39 Very Specific Things From The '90s And 2000s That Millennials Haven't Thought About In Decades
If you're in your 20s or early 30s, you, my friend, were born during a very specific time. You grew up during the early days of the internet, the golden era of Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, and the middle of the shift from VHS to DVD. It was a time before smartphones, social media, and even things like iPods.

We had it good back then. If you're as nostalgic for that time as I am, then you *might* enjoy talking a little walk down memory lane to these incredibly specific things that might awaken memories you didn't know you had.
1. First, I gotta bring up this orange VHS of The Rugrats Movie. Incredible film, incredible packaging.
2. But it still wasn't as good as Rugrats: All Grown Up. No, I'm not talking about the series. I'm talking about the special Rugrats episode BEFORE the series' inception. The hype leading up to it...unparalleled.
4. Speaking of Nickelodeon and hype...Nickelodeon magazine was truly THE kids' publication of the early 2000s. You simply HAD to have a subscription.
12.Board games were just built differently back then. My personal favorite was the Harry Potter Adventures Through Hogwarts game where you literally had to build the castle and trade money.
18. Even better than board games were computer games! Putt Putt games were literally unparalleled.
I can't even decide which is better: Putt Putt Saves the Zoo or Putt Putt Goes to the Moon.
20. Ah, the high of rushing home to play Lemmings on the home computer.
21. You didn't even need a disc for some games! The world's best version of pinball was right in the computer.
22. As was Snood.
23. I didn't know how to play Minesweeper, but I sure had fun trying.
Never really understood how to play Minesweeper and just randomly clicked around/guessed. from nostalgia
25. And then, of course, there were online games. I still think I could waste hours on Toontown a day.
26. And I don't know what the point of Millsberry.com was, but darn if that wasn't the most fun cereal-based virtual world.
Millsberry.com — when General Mills thought giving kids a free online game would increase their cereal buying power from nostalgia
30.Even school was fun back then. You could spend your days drawing that one specific S in your textbooks.
