Waaazzzaaaap
That ad campaign started in 99, its really more of a 2000’s thing.
Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90’s 😆
The 90s were from 1995 to 2005. That’s just my opinion. I know it sounds dumb. Many things from 1990 to 1994 feel like the 80’s.

Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.
As a European, that’s indeed how I interpreted this.
Hahaha that’s the first thing that popped in my mind! 😂
Here in the Netherlands I never heard of it!
Rad! Thanks :)

Winamp.

Baaaahhh!!!
I still use Winamp regularly.

Skins for winamp!
Y2K.
I survived idiocy of managers asking for Y2K compliant padlocks. As in, physical padlocks.
Hope you charged them double.
“We gotta get the Locksmith to come out and replace the microchips. Yeah, it’s going to be expensive but worth it”
Please tell us they did this… 😂
I mean, I wasn’t in charge of getting them, but learning about it was painful enough. I was young, and faith in humanity hadn’t been burned out of me yet.
Encarta
I remember this from the school library computers. That and even back then the school had some kind of broadband, it blew my mind that to get online all we had to do was open IE. I was used to that part but always had whatever dial up service we had at the time to open up and connect first. Just clicking IE and going was crazy to me.
I remember trying to play Mind Maze and knowing absolutely nothing.
I loved the video it has about nuclear fission reactions.
Pogs
Remember Alf? He’s back! In pog form!
Came here to say this! My collection is MIA and it still makes me sad thinking about it.
Your parents threw it away
Along with my pokemon cards
Hey can I come over and slam ur pogs?
Netscape
Linux and Mac users can hold on to a little piece of that history with the wonderful xscreensaver suite (its author, jwz, was a Netscape dude).
Add to that, flying toasters
Even better just use Firefox it descended from Netscape Navigator.
Jwz! He was like nerd Jesus to us 90s computer geeks
Tamagotchi
Just bought my first Tamagatchi in 2023 lol
Had the yellow one and a game boy one.
And a couple different brand ones. Or maybe just one other one? I forget now.
NOT!
Bobwehadababyitsaboy
I remember it as “eeetsaboy”
This one pops into my head way too often
This was my first thought lol
Dialup
Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcchdingdingding

Welcome, you’ve got mail, goodbye…
Lol lol at you with internet. We didn’t get access until 1999.

Psych!
You know that’s right!
Not a word, but the phrase “going online”. As in not being constantly connected at all times. We had to actually “get” online to look at stuff.
Myst
JNCO’s
I still laugh thinking back to 8th grade when my buddy, Tyler, got his first pair of JNCOs. To paint a picture, Tyler couldn’t have been more than 90 pounds soaking wet and had a bowl cut (being it the 90s). He had a big goofy grin on his face and goes “check it out - I can fit a whole 2 liter of Mountain Dew in my pocket!” And sure enough, he pulled a full 2 liter of Mountain Dew out of his front pocket.
Tyler was definitely a product of the times
