Millennials Will Definitely Remember These Things

Millennials are defined as anyone born between 1981 and 1996. We get a lot of heat for ruining basically everything but really all we want to do is escape from the pressures of adulting by seeking comfort in the memories of our childhood.

If you’re a Millennial looking for a moment of escape, see if you remember these 13 things that contributed to Millennial childhood experience.

1. So satisfying:

Like returning a library book.

2. Ah, youth:

Field trips = school sanctioned adventures.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. I’m parched:

These will go great with our Hercules plates.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Idk about this one:

I remember the texture of these being…weird.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. I still miss this:

The best phones have physical keyboards.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. The good old days:

Back when the playground equipment could give you splinters for days…

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Simpler times:

…and building with these bricks made you feel super strong.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Try blowing on it:

Do you see a scratch?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Why don’t we still have this?

Forget ball pits! I want to race Mario carts!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Ice, ice baby:

Stay frosty.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. The evolution of the mixtape:

And the best gift for your current crush.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

12. Let there be light:

There once was a time where not every device was backlit.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

13. I can’t explain it:

But I remember.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Ah, that’s better. As Millennials we get a bad rap, but honestly, I think we’re lucky. We were lucky to grow up when we did. We got to experience the world before and after the turn of the millennium, and the rise of social media. And no matter how stressful life gets, we’ll always have those memories to keep us going.

Which one of these memories gives you the warm fuzzies? Let us know in the comments!

Things That Millennials Did for the Last Time

Where are all the Millennials at? Gen Y (as in “Why were we dealt this crappy hand?”) is in the house.

Only true Millennials can appreciate these 11 things Millennials did, that we will never do again. In some cases, for the better, in others…well, let’s just say kids today can’t appreciate how much simpler things were back in the day.

1. Take the packaging off of a brand new CD:

Such a satisfying feeling. That plastic was slippery.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

2. Play outside with friends:

A little part of me just died inside.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Replace dead batteries w/ partially used batteries:

You want to get your moneys worth!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Log into AIM:

*sound of a door opening*

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Log into Myspace:

Who’s in your top 8?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Use T9 to send a text:

I don’t miss this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Find a toy in your box of cereal:

When did plastic spoons that change color in milk stop being cool?!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Burn a Mix CD:

Mix CDs were the best gifts.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Print out your MapQuest directions:

Mom wouldn’t let me leave home without this.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Watch a VHS tape:

Jokes on you! I still have all of my bootleg VHS tapes!

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. REWIND that VHS tape:

True dat.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Now I’m feeling all the feels.

You whipper snappers may have Disney+ but I had an entire collection of bootleg VHS tapes. Pus Myspace wasn’t nearly as addictive as social media is today, and you certainly didn’t want your parents getting one. Ah, oh well. At least we have the memories.

My fellow Millennials, which one of these do you relate to most?

Tweets That Wax Nostalgic for Old School Pizza Hut

2020 has unexpectedly given us time to look back at things we miss from childhood, and Pizza Hut as it used to be is one of them.

Yes, Pizza Hut is very much is still in existence. However, in decades past, it was a sit-down restaurant that was more slow service than fast food. Come with us to remember the sights, sounds, and smells of sizzling pizza in a cast iron pan, and ice-cold Pepsi, a yummy salad bar and hours of video game fun.

Let’s start with this delicious legend:

The restaurants looked a lot different.

We’d kill for one of these lamps!

They gave off that old school Italian restaurant vibe.

We can almost taste the macaroni salad side—yum!

These glasses kept your Pepsi extra cold too.

He’s right; it had a certain unforgettable taste to it.

Pizza Hut taught some of us how to read.

If you want to teach kids to read today, this is the way to do it!

You got a serious bang for your buck.

And all the video games you could possibly stand.

People that haven’t experienced old school Pizza Hut don’t know what they’re missing.

Even today’s Pizza Hut agrees. You know what you have to do guys!

There are so many things like this that we miss, we don’t even know where to begin. Wouldn’t it be great to revisit Pizza Hut as it was just one more time?

What are some places you’re nostalgic for? Let us know in the comments below!

‘Supermarket Sweep’ Is Back on Netflix and Viewers Are Feeling It!

2020 hasn’t been the best year, and we’re all craving some nostalgia.

Even a simple trip to the supermarket as it used to be would be something to look forward to, so it’s no wonder that Supermarket Sweep is back!

That’s right kids! Your favorite game show where you guess how much groceries cost… it’s back in all of it’s nostalgic glory!

And mo, it’s not a reboot—the show from the early 1990s that you remember is airing once again on Netflix. Maybe it’s the big hair or the cheap groceries, but whatever it is, viewers can’t get enough and are talking about it non-stop on social media.

