By Tanya
When you were a kid, there was no better moment than when your parents said you could have a dollar or two to spend on something fun. What did we do? Did we save it up so we could buy something really cool? Absolutely not!

There are some things that everyone had even though we honestly do not know why. Here are 13 of the most bizarre and useless things we all

Can You Explain To Me How Or Why These Got So Popular?

By Tanya
Some toys from the 90s are obviously perfect and deserve all the obsessions they started and praise that they got, looking at you Barbie Jeep, while others were perhaps a little less desirable. There were some fads that spread like wildfire even though when you really look back on them, you have no idea why. Moon Shoes were perhaps one of the biggest toys around and I am not sure I understand why. I understand that they were "gravity defying" shoes, but did they really send you up all that high? From the commercial and all the pictures, they look

Doodle Bears Were The Best Toy And Don't Try To Tell Me Otherwise

By Tanya
Toys in the 90s were a lot different than they are now. Kids these days don't really seem to notice anything that isn't attached to an iPad, but back when we were kids teddy bears and coloring books reigned supreme. The day they combined those two things into one? Absolute magic. The Doodle Bear came out in the mid-nineties and holy moly were they ever huge! Everyone wanted one! I mean, I know I did (and honestly still do).Such a simple concept too, all they were was a bear that was washable so kids could draw all over their

If you had to think of one little knick-knack that would remind you of the 90s, it would absolutely have to be a Precious Moments ceramic figurine right? Those little kids were just about everywhere. Not only were there the ceramic figures that your Grandma would give you for your birthday, you could also get the coloring books, the collections of stories and even toys!  They were pretty cute so I can see how they ended up so popular. They were big-eyed kids who always shared the sweetest sentiments like "I love my grandma" or just a simple "I

By Tanya
Who was alive in the year 1999? Well, if you were, surely you remember the whole Y2K craziness that happened. It was absolute mayhem. Everywhere you looked people were preparing for the inevitable crash of all technology because a computer bug would cause everything to think it was back in the year 1900 instead of 2000. The panic was pretty insane. People were terrified that all their computers would stop working and went as far as secluding themselves in bunkers to stay safe. Time magazine even set up a generator powered "war room" in case they needed to break the
