49 Forgotten '90s Things Millennials Will Recognize
Troll dolls, which you had a collection of, and would dress up in different clothes. They were like the original Labubus. The Pepsi commercial with the Spice Girls that featured them singing the ultra-catchy "Move Over" jingle. Nestle Quik that came in syrup bottles and was the superior way to make chocolate or strawberry milk (no offense to the powdered form). Welch's jelly glasses your family had forever, with the paint slowly fading from years of use. These Barney slippers that your younger sibling or cousin owned and that smelled so gross. Old issues of Highlights magazine you'd read in the dentist's or pediatrician's waiting room. The Halloween episode of Family Matters that featured the super creepy AF ventriloquist's dummy, Stevil. Which tried to kill Urkel!!! (It was nightmare-inducing!) The creepy AF Puttermans from the Duracell commercials. And the commercials with the talking Chevron Cars who were OVER IT and loved to spill the tea about their owners. Old-school arcade change machines with the huge metal fronts and a big red button. The THX logo that would play before some movies. (And that you can still hear in your head!). Toys "R" Us, with its all-blue checkout counters that signaled you were about to leave with something awesome. And Kay Bee Toys, which stored all its video games right behind the registers. Beanie Baby price guides, which made you feel like a serious investor as you checked the value of your prized collection. Sunny Delight, which you chugged after school because it was marketed as "healthy." SnackWell's treats your parents or grandparents bought — and that you sneakily ate when no one was looking. E!'s Coming Attractions, which was literally a half-hour show of just movie trailers. And Emeril Live and his "Bam!" catchphrase. The blue cornflower Corning Ware casserole dishes that your mom would make something in at least once a week. The WB network, which basically aired all the shows you watched. And Fox Kids, which had the best Saturday morning cartoon lineup. The ads inside TV Guide that would tell you what that week's episode of a TV show was going to be about. The Crocodile Mile slip-and-slide toy that had the infectious "You run, you slide, you hit the bump, and take a dive" jingle in the commercial. Butterfinger's commercials that featured the Simpsons. The yellow Judy Clocks that were in your classroom from kindergarten until third grade. The TV on the rolling cart that instantly got you excited and in a good mood when you'd see it rolled into your classroom. The creepy hide-and-seek/time-out dolls that usually your "arts and crafty" neighbor or country decor-loving aunt made, and that they would place in the corner of rooms or near staircases. Wacky straws that were made out of hard plastic that would give anything you were drinking a subtle plasticky taste. Bubble Beeper gum cases that you would attach to your waistband or pocket like a real pager. The Flintstones' lucky egg machine that they would have at the exit of the supermarket or at mom-and-pop pizza parlors. TVs with built-in VCRs that had like 13-inch wide screens and were the coolest thing you could have in your bedroom. Happy Meal boxes that came with puzzles, mazes, and other fun things you could do with them. Bookmarks, which you would have a collection of because you'd get them for things like birthdays or at the Scholastic Books Fair. These sand-filled, glittery, rainbow lizard toys that everyone seemed to own: Crest Kid's Sparkle Fun toothpaste that tasted a bit too delicious and was almost tempting to eat. The Chuck E. Cheese's "Where a kid can be a kid" commercials that they played a lot during Saturday morning cartoons. Having to put the TV on channel three anytime you wanted to watch a VHS movie or play Nintendo. The green volume bar that would display across the bottom quarter of your TV whenever you raised or lowered the volume. The Disney Store and its iconic blend of old Hollywood deco and '80s/early '90s design, which was almost impossible to resist stepping into. The Warner Bros. Studio Store plastic shopping bags that looked like this and that you refused to throw away because they were so, so cool looking. Lunchables, which was a major flex if you brought one to school for lunch. The red stick that came with Handi-Snacks that would slice your tongue if you weren't careful while licking it. Little Pet Shop toys that were tiny, adorable, and somehow always ended up scattered all over your bedroom floor. Sky Dancers — the toy you loved and feared — because the moment you launched one, you knew to run for cover before it smacked you in the face. Disney knock-off VHS movies you would get as a gift from a clueless relative (usually from your grandma), thinking they got you the real thing. Random VHS movies your family had in their collection that came from a fast-food restaurant. Disney's Disneyland Fun Sing Along Songs VHS tape, which made you believe Mickey Mouse and the gang were the ones who cleaned and prepped the park every morning before opening. Blockbuster Video's "Guaranteed to be there" ad campaign — which, TBH, I don't know if anyone actually put to the test. And lastly, the Quik Drop box at Blockbuster Video stores that seriously saved you (or your parents) from having to pay the late fee.

