What's Something From The '90s That People Are Nostalgic About, But It Wasn't Really That Great?
I was barely alive in the '90s, but my generation loves to romanticize that decade. However, I'm sure it wasn't all Blockbuster and Dunkaroos. There are definitely some things that are way better in people's memories than they actually were IRL. For example, a lot of people reminisce about waiting all day by the radio for their favorite song to play so they can record it on a cassette. TBH, that sounds more frustrating than fun. And downloading music from LimeWire was basically Russian roulette with a computer virus. And a Tamagotchi seems like choosing to do that high school project where you take care of a fake baby for fun! So, in your opinion, what's something about the '90s that people are super nostalgic about, but it wasn't actually that great? Why?

27 Interesting Snacks And Treats From Amazon
Hey, just a quick warning about buying food online in the summer! If the listing doesn't say it's shipped with ice packs, your snacks might melt before they reach you. A bag of Nutella-filled biscuits that taste like adult Dunkaroos. These have been banned in my home because we go through a bag in one sitting (an expensive habit!) but I may have to order some more now, seeing as they're half the price of what my local corner store charges. Pickle cashews because real brineheads know that literally anything tastes better with a little dill and garlic flavoring. Only open this bag if you're prepared to eat all 5 ounces because reviewers say these are capital T tasty. Or Vlasic Pickle Balls for anyone who gets hungry whenever the sport of the same name gets mentioned. Grab some dill-flavored puffs after a long day at the court. A variety pack of A Dozen Cousins ready-to-eat seasoned beans that are a HUGE step up from the basic canned version. You can throw a bag into the microwave and have a body-meltingly delicious side ready to go in one minute. Sweet Goldfish in head-turning flavors like strawberry shortcake, vanilla cupcake, and cinnamon roll. Yeeeah, these guys aren't even gonna have time to smile back before you snack. Spicy margarita instant cocktails that use teabag technology to make delicious bevvies with zero effort, equipment, or bartending experience. Just fill a glass with cold water and liquor (optional), dunk your mixer pouch, and get ready to par-tea! (Sorry.) A bag of Konpeito, aka Japanese star candy. These are great for anyone who loves Spirited Away or just sugar in general. They're basically like tiny hunks of rock candy — delicious, with a great *cronch*. Best-selling Rip Van chocolate hazelnut wafer cookies that are big in the keto, vegan, and diabetic communities thanks to their bakery-level tastiness. Each cookie comes with three wafers and flavored spreads (think chocolate hazelnut, strawberry, and pumpkin spice) to create a sort of inverted Kit-Kat situation. A variety pack of Kindling whole-grain pretzels in fun flavors like dill pickle, garlic parmesan, and honey mustard. Reviewers like the bold flavors and lil' protein boost. A variety pack of hard candies spiced with traditional Mexican flavors that will delight the senses. Spicy, sweet, and tangy all come together to create flavor magic. A bag of popcorn that's the direct result of an illicit affair between Smartfood and Doritos. If you've never had nacho cheese-flavored popcorn, you haven't lived, IMO. Or a bag of Reese's Popcorn ideally eaten while enjoying an ET viewing. Salty popcorn is drizzled with chocolaty and peanut butter, making it even better than mixing Raisinets into theater popcorn. Walker's mini shortbread Scottie dogs so you can recreate tea time across the pond. One reviewer said they're the best butter cookies they've ever had! Quaker Rice Crisps — mini, chip versions of the rice cakes of your youth. They come in four outstanding (not exaggerating) flavors, but the best, IMO, is cheddar. Canned Oden: Japanese pot-au-feu made with daikon, tofu, noodles, and more, simmered in a dashi-rich broth. Heat it up for an easy soup dish or eat it right out of the can as a quick snack. Vegan mini snack sticks that do a good impression of beef jerky thanks to their 11 grams of protein, smoky flavors, and satisfying texture. Their small size makes them great as a midday pick-me-up snack or lunchbox treat. A box of Cheetos mac 'n' cheese that are unsurprisingly 1000% delicious and absolutely worth trying. The cheesiness to any other brand and the spiral pasta has the perfect level of chewiness. Marinated veggie snack packs that offer a similar experience to eating olives straight out of the jar, but likely without the regret that comes when you have to chug a gallon of water to stave off the salt-induced thirst. Plus, the lightweight bags are easier to travel with than glass bottles! If you're not eating these cooked veggies straight up, you can use them to top salads or jazz up hors d'oeuvres. A bubble tea kit with everything you need to make five cups of taro or Thai tea. As long as you know how to heat water, you can make this tasty treat in just 45 seconds! A dozen bags of GLOWING Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish that prove that this is the decade of candy innovation so groundbreaking, it would bring a tear to Willy Wonka's eye. The strawberry-watermelon gummies come with edible glitter that glows under black light. Time to bring candy to the rave! If you're wondering if these candies are radioactive, NOPE! They're made with tasteless turmeric extract. Promising review (for the Sour Patch Kids): "Unfortunately, I don't have a picture right now, because they are gone! They are so delicious, so soft, and everyone I know loves them." —DenisePrice: $15 for the Swedish Fish and $14.92 for the Sour Patch Kids A Fishwife smoked fish trio you can enjoy with crackers, mix into a delicious dip, or eat straight out of the can — they're that good! Reviewers appreciate that they're not overly oily or fishy tasting. A bag of sugar-free hard candies for anyone who wishes they could eat the glass pebbles often seen in decorative vases. Reviewers love the reasonable price, variety of flavors, and lack of gross aftertaste. Kuzumochi that looks sooo satisfying to eat. Slice up this crystal treat and eat it on ice cream, with an acai bowl, in a fruit salad, or alone, topped with the included kinako (roasted soybean flour). Normally, you have to go to a Japanese gift shop to find this tea-flavored dessert! Plant-based Reese's cups made with oat flour, because everyone (vegan and lactose-intolerant people included) should be able to enjoy one of the greatest candies on Earth. It even ships with cold packs, so people in hot climates can get in on the peanutbuttery goodness as well. Roasted seaweed snacks that come in a variety of fun flavors (teriyaki, chili lime, Korean BBQ, etc) and are the perfect snack for when you're not exactly hungry but still in the mood to eat something. They're light, crispy, and a source of vitamin B12 and iodine. Nick's Keto Candy Bars packing tons of flavor AND fiber, with 28%–34% of the recommended daily amount. The gluten-free treats come in gooey peanut butter and creamy coconut — reviewers say both really hit the spot when you want something sweet. Brazi Bites Pizza Snacks, which are essentially like pizza rolls but with a twist — pao de queijo instead of pizza dough! That's right, it's cheese, sauce, and pepperoni wrapped in a delightful cheesy bread.

