Memories and discussion of the '90s.

Unfortunately no brand tag visible, only a super plain size tag. I wish it wasn't slightly itchy, or else I would wear it all the time! It feels like something I would see my mom go to a Christmas party in.

Hello, Does anyone else wear white undershirts underneath literally everything? I'm talking dress shirts, t-shirts, even exercise wear? I'm referring to the t-shirt style undershirts, not wife beaters. I remember all the guys started doing it in middle school. I grew up in the Houston area, if it matters. Anyone else do this? What is the current thought on white undershirts? Is there a time you are supposed to wear them and other times not, according to current fashion standards that is?

tl;dr: On phones, email etc. circa 1999, if you didn't have access to modern emojis, what did you use to represent surprise?

Ok, I have now read several Wikipedia articles on the history of emoticons, emojis, and early internet communications, this article from 2000 on gender differences and emoticon use, and the EFF's Unofficial Smiley Guide and I swear to god I'm not just procrastinating on writing.

I didn't get a cell phone until 2005 and wasn't super online, so even though it took me ages to switch from :) to 🙂, the nuances of the earlier forms aren't really intuitive to me.

The vibe I'm going for is maybe somewhere between: 😦😨😱 Like kind of shock, omg, wtf, horror, but also it's a joke. I was thinking maybe the milder o_O wtf face, but after reading about the differences between Western & Eastern emojis, I think this might not be right for a couple of New Yorkers in 1999.

Intuitively, I thought this one might capture it: =( (Because it seems a little oh shit.)

Then I saw this one on the EFF site: :< (Translated as one of several variations of "What?") and in my head, it kind of looks like a sad wtf face, but I've never used it and like I said, I'm not really familiar with the nuances.

Does anyone remember what you actually used?

I had this amazing set of flashcards that was on a ring and you could sort of shift through them and they got cut up for a school project eventually and I regret it so much they were probably printed in like 98-99 but possibly 2000.

They were greek/roman myths, each card featured a classical painting relaying to the myth on the card. The front card with the title of deck had Medusa severed head on it.

I have googled for hours and gotten no where! I hope someone remembers these

I figure this is a good enough place to post this - Nintendo has released a formal "Nintendo Music" app for those subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online! It's still new, but they said they'll be adding more game soundtracks to it regularly. Has one of my favorites from SNES I just got reminded of here - Donkey King Country!

The good ole days

Hit clips . Dude I loved them so much back then. But looking back what a rip off it was to only have short lengths to the songs.

It came out when I was 18 years old . Iris appeared in the sound track of city of angels . One of the episodes of the tv show Charmed, goo goo dolls performed in a bar

RIP millenial childhood mid 90s to early 2000s. You will always be etched in our memories as the golden age of humanity.

Does anyone remember the inflatable sea shell bath pillows from the 90s with suction cups that actually came free with a bubble bath/body wash product or maybe it was a bath set that just came with the pillow. I feel like bath time has not been the same since my pillow stopped I inflating in the late 90s/early 2000s. I know I could buy another pillow but I honestly thought this was great marketing and really encouraged me to use my bubble bath/body wash whatever it was. Does anyone remember what this product was. I remember it had a gardenia smell and even if no one remembers the pillow coming with it I would still love to know what brand the gardenia bath stuff was.
