I remember the 90s as a Child and I'm glad to say I grew up outdoors playing on my swing, climbing up trees (and often causing an injury falling from them too). My parent's didn't feel the need to be overprotective and I could be outside the house playing on my roller blades for hours. While home I'd watch Cartoon Network Johnny Bravo, Animaniacs and Are You Afraid Of The were my favourites along with Baywatch, Dinsoaur (not the mama) and Gladiator on a Saturday Evening. I also wore out my VHS of Lion King I'd get pocket money to get Crisps, Sweets and fizzy drinks. Life in the '90s was pure bliss. ☺️

We sure do missed the old school Saturday morning cartoon shows.

I wish to go back to the 90s so bad. Good times😊😊

I miss the 90's sometimes. The cartoons back then was amazing. Born in 1991.

Born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s and I'm actually writing a novel partially-set in the 90s. Thanks for taking me down memory lane but also novel research! Thanks, WatchMojo :-)

I remember going to Blockbuster ALL THE TIME! I secretly kinda hoped it would be number one. There used to be a Blockbuster only 5 minutes away from my house so me and my family used to go there EVERY SINGLE WEEK until it closed down and I can’t even begin to tell you just how many of my favorite movies and TV shows that still hold true today I have discovered there from just browsing around through the countless hours we would spend there. We would usually spend anywhere from 30-60 minutes on average every time we went!

Born in 87, always loved growing up in the 90s 😘

Good times. Man…I would love to relive those moments.

Born in '86. My husband and I miss those days so much! We often just like talking about things from the 90s we did/were into. This was a fun trip down memory lane.

I still frequently think about my Tomogotchi. For my husband and I one of the best parts of having kids is being able to rewatch our favorite old cartoons with them ❤️ Duck Tales and Teen Titans go are the current favorites

Being born in 1988 and growing up in the 90s was amazing! I miss it terribly

I feel like we had the best of both worlds, we spent enough time outside playing with friends but also had cartoons and movies. I remember when I wasn't allowed to take my tamagotchi to school so my mom had to care for it at work, she got some weird looks from her colleagues lol

I was born in 1988 so my entire childhood is the 90s and what I loved were things like - playing with my friends outside, games like wallball, kickball, tag, hide and seek - playing videos games like Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. I still remember when the Nintendo 64 came out and everyone wanted one it was so mind blowing playing in 3D graphics for the first time - watching Power Rangers when it first aired and fighting over who was the green ranger and then white ranger lol - preferring Burger King over McDonald's, wanted to be part of the Burger King Kids Club and the fries back then were honestly the best I hated when they changed the recipe - fun toys like skip it, sooker boopers, giant water guns, boop it - wanting to be part of a boy band when we got older like Backstreet Boys and trying to perform like them lol - watching Jim Carrey movies - watching Hey Arnold, The Simpsons, Batman, XMen, Spiderman, Captain Planet, - wanting a Buzz Lightyear and Turbo Man doll - skating outside, riding out bikes - looking forward to book fairs at school - eating out favorite cereal on Saturday morning while watching cartoons and watching All That which was like our SNL Snick At Night - and honestly for us kids at the time we grew up just having fun getting along with one another, we didn't care about other race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender etc. We were innocent to all that, it seems like the more you try to have kids "aware" of it the more hate you create. If you take any lesson from us 90s kids know that you didn't need to teach us not to hate one another because we didn't. It's sad how kids are being to basically acknowledge others suffering only making them hate each other.

😎 👍 nostalgic 90's ♥️ feeling all warm and fuzzy inside 🥰💛

Anyone miss these times SO much? So much simpler

Such a golden age only 90's babies get to experience🤩

I stalked blockbuster for scream when it came out. I needed it for a slumber party. That pressure to come through was unbelievable.

OMG radio mix tapes 😊 when you got all the songs you wanted, oh the satisfaction 😘 kids now will never know this feeling

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

It feels good to know all these things. I had loved my Polly Pocket so much. Also, going to the movie store was how I ended up watching so many horror movies, never knowing how they would be, or if they were campy, B rated horror, or masterpieces.

My goodness, I miss the ‘90s.

