Things from the 90s/00s you don’t see anymore?

[Firebird83]

What are some things you remember from the 90s or early 2000s that don’t exist anymore?

I remember old ladies used to wear headscarves or those plastic rain bonnets

Lucky heather sellers in town centres

In my gran’s rural village she used to get a mobile library van and also a man selling soft drinks in glass bottles

Any more?

Of course a lot of these things existed before that era too, I just don’t remember seeing them anymore after the early 2000s.

Alan Sugar too. I remember how horribly he treated people on The Apprentice and thinking God, is everyone going to start being like that now. He encouraged a whole new world of assholery and gave us people like Katie Hopkins.

I'm wearing a mood ring now, it was a gift in the last 90 days

Oh yes, everyone died in the 90s because of that!

The little black and white striped box that would pop up on the top right of the TV, to warn of an incoming advert break!

Magic eye posters
Crunchy curls with a slick parting
Jeans and a nice top
Dairy Milk pocket packs (the perfect thick milk chocolate)

The green belt.

Somerfield, Penny Sweets.

Collecting fuzzy stickers and trading them in school

I'm so glad you said that because nobody else I've ever mentioned them to has remembered them. God knows why Cadbury discontinued them, they were sooooo good.

Napster
Burning a CD
Borrowing/lending CDs

The Early Learning Centre and fucking Barney

I recollec little else but I got married and had babies in the 90s.

People carriers

O'Levels

The 00's was all school runs, rugby, tennis, swimming lessons, au-pairs and going back to work. Little time to think of anything but LK Bennett and entrance exams.

Album listening booths in HMV

Car windscreens getting covered in dead bugs when your drove around on a summer evening.

There was one in last night's salad, but you're right, there were billions of them when we were kids!

Weed sellers in Camden town. The 90s were the best.

@TaborlinTheGreat do McDonalds and Kinder eggs still have little plastic landfill shit toys ?

Ooh, that's a point - hash as opposed to skunk. If one of your neighbours lit up a joint you weren't immediately enveloped in the smell of rancid cat piss...

@RawBloomers they did have peoples earwax in them though 🤮🤮
