The Truth Behind Why This California Super Group Dried Up

By Tanya
There are few commercials that are good enough to spawn an entire sensation, but The California Raisins did just that. It all started as a campaign to get more people to eat raisins. Seriously, that's how it happened. Apparently the California Raisin Advisory Board said that "we have tried everything but dancing raisins singing 'I Heard it Through the Grapevine" so they gave that a try and wow, did it ever work. The ads started with some claymation raisins singing "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" and everyone seemed to go nuts over it. So much so that these little

For Those Of Us Without A Nintendo, These Were The Next Best Thing.

By Tanya
There were a lot of us who couldn't afford the latest gaming systems when we were young, so we had to find our own coping mechanisms to deal with that sadness. Some decided they didn't like video games and instead played with other toys, some would spend a lot of time with their friends who had them, and some would instead get one of these little handheld games and pretend it was just as good. Theses little "Electronic Hand Held Games" were the closest we could get without spending too much money, so we went with it. They would usually

Seeing The Real-Live Muses Will Change How You Feel About Hercules

By Tanya
Watching a Disney movie is a really magical experience. The amount of care that seems to be put into them really comes across on screen and every moment is perfect. The movie Hercules is one of the most under appreciated Disney movies out there and has some of the best songs by far. If you haven't seen Hercules, you really need to get caught up because it came out twenty years ago (seriously, how was this that long ago). The movie is about the Grecian God Hercules who had been sent down to Earth and turn almost completely mortal. But

The Best Chipmunks Movie Out There Raises More Than A Few Big Questions

By Tanya
We all know Alvin and the Chipmunks right? Of course they have had their big CGI reboot, but for us 80s and 90s kids we know that the BEST Alvin and the Chipmunks movie was made a long time ago, thirty years to be exact. The most perfect Chipmunks movie by far was The Chipmunk Adventure made back in 1987. While it was obviously perfect, I do have some questions about it. I mean, it's a movie about chipmunks, and I understand it's for kids, but I still have some concerns. Let me explain the plot of this movie and

13 Things Kids Today Would Be Completely Baffled By

By Tanya
Growing up before the internet was everywhere makes for some very interesting memories. We know how it felt to be unreachable, we remember having to take only a certain number of pictures, and we know what the phrase "Be kind, rewind" means. Kids today have no idea how lucky they are. While I am sure our parents said the same about us, there really have been a crazy amount of technological advances over the last 15-20 years and the world is basically unrecognizable. Here a few relics that you may remember but kids today probably couldn't identify. Do you remember

By Tanya
TaleSpin was the beloved TV series that was based on characters from The Jungle Book, but how much do you really know about it?

Everyone Seemed To Have One Of These, Can You Find Yours On This List?

By Tanya
Did you ever want a pet when you were a kid? Probably right? Most kids asked their parents for a puppy or kitten pretty regularly when they are young, even though they have no real ability to actually take care of it. One of the ways parents would combat this constant demand was to get their kids a bunch of toys and would claim they were just like having a real pet.Kitty Kitty Kittens were these little soft and cute kitten toys that would purr when you moved them. They had big eyes, soft fur and the saddest little

Cher's Awesome Closet System Is Now Essentially Real, And We Are Totally Buggin'

By Tanya
We all watched Clueless back when it came out and in so many moments we were envious of Cher. She had amazing hair, a cool car, and all kinds of other advantages that we wish we had. One of the most awesome things in Cher's giant house was her closet. Not only because she had amazing clothes, but because Cher had this crazy computer system that helped her get dressed.The system would tell her if the clothes were a mismatch (which sounds super handy) and it would activate the electronic system that would find all the pieces of the

Kids Today Probably Wouldn't Survive Our Toys, Especially This One

By Tanya
Lately it seems as though kids are being kept in plastic bubbles to keep them safe. Well, back in the 90s that is not how it went. We were expected to play outside, ride out bikes, and only come home when it was dark out. We also had toys that were WAY different than kids' toys are now. They weren't really focused on keeping kids bruise free, but instead, focused on expending all that pent up energy. A lot of toys from the past wouldn't be made today, maybe because they had such weird commercials, or maybe because they were