My grandpa got my sister and me started with Beanie Babies! He had them on a bookshelf in his office, and Tabasco the Bull was the hardest one to get. I’m proud to be a 90s kid! Thank you for sharing this video!

as a 90s kid I remember doing all these things the nostalgia in this video is quite strong I wish I could go back to the 90s and just lice there forever

OMG 🤣🤣 trying to get songs off the radio and getting the time perfect so it sounded like it was made that way. Boy that was fun 🤣🤦‍♀️

Tamagotchi!! My Mom got one for me when I got my tonsils out. I was 16 so I wasn't into it! She told me the lady at the store said this is what the kids like lol.

Watching this just made me remember how much I looked forward to Saturday mornings because of “one Saturday morning” it played hey Arnold, recess, and Doug! I still can vaguely remember the song, it was like a really “twangy” almost blue grass and banjo style! Anyone else remember that?! I would wake up early every Saturday just to watch it 😭

Record songs from the Radio and Saturday morning cartoons, OMG, great memories in there.

I lived for TGIF! I miss Hanging with Mr. Cooper. And I still have some of my recorded-over cassettes.

My dad to this day says Tickle Me Elmo was the hardest gift he's ever had to get. My sister played with it so much I can still hear "hahahahahahaha that tickles".

I was born in 87. Boy Meets World was my favorite TGIF show. I still watch it on Disney+. I loved the Saturday morning cartoons and Polly Pockets were my favorite toys.

I loved my Saturday morning cartoons. But it’s definitely #1. One of the biggest moments in my childhood is mommy taking us to blockbuster to pick out a movie n getting the bucket of popcorn. Til this day I such a movie lover because of this🥰

Never heard of Orbit. In the 90s I was drinking Sobe. Cool to hear that it existed, but obviously if it was only on shelves for 6 months out of the entire 10 year span of the 90s I doubt every kid was scrambling to drink one. Everything else is spot on. I still have my digi pet.

I was born in 2000 but I grew up with so many of the 90s things I feel like I was there! although I do love and I'm glad that I had a taste of both generations. I think up until 2010 I had a 90s experience with no internet or technology beyond GBA and NDS and most their tv shows, but after 2010 I got a phone and internet and new gen shows and all that.

The 90's was my childhood. Polly pockets, blockbusters, tamagotchi, beanie babies, and Saturday morning cartoons. Macaroni, vh1 pop up videos.

Going to the video store was my favorite thing to do when I was a kid! Also I remember reading the TV Guide every Friday night to plan out my Saturday morning cartoons LOL

Lol. Don't have to tell me what us kids, did in the 90s. I was there. We would have more fun, than kids these days. We ACTUALLY went outside, played with friends, and even talked face to face. We did play our video games, but we were being kids.

MTV & vh1 still played MUSIC

I really missed watching old cartoons on Saturday Morning.

TY Beanie Babies was my freaking childhood!! TY maybe still around today but it can’t compete with the 90s! TY was more Authentic back then.

Being born in the 90’s, I remember having a tickle me elmo, I remember Saturday morning cartoons, I remember having a tamagotchi, I remember waiting for the internet, I had a collection of beanie babies, danced the Macarena and I had polly pockets I miss being a kid, I have so many fond memories :)

TY for this!!! I’m 35 & did all of these things… I wish I was raising my kids back then when life was simple!!!

My favorite 90's childhood nostalgia is Sailor Moon. The anime was and still is my jam. I have the dolls and VHS tapes. I'm a huge Moonie aka Sailor Moon fan.

I was born in 1990 so I was alive for the entire decade and I used to do just about everything that y'all mentioned in that video. I remember not letting my sister watch what she wanted to on Friday nights because I had to watch Boy Meets World. I killed my Tamagotchi one too many times, and I used to sleep with my Beanie Babies. Looking back now as a 32-year-old man, I miss so much about the 90s. Except for the slow Internet connection! Nobody misses that. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, WatchMojo.

TGIF and blockbuster so me in the 90's but after that line-up on TGIF would often have wonderful world of disney movies loved that part too

Dug out an old tamagachi that was confiscated at the school my mom worked at years ago. At the end of the year, many items were never retrieved by kids or parents. We landed up with a few of the items. My brother's kid who is now 8, decided she wanteded to play with it. She had known about it for a good few years and may be poked at it out of curiosity before now. But this time she is going full out and loving it. Though I did have to warn her, her pet only had about a week or so life span, due to how the tamagachi ate battries.

