Random things that were big in the '90s.

[StanleyTheCrane]

I'm trying to make up a quiz for a friend's birthday based on things that were popular in the '90s, plus I was just having fun reminiscing with another friend. So I wondered, what random and lesser known things do you remember being popular back then?

Riverdance is one I remember. That was so huge back then and I was obsessed with it and Michael Flatley. I remember watching Eurovision live when they had Michael Flatley and Jean Butler perform and being blown away by it.

Pump up bras, although that I think was very late 90's possibly early 2000's

Sorry I've done different spellings for it there. Not sure which one is correct

Jelly shoes, those clear swimming bags, furbies!

Would anyone care to join me in a run through of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air rap? You know you all still know it word for word.

'In West Philadelphia born and raised...'

And going to the local nightclub on a Thursday night for 60/70 & 80's night with £10, £2 to get in bogof on drinks before 10, and a taxi home with your mate!

Panpipes! What happened to all those random players?

Clocks that went on the wall but were like massive wrist watch.

I had a purple one and I loved it.

Enya too

This sticker everywhere.

And buying holidays on Teletext.

I recall the word “PHWOAR” being used a lot in 90’s magazines usually next to a picture of Adam Ricket or something

I love this thread it's bringing back so many cool memories
