Pandora - Trust Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j19Pv0uEb9I I really miss the decade of cream colored consumer electronics. It was a magical time. We've already had our "vintage" 1960's glasses and crappy "vintage" jpegs phase, so now I'm really hoping that a massive 90's nostalgia wave happens in the next few years.

Prior to the yo quiero taco bell chihuahua capturing the hearts and minds of the nation, Taco Bell -briefly- employed the lovable scamps and nicktoons derivative Nacho and Dog as its means of making it products more appealing to children. I don't think they really did anything except sit on the couch eating high sodium foodstuffs, or talk about leaving the couch to procure high sodium foodstuffs. No one remembers them, they don't even have an internet nostalgia presence. Many of my friends were employed by Taco Bell during their tenure as corporate mascots, however, so I remember. In fact, the other day I made some really amazing nachos and I had a pack of hotdogs in the fridge. To honor their memory, I made Nacho and Dogs.

More nostalgic than campy, but whatever: Mystery Science Theater 3000 was still in its original run with Joel, and it was on Comedy Central at midnight on Fridays. I'd laugh my rear end of at references that were way over my head, but didn't care. Dr. Demento was still on 97.3 KBCO (sup Denver goons) at midnight after the Red Rooster Lounge jazz show. I still have a shoebox of taped shows somewhere. Hanggliding in Pilotwings on SNES was infuriating. Cross Colors clothing was ridiculous. Understanding only vaguely what being down with OPP was as an early teen.

gently caress yeah, Nacho and Dog. I totally remember the commercials they were in, but I couldn't for the life of me remember their names. I just knew that at the end of every ad, the Taco Bell "bell ring" noise would play and they'd both yell "DOOONNNNG". Look, here's a commercial! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_BO-JxscM8 This thread is such a great nostalgia trip so far.

Here's something that I bet very few people remember. Motherfuckin' "Yikes" pencils. These things were the poo poo when I was a kid. They came in all kinds of patterns and colors, but the ones most popular for me were these:  If I recall correctly, they sharpened poorly and were poo poo to write with, but that funky oversize eraser on the end of it just made up for it all. They came in packs of four and I remember the picture on the front was a cartoon of some dreadlocked dude, surrounded by cheesy 90's slang stuff ("kickin' erasers blast pencil trash!") in the aforementioned "scribble" writing font. I just did some searches for them and there's an unopened pack on Ebay going for $50. Holy crap.

I think I had some of these! I had triangular ones so they wouldn't roll off your desk, and the wood was dyed fun colors! In particular I remember one with purple wood and a black label (my favorite) and orange wood with a green label. e: also, Lunchables anyone? You were literally the coolest kid if you had a lunchable you could barter with at lunch. I would always trade Capri Suns to get an orange one (because gently caress cherry is why) and chomp all my delicious cold pizzas in ecstasy. those pepperoni double e: this was my exact poo poo c. 1996:

Owl Island posted:Here's something that I bet very few people remember. These didn't sharpen poorly, you just had to use the handheld style razor blade sharpeners. The grindy school sharpeners would gently caress them up royally, but the razor ones made them the finest in non mechanical pencil technology (I loved the ones in that picture too). The attached erasers sucked though, which is probably intentional so they could sell the other ones. Is there a company making ridiculous school utensils anymore? Those were sort of an essential part of childhood. As for Lunchables, the pizza ones were good, and still around and almost as good. They're slightly smaller than they used to be, and I get one every couple years so I don't think this is just a case of me growing up and misremembering, but I've had a ridiculous need to eat one of these lately  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U87PGVnx1c4 (commercial) They weren't exactly good...but damned if I didn't like them and want one now that they're discontinued.

Nothing like outdated CG graphics to remind me of the mid-to-late 90s. Case in point: motherfucking ReBoot. Pretty much nothing else looked like it at the time and it blew my little mind away way back then. Yeah, everyone looked and moved like they were made of plastic but I gave no gently caress. It's one of the first computer animated TV series ever made, before this CG was usually limited to smaller productions like short films, since it's so incredibly difficult to make at the time. Speaking of which:  These were great. They'd be little filler clips between shows and during commercial breaks and they were fascinating to watch.

By "good" I mean the batshit insane ones like this...  Even as a kid, I thought these tasted terrible, but I would still ask for them just on novelty alone. I ate some on a cross-country bus ride and ended up coughing up stomach acid in my sleep that night. I'm pretty sure the two weren't related.

I'm gonna keep posting about N64 games because that's what I know best. Who else loved them some Space Station Silicon Valley? This game was innovative as poo poo. The graphics are meh, but the sountrack and the gameplay were loving fun as poo poo. You could control literally any animal you saw, and you got different special powers depending on which one you were. And it was awesome. And the whole soundtrack was this ridiculous 60s sounding lounge music that just kicked rear end. I played so much of this game. The peak of the 90s' cultural rehashing in one video game. Serious Nickelodeon Question: What was the scariest episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? If you say anything other than the pool episode or the dollhouse episode, you are empirically wrong.

Oh hell, does anyone remember a certain memory toy back in the 90's? There were numbers on these different colored pillar things that were stuck on a blue ball. When the little voice said the number or the color, you had to flip it upwards and such. I played the ever living poo poo out of that thing and I can't remember what the hell it was called. Can anyone help?  Commercial had a silver brain or some poo poo.
