Took this from an e-mail I was sent... but added a few. It's really freaky and brings back memories!
How you know you experienced the 90's:
1) 10p Mr Frosty Ice Pops on long summer days!
2) Gordon the Gopher! Edd the duck!!
3) You could do or tried to do the Prodigy step. 'You're no good 4 me....'
4) You owned or longed for an Adidas three stripe tracksuit
5) You owned a compilation tape with TOP TUNES such as "Mr Vain", "What is
love" and "Rhythm is a dancer" and 'How Bizarre, How Bizarre"
6) Girls thought Blue Mascara was cool!
7) Girls actually fancied Garry Barlow more than Robbie Williams
8) The Racoons! ( Cyril Sneer, nuff said)
9) You owned a pair of Nike Air Max, and wore them to death (probably the
black ones with the pink tick)
10) Mr Motivator (What ever happened to him?)
11) Running on the spot dancing! (or 'The ESCALATOR!!' )
12) You wore leggings/cycling /bermuda shorts , with long t-shirts
13) You owned a Bennetton, NafNaf, sweater shop jumper or waistcoat
14) Girls owned scrunchies in an array of colours and tacky headbands with brand new amps with
their names written on in thick glitter
16) You bought Smash Hits for the song lyrics and the immense amount of
stickers that you would stick everywhere!
17) You had a pen pal
18) You could only watch the Simpson's on sky
19) On a Saturday afternoon you watched Catchphrase, Gladiators,
Generation Game, Noels House post-party depression and then Casualty
20) You taped the Pepsi Chartshow on radio one and tired in vain to pause
the tape before the annoying guy (Dr Fox) talked and ruined the whole
thing.
21) Cans of Coke were 25p
22) 10p Space Raiders Crisps (aint they still 10p??)
23) A grey Fruit of the Loom jumper was a must have

scat like Scatman John! Bi bat ba ba da bo...
33) You watched Baywatch and longed for the day that Eddie & Sharni got
together!

60) Nobody owned a mobile phone and "bleepers" were top of the range accessories.
61) Wearing a Tracksuit made you cool and didn't get you beaten up or classed as one of *them*
62) You actually used to think the Spice Girls were sexy
Feel free to add any you can think of
