I remember every single one of these except the Orbitz drink. I have seen this drink constantly on lists of things from the 90's that should make a comeback but I never saw them when they originally were in stores. My favorite part of this video has to be the Beanie Babies. I had quite a few when I was a kid. My parents would send me care packages every once and a while when I was at sleepaway camp and there would almost always be a new Beanie Baby inside. When I first started to collect them, I didn't know two things: 1. The tags were vitally important to the overall value of them and in some cases the total value of the Beanie Babies and 2. each one comes with its own name inside the tag. I used to name the first few I had. My parents also got me the Beanie Baby Handbook in the late 90's and I can remember the countless hours I spent going through each and ever page with a fine tooth comb to make sure I either did or didn't have an particularly rare one like with an error or something. Sadly, most if not all of mine were only worth maybe an additional $10 more than it was sold for just because of how long it had been in stores and not because of some rare defect or it being the first version of the animal. I couldn't believe how much some of the error ones or limited editions (Princess Diana tribute bear I'm talking to you) were worth back in those days. Some could have been worth upwards of $10, 000 or more. I now wish I had kept them for nostalgia purposes since they really aren't worth anything anymore.

TGIF, taping songs off the radio, renting movies at the video store. and Saturday morning cartoons.
We didnt have a computer in my home growing up so I didnt really use a lot of it until I got to college. Use some of the Internet in high school. And I was too old for a tickle me Elmo.
Oh yeah, had some beanie babies.
We only had one TV for most of my growing up years, and Friday night TGIF was the only time my brother and I didnt try to kill each other over the TV remote. Im not kidding about that. Either.

Born in 1991, but I can say that I have experienced some of these things. First, my sister, who's in her late 20s, now wanted and got a Tickle-Me Elmo doll. My Mom had to fight to get her hands on one. I wasn't always good with the Macarena, but I'm a bit of an expert on that dance nowadays. As a kid, I lived nearby a Blockbuster, and not only did we rent movies but also video games. Mainly the N64 games. There are others from here I've experienced as well, but it will make this comment too long than it already is lol.

Nowadays ruined are appreciation for being patient waiting for a movie or show. Now you literally can watch anything right away. Not waiting all day or week or year to watch something. I remember when a movie was in theaters you couldnt watch it on video until a year later. Plus the amount of stuff to watch is so small compared to nowadays. Even if you didn't watch something you still knew about it. There's so much stuff nowadays you would never know all that's out their.

My children will never know the trauma that was the early days of the internet. We could not talk on the phone while using it. We had to sacrifice a robot to the Internet gods and listen to it scream in order to check our email. We had to wait what felt like forever just to look at one picturethey will never know that pain. And Im glad for it. Because we sacrificed enough robots in order to appease the Internet gods. Which is why the robots are trying to rise up.

Being born in 85 i used to wish i was born maybe 20 years earlier but it didn't take long for me to realize that there was no better time in history to be a kid then in the 90s. the toys, kids movies, cartoons, Saturday morning cartoons, the best Disney movies, the video games. the candy, food and cereal. the music. no bias the 90s was the greatest decade of all time to be a kid

For my family, renting movies from either Blockbuster or Movie Gallery was special. If it was a really special time, we might rent a few movies, usually one for dad, one for mom, one for me and a new release for all of us and then go get one of the KFC family meals and eat that while we watched the movies. Special memories.

A big one that didnt make the list: played with Pogs.
These were huge at school; we played with them at recess when we had to stay inside because of inclement weather. My school banned them after a kid broke a window with a metal slammer.

I remember about renting a movie and there where one I really wanted to see at the weekend but when I was going to rent it all of them were already taking by others so I had to wait for it, forget about it or find a friend who had it

This is already making me emosh because theres just nothing like every childhood. If you couldnt get it its alright that time was far fetched from what is currently going on. You just never forget it until its gone.

Orbitz drinks taste like ass. POGS, Nintendo/Sega, arcades, Saturday morning's. The 90's were badass. Never could raise my Gigapets Lost World: Jurassic Park Baby T-Rex into adulthood.

I had never heard of Orbitz, other than the gum a decade later. Was this ever sold in the US? Considering how popular boba tea is today, I imagine it would be successful now.

Yeah the 90s were pretty awesome actually, except for those horrible pictures everyone were staring at, I was one of the people who never saw a thing in a single one.

Rented movies at Blockbuster, listened to music on your cassette player, watched cartoons on Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, Waited a long time for Windows 95 to do anything

Loved the list!
My only complaint is Ive never heard of that drink that was featured.
Should have been switched out to feature something like Mondo drinks or Fruitopia.

Was so excited when Orbitz came out. Don't think I could even get through my first bottle, the chunks were so off putting. And beanie babies were $10, not $5.