The idea for the game goes back to the 1960s.

Supermarket Sweep has teams of contestants answer trivia questions and run around a grocery store, collecting as many high-priced items as possible. Netflix has so far offered up one season of the show from 1993, which is easy to binge-watch in an afternoon, as the episodes are only about 20 minutes long.

The very first run of the show aired in 1965 before popping up again in its early ’90s incarnation. It was revived yet again in the early 2000s, and a new version of the show hosted by SNL’s Leslie Jones was about to film in 2020 when everything was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of course, we’ll have to wait for that, so the run from 1993 will have to suffice. To be honest, if Netflix were to air the other seasons, including those from the 1960s, we wouldn’t mind that at all. (Hint, hint.)

Which game shows would you like to see rebooted? Let us know in the comments below!

Memes About the 1990s That Should Make You Feel Very Nostalgic

When it was happening, I didn’t think the 1990s were a great time to grow up, but in hindsight, it was pretty awesome.

Good music, good movies, good TV shows, and the world wasn’t totally on fire yet. At least for the most part.

Looking back on it, that decade really does seem like a more innocent time and I, for one, miss those days.

Let’s enjoy some memes about that glorious decade that will make you sit back and remember the good old days.

If You Remember the 1990s, These Posts Are for You!

Growing up in the ’90s was the last real era where everyone wasn’t connected to the whole world every second of the day.

No cell phones or social media meant that you had to venture out on a Friday night and just see what was happening and hopefully you’d run into your friends and happen upon something fun.

Things are so different now that it’s sometimes hard to fathom what it was like.

It really was a great time!

Are you ready for some major 1990s nostalgia?

Let’s do it!

1. What a letdown that was!

And it happened all the time…

9. This is very interesting.

Wait, what?

10. A totally different ballgame.

Let kids be kids!

Photo Credit: someecards

11. A lot of legwork.

And that was just the beginning…

The nostalgia just came flooding back in a major way.

How about you?

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of ‘My So-Called Life’ with These 10 Facts

Believe it or not, it’s been 25 years since the still-popular TV show My So-Called Life, a heartfelt portrayal of the struggles of mid-1990s teenagers and their families, debuted on ABC.

While the show only lasted for 19 episodes, from August 25, 1994, until January 26, 1995, My So-Called Life left a permanent mark on pop culture history.

Here are 10 facts about the show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its premiere.

1. Alicia Silverstone was almost in the mix

Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Thursday, August 9, 2018

1990’s “It Girl” Alicia Silverstone almost played the lead role of Angela Chase, which eventually went to Claire Danes. Silverstone was deemed to be “too pretty” by Marshall Herskovitz, one of the executive producers of the show. He felt the character of Angela was too confused and awkward and Silverstone wasn’t the perfect fit for the role.

2. A big first

Photo Credit: ABC

The character of Rickie Vasquez (played by Wilson Cruz) was the first openly gay teenager on American network television.

3. A different Jordan?

Photo Credit: ABC

Jared Leto almost turned down the role of Jordan Catalano. The character was only supposed to appear in the pilot episode, but the producers realized they had something special with Leto and decided to make him a continuing character.

At the time, however, Leto was considering going to art school instead of acting, so he almost turned down the role. Good move.

4. Where’s Tino?

Photo Credit: ABC

There is a running joke in the series about a character named Tino, who is mentioned over and over again, but is never seen.

5. A real school

Photo Credit: Wikipedia

Although the show takes place in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the show was actually shot at a real high school in Los Angeles: University High School

6. Voiceovers

Photo Credit: ABC

Only two episodes in the series didn’t feature voiceovers by Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes. They were “Weekend,” which Danielle Chase narrated, and “Life of Brian,” which Brian Krakow narrated.

7. Save the show!

Fans were so rabid about My So-Called Life that they teamed up to try to save the show from being canceled. Operation Life Support was the first online fan campaign launched to try to save a TV show. ABC received thousands of letters from fans, but the show was ultimately canceled after 19 episodes.

8. Award winner

Photo Credit: ABC

Claire Danes won a Golden Globe award for her role as Angela Chase for Best Actress in a Drama Television Series. She was only 15 years old at the time.

9. Best Dad Ever

Photo Credit: ABC

Graham Chase (played by Tom Irwin) was named one of TV Guide’s “Top 50 TV Dads of All Time.” Not too shabby.

10. Tough competition

Photo Credit: ABC

My So-Called Life was praised by critics, but the low ratings the show received ultimately sank the whole thing. Part of the issue was the competitive time slot the show was placed in – it aired on Thursday nights at 8pm EST, up against FriendsMad About You, and Martin.
