10 Awful Truths Kids From The '90s Are Only Just Realizing Now

By Meg
Growing up in the 90s, we had a lot of lies told to us. For example, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Didn't you though, Bill?However, there are some more subtle things from our childhoods that we're just starting to come around to, and some of them have me SHOOK (did I used that right? I can never tell). 1. That "farm" wasn't a real place. When I was young, my caregiver had a litter of bunnies. I wasn't allowed to take one home (because my parents were smarter than that) but I got to choose

10 Things You'll Only Understand If You Grew Up With Strict Parents

By Meg
Everyone who says parents are more strict today clearly never grew up in my household. I'm 25 years old and still get nervous when I have a drink because my parents made me think it was illegal to be drunk. They also made it seem like dating in high school was the end of the world and would derail your entire future. Sure, there may be more parents out there today who impose strict rules on their kids, but let's not pretend there weren't strict parents when we were growing up. This list is sure to give flashbacks to any

12 Facts About "The Truman Show" That Were Not Adopted By A Movie Studio

By Meg
You could make a solid case for The Truman Show as Jim Carrey's best film. If it's not #1, it's at least in the top three. We saw a new side of Carrey that we weren't used to: a serious one. Sure, there were humorous moments in the film, the point was to make you think, not laugh. It's been 20 years since The Truman Show was released, and even though everyone knew about Truman's life, they probably didn't know these facts. Paramount Pictures1.

By Alex
Kids that grew up in the 90s were exceptionally lucky when it came to the quality and quantity of amazing television programs available to them. There was literally so much happening on your television screen everyday that it was sometimes hard to keep track of all the stories and plotlines going on at the same time.

By Meg
If you didn't watch All That, you were missing out on the height of sketch comedy...okay well maybe not the HEIGHT, but at least some great sketches.

10 Toys From Our Childhood We're Still Trying To Figure Out

By Meg
Our generations had the best toys growing up, and I won't entertain any other opinions. Sure, we may not have had drones (or whatever the hell youths are playing with these days), but we had some amazing toys.

WHY did we have so much fun playing with bags filled with water? I want to know the science behind this, and I will not continue anything else

1994 Best Buy Flyer Reminds Us Of Simple, Yet Terrifying Times

By Meg
Before the internet was super available, we had flyers (or paper inserts). We waited for that blessed Sunday paper when we could see all the upcoming deals. And when it was Christmas time? Look out. Those bad boys were getting cut out and glued to another sheet of paper, then promptly mailed off to Santa. Even though it doesn't seem like that long ago, the technology in 1994 was...less than ideal. What we thought was groundbreaking now seems like the stone age. This paper insert from Best Buy is no different. It's from the week of October 23, 1994,
