The sad part is that now there’s a million Beanie Babies that are worth nothing. So, you bought all those little tag protectors for nothing.

3. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was your jam

This was back when Will Smith was THE coolest and you loved the fact that this show started with a rap.

4. You needed to own all the iridescent colors

Lisa Frank had this wonderful way of sending catalogs filled with all the things you needed to be happy in life.

5. You wondered what slime tasted like

What it good? Or was it gross? Even better than getting slimed yourself, would be the chance to slime someone you really didn’t like.

Which means you probably watched Disney too. And there was always such rivalry between the two channels.