I did all these things and more! I loved a lot of these things too!! I miss the 90s

What a time to be alive !!!! I MISS THIS ERA !!! LIFE WAS SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE !!! LOVE WAS INSIDE THE HOME AND THERE WERE MEMORIES CREATED FROM HAVING TO GO OUTSIDE !!! Blockbuster was where I got all my demos out of the Bottom of the PlayStation magazines 💯💯💯💯💯 moms wasn’t buying all the games

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

Saturday morning cartoons were EVERYTHING, man I miss those times

I was 4 1/2 to 14 1/2 years old in the 90s making me a true 90s kids.

i remember watching full house & boy meets world with my mom every single friday. God those were good times ❤️ i also recently purchased yet another tamogotchi. i still can’t keep it alive.

This is already making me emosh because there’s just nothing like every childhood. If you couldn’t get it its alright that time was far fetched from what is currently going on. You just never forget it until its gone.

OMG my childhood!!!! I remember all of these things. (Born in 1988)

The glory days when life was so simple back then. Good times but those days are over. 🙂😔

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.

Oh yeah, I had a lot of these growing up as a kid. I had a Tickle Me Elmo and I remember my oldest niece and nephew playing with when they were little.

I was born in 84" lol watching this brings back good memories lol

As far as the TGIF , I instead watched Nick at Night pretty much all week. I remember having a Tamagotchi. I loved Saturday morning tv " mostly kids WB" , And I remember during my younger pc years I often had to wait for the my internet. fav childhood toy was a specific beanie baby. I was always renting from a blockbuster.

90s best years of my life

Awwww, Polly Pockets! Still have them in the attic. Every once in a while my sister in law (born the the same year as me) and I talk about them and our faces light up with happiness. Although I did not grow up in the US, most of these things on list were part in my 90’s childhood. Loved the cassette tapes, Saturday morning cartoons and renting movies….

Still Block Buster was still open over in the UK as I grew up during the 2000s prior to the 2010’s

I still remember watching TGIF on Fridy's on Channel 7 . I used to love watching Family Matters . I still remember having Dial Up internet and it went mad slow at Step 2 and sounded like a Faxx machine . I remember also going to Blockbuster to rent movies on Friday night . Asking my mom for the Blockbuster card .

My son was absolutely obsessed with pogs and Pokémon cards, I still have a few of his pogs in storage for him

I was born in 2001 - I do, in fact, remember Blockbuster. There was one less than 10 minutes from my house, and I still know exactly where it used to be!

Yessss... I loved the Orbitz!

Ah yes, I do miss those Saturday cartoons. 🤔

Okay, I don’t really consider myself a 90’s kid, (I was born in 1993) but I do remember A LOT of these. Especially Blockbuster. Ironically, I just recently brought up Blockbuster not too long ago in front of my sister, (she was born in 2004) and she literally asked me what is Blockbuster…she has no idea what Blockbuster was, nor even heard of it.

My siblings and I had quite the extensive collection of Beanie Babies. And Pogs. And listened to the haunting sounds of our Furby doll singing in the wee hours of the morning. 😅

I’m a 2001 kid and I love stuff from the 80s and 90s. Personally, I loved growing up in the Mid 2000s/early 2010s. Great times

Beanie Babies, absolutely!!! Blockbuster/Hollywood Video, 100%!!! But also, what about having a Furby, collecting Pokémon cards, and Gameboys?

I Love This VIDEO Brings Me Back To My Childhood I Miss The 90's ❤

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.

I was born in the 80’s. Man do I miss the 90’s

I love Magic Eye pictures! Anyone else pause the video at each one to try to solve it like I did? 😄 I actually have a collection of Magic Eye books including a Disney and Looney Tunes. 😀 Thanks for this flashback to my childhood!

Born in 1988. I miss the 90's so much!

What dude was saying about renting movies as a kid in the 90s , i feel ya bro

I used to love those Orbitz drinks... they didn't taste that bad lol... at least to me as a kid lol

I still have my Polly Pockets (and Star Castles too)! They're all in storage but I still have them.

I remember the Tamagotchi, everyone had them even here in Sweden, except ME

I llove the 90s! Watching saturday morning cartoons was my favorite thing.Dial up was the worst! especially cause someone would always be on the phone. I can't wait for the next video!

