A Facebook Page for 80s and 90s kids

You left the TV on. We kept the tape running.

The Saturday morning lineup, the cereal prize, the VHS preview, and the toy you circled in the catalog. We post the stuff we actually grew up with, then ask you to settle the important questions.

About

A Page for the stuff we actually remember.

A Facebook Page for 80s and 90s kids. Cartoon intros, cereal prizes, VHS previews, toy catalogs, and the arguments that never got settled.

Settle it

Some debates never got resolved on the playground. The cereal prize one still has not.

Fill in the blank

A line, a blank, and a memory you did not know was still there.

Tag your sibling

Every family had one kid who got the better toy. This is your chance to bring it up again.

Bring it back or leave it

Some things deserve a comeback. Some deserve to stay in the past with the rectangle tray.

The conversation continues on Facebook

Bring your best bad opinion.
