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.

It has been brilliant fun today. The new song from the 90’s bands shouldnt work,but it really does.

Were Pogs basically tiddlywinks?

Wearing lime green and orange together. In big blocks such as an orange mini and a lime green top.

Weren't shell suits popular in the early '90s too? I have a vague memory of many dire warnings in school about never wearing one while handling fireworks.