I bought Beanie Babies cuz I thought they were cute. Found out I had several rare ones and since I wasn’t obsessed with them sold most off at collector shows in my local mall. Some of those people were nuts I paid $5 per Beanie and sold 1 for $400 as well as several others for up to $100 a piece. I hope they’re happy with their purchases 🤷🏼‍♀️

God I miss the nostalgia of going into video stores but I don't miss having to do so in ORDER to watch movies. I definitely prefer streaming.

You guys are making me feel very old I showed my son this video and he looked at me like I was crazy 🤣🤣

Where I lived, the nearest block buster was 4 miles away so we would usually go to our local video rental store wich was pretty much the same thing. The 90s were so good.

RIP Boxbuster my fav place to rent video games and test them out before deciding on actually buying them. Not cable the highlight of my week would be Saturday morning watching cartoons trying not to wake my mom up.

this 5:05 magic eye pic is tricky to get until you find the right spot to focus and btw, its not a sailboat!

I remember when Tamagotchi came out with their special edition Star Wars pets. I kept that Rancor alive and well fed with all the pig men I dropped down into the pit.

I was never allowed to drink Orbitz, but we also weren't allowed to drink pop much, so that was probably the primary reason. Also I remember as a freshly graduated college student when Blockbusters were shutting down and some were selling videos and furniture for purchase. 😞

TGIF, taping songs off the radio, renting movies at the video store. and Saturday morning cartoons. We didn’t have a computer in my home growing up so I didn’t 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 didn’t try to kill each other over the TV remote. I’m not kidding about that. Either.

I remember ever Saturday morning I always wake up and watch 4Kids tv until my music class. I really miss those Saturday morning cartoons

I think taking care of Furbies should have been included on here! So many of us 90’s kids had them! Being a part of the generation of kids who got to see the vast majority of the Disney Renaissance films in theaters was another! Heck, the Pokémon phenomenon should have been on here! I wish to this day that I still had my Pokémon cards! Perhaps more infamous rather than famous, but it was us 90’s kids who began our early childhood memories with Barney the Dinosaur… With the release of their new movie and two seasons, I think watching Beavis and Butt-Head should be on the list too! My twin and I were way too young to be allowed to watch it, but my mom absolutely loved them! As for what is on here, going to Blockbuster was always exciting! Our dad would take us on the weekend and we’d rent one VHS for the week! Another thing about the slow internet of our generation was Baby Cha-Cha! Anyone remember him? My mom still has a poster with him on it! I think she won it during a WEBN radio contest! Those 3D pictures were definitely big in my elementary school! I was almost always one of the few kids who could solve them each time our 5th grade science teacher would put up a new one! Despite being my identical twin, my sister was not quite as good at them as I was! We both definitely enjoyed our Saturday morning cartoons too! We had the best cartoons overall, for sure! Road Rovers, Animaniacs, the Angry Beavers, Rugrats, Goof Troop, and Chip n’ Dale Rescue Rangers, just to name a few! Our brother worshipped his Tamagotchi and hated my mom for weeks for “killing” it after he went out of town over the weekend and she forgot to feed it. Considering that she was a housewife raising a set of twin girls at the time, taking care of another “baby” was out of the question. I wish we could go back to the 90’s and relive the best years of our lives! For me and my sister, that would be going over our cousins’ house to swim and play the Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2 mini games every single summer! Riding bikes after the Saturday morning cartoons ended! Playing the fun learning computer games our parents bought us (the best ones were Lil’ Howie’s Funhouse and Putt-Putt Goes To the Moon)! No work, all play! Nothing beats being a 90’s kid!

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.

I had a teacher in 97, who would give dentitions if we touched our Tamagotchi. After most of our poor Tamagotchi's died in her class, we would start getting our friends from other classes to take them during her class. I remember talking back, saying that my mom wouldn't get me a pet till I went a week without killing my Tamagotchi. I was 13 so being a smartass was a normal occurrence for me.

I was born in 1989 and I remember going to video king growing up in the 90s was so much fun how I miss those days I Rembrandt going to McDonald’s and playing on the indoor playground.

I collected beanie babies! I sold loads but kept a few and bought two replacements of the first two I ever had.

A big one that didn’t 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 used to go to Blockbuster or Hollywood Video with my Dad every weekend

I still have the original tomagotchi & it still works! I’m 61 now & im sure one of my kids could get $ for it in 20 yrs! I also have beanie babies I saved from back then .