Are you complying with this new Florida driving law? See what's required
See that police car on the side of the highway? You'll need to move over a lane or slow down as you pass it. But did you know that Florida's Move Over law expanded in 2024 to include all vehicles? Roadway signs across the state still focus on emergency vehicles — including police cars, fire trucks and Road Rangers, the crews that help stranded drivers with a flat tire or a dead battery. But the Move Over law now requires drivers to switch lanes or slow down for any vehicle stopped on the side of the highway. Here's what to know: What the expanded Move Over law covers Under the expanded law, drivers must move over to avoid any vehicle stopped on the side of the road, not just emergency vehicles used by police, Road Rangers, emergency crews or construction vehicles, according to the bill's analysis. The expanded law covers: ▪ Disabled motor vehicles that are stopped and displaying warning lights or hazard lights. ▪ A vehicle that is stopped and using emergency flares or posting emergency signs. ▪ A vehicle that is stopped and one or more persons are visibly present. What do drivers have to do? To comply with the law, which is designed to save lives and help avoid crashes, drivers in Florida must do what they've been doing for emergency or public service vehicles for nearly 25 years. ▪ Move out of the lane closest to the disabled vehicle when driving on highways or streets with two or more lanes traveling in the direction of the stopped vehicle. ▪ If drivers can't safely make that move, they must slow to 20 mph less than the posted speed limit when the posted limit is 25 mph or greater. Or travel at 5 mph when the posted speed limit is 20 mph or less. What if you break the law? You will pay a fine if caught. A violation of the Move Over Law is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation, according to the state. The statutory base fine is $60 but with additional fees and surcharges, the total penalty may be up to $158, the bill says. KNOW MORE: Should you speed up on I-95 entrance ramp? Do you have to stop at light? What laws say What officials have to say about Move Over Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported that in 2021, there were 191 crashes and more than 14,000 citations issued for drivers failing to move over in Florida. From 2016-2020, an average of nearly 350 people per year were struck and killed while outside a disabled vehicle on the roadside, AAA said in a media release applauding the Florida Move Over law expansion. 'AAA has advocated for a stronger move over law through our 'Move Over for Me' campaign, and are glad to see it come to fruition,' AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said as the new law took effect. 'The roadside is a dangerous place for anyone, whether it's a first responder or a daily commuter. We hope this enhancement to the current law will save lives by reminding drivers to give extra space when passing anyone on the roadside.'

The Castle Rock Police Department tells FOX31 a marked patrol car with emergency lights running was totaled when another driver crashed into its back end on Tuesday, causing the car to catch fire. Castle Rock police vehicle totaled in crash on I-25 The officer was standing nearby but was not Sherri Mendez of the Colorado State Patrol told FOX31 she has almost been struck by drivers not abiding by the law while doing her job. 'It just sounds so fast and loud, and you can feel sometimes the car shake,' she said. Mendez says following the Move Over Law is crucial to saving lives on the road and drivers should slow down and move over when they see any vehicle on the side of the road with flashing lights. 'We're doing our job and we expect other people to do their job and be responsible and move over for us,' she said. The Problem Solvers found that at least three accidents per month occurred between August and November of 2024 as a result of drivers violating the Move Over Law, including a fatal accident in Golden that killed 33-year-old police officer Evan Dunn, who had served in the Army as an aviation officer and Blackhawk pilot.

The driver in that case was arrested for vehicular homicide, driving under the influence and violating the 'Move Over' Law. Mendez says the State Patrol motto is 'no one's final resting place should be on the roadway' and encourages drivers to consider the harm that can come from failing to consider the well-being of others by following the law. 'Think of everybody on the shoulder of the road as their family members — us included,' she said. The Colorado State Patrol is still investigating the crash in Castle Rock.

South Dakota is enforcing stricter rules on the 'Move Over' law
NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. (KCAU) — While all 50 states enforce the Move Over law that requires vehicles to change lanes on the interstate when passing a car that is pulled over, South Dakota drivers will face harsher penalties for not obeying the Move Over law. 'We have too many people getting injured or killed,' said North Sioux City Police Chief Richard Headid. 'So this is something that you implement and just due to the fact that we have the injuries out there and we're trying to prevent it from whether it's people that are working on a roadway or whether it's a simple individual who broke down along the interstate.' Story continues below Top Story: McCook Lake residents in need of more dirt to rebuild homes Lights & Sirens: Traffic violation scam alarms Siouxlanders; police issue alert Sports: Bishop Heelan girls soccer drops 1A State semifinal match to Davenport Assumption in 1-0 defeat Weather: Get the latest weather forecast here During the last legislative session, lawmakers changed the category for drivers who violate the Move Over law to a class 1 misdemeanor, the same category as getting a DUI. Headid hopes that with this new updated law, other states will soon follow it. 'I think we need to emphasize that so everybody in every state understands the importance of getting over, you know, saves lives, and that can be your life out there, you know, alongside the road. Somebody doesn't see you, next thing you know, you're getting rear-ended,' said Headid. The Dispatch Manager of Stockton Towing, Trey Vanderschaaf, has personal experience with this. 'So we've had one of our own get struck by a vehicle working an accident,' said Vabderschaaf. 'I'm glad they're finally looking into it a little harder. And I wish, I hope, people kind of open their eyes and realize that this is not a joke. You need to move over and slow down.' Vanderschaaf hopes this will reduce the number of injuries. 'I'm hoping it kind of opens people's eyes a little bit because there's there's times where there are people that blow past you at 80, 80 plus miles an hour on the interstate, and they just don't care,' said Vanderschaaf This change will go into effect on July 1.
