A blog dedicated to the best toys of the 1990s
1. Tooty Frooties
Fruit chews in five flavors:lemon, apple, orange, blackcurrant and strawberry. The green ones were always that last to go.
2. Flumps
Not just a kids tv programme, also a soft marshmallow rope-like sweet that could be picked up in a similar manner to oakum in hard labour camps.
3. Wham Bars
Long, pink and sticky interspersed […]
1. Ecstasy
This drug was first created by Fritz Hander in 1891 but sadly no actual human got to try it until 1959. It was in the early 1990s that the drug started to gain recreational popularity as part of the rave culture in the UK and Europe. The drug led to evolution of dance music […]
Music and fashion were important to many during the 1990’s but for the more geekier elements of society it was video games that set the scene.

What few people […]
Webster defines the yo-yo as being a spool-like toy with a string attached to the pin holding its two halves together, and in the twenty-five hundred years that it has been around, it hasn’t changed much. The first yo-yos were originated in ancient China. In ancient Greece, they were more than likely a children’s toy, […]
Maybe this is not a 1990’s thing but one thing that I remember from my childhood was the slider burger. You look around today and it was like it never existed. So I have created a blog post all about the great “Slider Burger”!

Mr. Potato Head Toys from the 1950’s
Mr. Potato Head was born in 1952! He met and married Mrs. Potato Head in 1953 and they promptly had a Baby Potato Head. In the beginning, you had to supply your own potato (or other vegetable). The sets included bodies without heads, shoes, arm, eyes, noses, ears, hats, […]
Things fall all the time. It’s the gravity thing. But every once in a while something tumbles and someone notices and the world is never the same. Take Newton’s apple.
