

There's a reason it's the highest grossing basketball film of all time. 

Furbies, which first appeared in 1998, were way better than any other speaking toy you had. 

I'm not sure why these were deemed cool, but they were eventually deemed too dangerous for kids. 

Whether you had the off-brand version or the actual Skip-It, this toy kept you entertained for hours. 

In 1993, the world went crazy for Beanie Babies — small, plush animals by toy company Ty. But then the Beanie Baby bubble burst.

Space Cadet is another great game that became popular in the '90s! When you got bored with Minesweeper, this is what you played.   

Your favorite music/pop culture show, TRL, premiered in the late '90s. 

If you bought or ate from paper plates in the '90s, chances are you recognize the Jazz design. Jazz's creator, Gina Ekiss, was finally recognized for her creation in 2015.
