18 memories every 90s kid will instantly relate to
Many photos via nostalgia on Reddit.
1. The unmistakeable smell of these
2. Trying to get the balance right on these
Maybe if I just bend this wing slightl.. NOOOOOOO
3. What the inside of these felt like on your fingers
4. Coveting these
McDonalds Changeables, as they were officially known. Not that your mam would EVER take you to McDonalds.
5. The whirring sound of this game
6. The noise of these in full effect
And then the sound of having them immediately taken off you by your dad.
7. The mysterious yet powerful appeal of these
Or the female version, Polly Pocket. What did you do with them? Well… nothing, really. They just were.
8. Falling off these
I mean seriously.
9. Mashing the paddles on this with frightening violence
10. Making your own ‘radio shows’ on this

11. Stopping at traffic lights on this
12. ‘Smoking’ these
13. Getting these as prizes in school, and being VERY proud of them
14. Almost as proud as you were if you owned one of these.
(Before the crushing disappointment when you lost one of the nibs, and then the others wouldn’t work.)
15. This being the greatest test of human dexterity ever devised
16. Never admitting that you were slightly scared these would hit you in the face
17. Pretending this was your baby and/or beating your brother over the head with it
18. And finally, the gooey stuff that leaked from this guy’s arms when you stretched him too far.
Everything beautiful dies. :(
