We had Beanie Babies! And Tamagotchis! And the Scholastic Book Fair!

This ice cream tasted like garbage:Or maybe you’re just thinking about the piece of wood you used to eat it. Admit it: You remember what that stick tasted like more than you remember the ice cream, don’t you?

"Cup of Dirt" is not as good as you think, either.Oreos? Good. Chocolate pudding? Good. But the addition of fruit-flavored gummy worms?! No. That was a bad move.

Take a good look at this rug.You probably had this rug in your room. Everyone had this rug in their room. But I’m willing to bet you never played with it.

These candies absolutely wrecked your mouth.Your mouth is watering just thinking about them, huh? Well, just don’t forget how much they hurt you

These drink bottles were never *totally* clean.Put apple juice in them once, and every beverage you put in them until the end of time would have a distinct apple flavor.

These gym class pinnies?They were never washed. Ever. Not even once. And you wore them often.

These pencils were legit the worst.As soon as you lost one little piece (which happened approximately 2.5 minutes after you took it out of your desk), the entire pencil was completely useless. But that didn’t stop you from wanting one, did it?

These sand art things always looked really cool.For about 12 minutes. After that, they got mixed up and looked terrible

These things were really fun...For about 10 throws. After that, the Velcro stopped working and the ball just bounced off your hands, rendering the entire toy completely useless.

These things were serious death traps:Do all gym teachers naturally hate kids? I can’t really think of a reason to bring these rolling finger torture devices out unless that’s the case.

This map your teachers always referenced?Yeah, it’s pretty darn out-of-date these days. Since the year 1990, 34 new countries have been created!

Trix cereal doesn't look like this anymore:And it most likely never will again. (If you haven’t seen Trix lately, all the pieces are just spherical. No fun fruit shapes.)

And remember Froot Loops?They’re all the same flavor. Your entire life is a lie.

You never won this game:Because no one ever won this game. Because this game was impossible.

You probably looked forward to playing with these pattern blocks.But think about it. What did you actually do with them? Were they actually entertaining? Or is it perhaps possible that you just think they were cool because they are a vestige of your ever-increasingly distant childhood?

You probably think you loved playgrounds like these, right?Wrong. They always had bees in them. Also? Splinters. This next one might be a little controversial.

You're probably convinced that you could have completed the monkey statue on Legends of the Hidden Temple.But honestly? You probably would not have been able to do that.

Your family probably either had these chairs or the lounger version:Either way, if it rained even one time the whole summer, these chairs were soggy for the rest of the season. And if you did have the lounger version, you know the struggle of trying to *click* the back into the exact right position only to have it completely collapse on you as soon as you leaned against it.
