15 Things All 90s Kids Hope To Never Suffer Through Again
Growing up in the 90s had a pretty unique set of stressful situations. Sure, it was never life or death, but sometimes it really felt like it.
90s kids experienced their own struggles, ones that kids today wouldn't understand at all. They have their own problems, sure, but ours were pretty much the worst. I mean, of course we think that because they were our problems, but still!
Check out the problems and see if any of these sound familiar:
You lost your favorite Lip Smacker and can't find it in store anymore
When your bangs or your bowl get cut uneven and now it'll take weeks to even out OR you have to cut it even shorter
You forgot it was picture day and didn't wear the cute outfit you were supposed to
You missed the newest episode of your favorite show and now you have no idea when you will ever be able to see it again
Having to see the same commercials for the N64 over and over again even though your parents already said you can't have one
Going to your friend's house to play Nintendo, but then they get bored because they play it all the time
When Koolaid stopped making the flavor you liked
When you weren't allowed to check on your Tamagotchi until recess and it died
And that wasn't all we had to deal with...
The pain that we felt when those hair elastics with the plastic beads would break and snap into your head
Any time your parents forced you to wear an outfit
The disappointment you would feel when Santa wouldn't follow your Wish Book Christmas list
How quickly you became annoyed with the Barney "I Love You" song
When you would get home from Blockbuster or whatever video store you went to, only to realize that the person before you was not kind and did not rewind
Or worse, that it was the wrong tape
The true friendship test that would be whether your best friend liked the same boy band as you
How many of these things you remember dealing with as a kid?

Reptar Bars Are Back And They Are The "Superist" And The "Duperist" Versions Yet
Everyone remembers watching Rugrats as a kid, right? It was only the best kids' show ever. Those "dumb babies" as Angelica Pickles would say were a lot more clever than they let on, and in their many adventures they inspired us kids to believe that we could do anything. I mean, we don't have to question how or why a baby keeps a screwdriver in his diaper, because the logistics of where he got it or how he keeps it in there without hurting himself is beyond me, but that's not what matters here. What does matter is that these
Trix Cereal Is Finally Going Back To Their Classic Look And We Cannot Wait
Who else remembers eating a big ol' bowl full of Trix cereal in the morning before packing your lunch and heading off to school? Trix was the perfect cereal to eat, because a lot of us felt like we were tricking our parents into thinking it was healthy. Sure, we're eating sugary cereal, but it's fruit-flavored so obviously it's not as bad as Cocoa Puffs or something. Boy, were we wrong. Well, now we're all old enough not to care, we can eat sugary cereal if we want because guess what, cereal is delicious. But there's been one thing missing
Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It
Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and
Lip Smacker's New Christmas Collection Brings Back Your 90s Favorites. All Of Them.
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have