Create Account Yes, please, say some parents. Giving kids a 'feral child summer' — also being tabbed as a ''90s summer' — is the latest parenting trend making the rounds online as overworked moms and dads are trading day camps for the memory of carefree summers fuelled by Kool-Aid and Dunkaroos. While some parents see the fad as unrealistic in a time of increased gun violence, extreme weather and online distractions, others are throwing structure to the wind in favour of no-limit couch time and exploring the outdoors unsupervised. Brooklyn's Eric Katzman, 46, told the New York Post he is trying to let his kids embrace the freewheeling '90s spirit. 'We roamed, went to the candy store, the fro-yo place, but we always knew to come home,' the public relations professional said about his childhood.

Podcast host Kylie Kelce, who is married to retired Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce, raved about the fad in a recent episode of Not Gonna Lie . 'I love the idea,' the mother of four said. 'I currently will unleash my children into the backyard. If one of them ends up digging out a rock, have at it.' Chill out for a moment, dude. Not everyone thinks this is a sick idea. Recommended video Anna Levy-Warren, a Brooklyn-based psychologist who works with families, told the New York Post that while it's 'crucially important' to give kids a chance to be bored and explore their imagination without the help of a screen, 'we live in a very different world than the one of the '90s summer.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Plus, it may be the result of parents overcompensating for their family's busy schedule. Claire Vallotton, a professor of human development and family studies at Michigan State University, told USA Today that the desire for a '90s summer is 'likely a reaction to a parenting culture that tries to overschedule kids with summer activities to optimize child development. 'They are overscheduled and using technology too much,' she told USA Today . 'It's a reaction that makes a lot of sense, but trying to solve it all in one summer isn't going to work for either the children or parents.' Vallotton suggested parents find ways to ease their kids into a 'feral child summer' by limiting screen time, promoting outdoor fun and scheduling peer play with minimal supervision.

AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) Scientists travel to Antarctica to explore a hidden pyramid, but they become tangled in an ancient battle between two alien fun.
