- Tight-rolling your pants

- Breakin' and Electric Bugaloo: Breakin' 2

- Instructional breakdancing books that came with a record so you could practice (my twin brother and I would get a piece of cardboard from the garage, go to our room, throw that record on the Fisher Price record player and try to breakdance all day long)

remember those bracelets where they were stiff..and you had to slap them on your wrist and they would wrap around your wrist?

 

I remember I didn't get Nintendo until almost the 90's. We couldn't afford it, so my grandparent's got it for us, and my parent's would never let us hook it up to play.

 

Haha.. I loved those bracelets... man..

 

I also used to LOVE Fraggle Rock and many of the other thing's listed above.

 

I was never a Pepsi fan, but I miss clear Pepsi.

 

Does anyone remember Puffy Paint? You used to squirt it from the tube onto t-shirts, and it would harden?

 

ALF too! I used to have so many Alf puppets, and trading card's, and E.T. trading cards...

 

Harry and The Hendersons.

 

Aaaaaaan scooter's. Not these gay tiny one's we have these days.. our's were bigger and not shinny, and had 6" tire's and brake levers....

one of my all time favourite topics....

 

slap bracelets - banned at my school cause the metal inside cut some kids wrist.

 

fanny packs - I had a neon green one that I wore with my biker shorts and rode arround on my really ugly cheap skatebord from honest eds (shitty store in toronto)

 

popples- I had one that looked like a flower when it was all balled up.

 

playdoh mop top hair shop & flower makin basket - had em both.

 

sticker collections - shineys, smellies, fuzzies etc.....

 

remember when those sour jaw breakers came out....the realllllllly sour ones...

 

obscure TV shows from the 80's = switchback, owl TV, astro boy, punky brewster, FUN HOUSE (the kids game show) classic concentration.

 

any of you girls remember those plastic chain link bracelets that you could get all kinds of cool plastic charms for. stuff like baby bottles & mini bikes and stawberries?.. you could get them in coin machines.

 

ventures (really shitty brand of shoes sold in Zellers....you were usually mocked if you wore these to school)

 

voit

 

gitano

 

those really gross patchwork winter jackets.

 

wearing tights under cut off jean shorts int he winter time
