Anybody under the age of 13 should not re-post this. Just cause you were born in ’93 or ’94 does not mean you are a 90s kid. It’s not like you could remember some of the original Simpsons.
Harsh, but true. I can't really call myself an 80s kid, after all.
You know when you’re a British 90s kid if…
You can sing the rap to ‘The Fresh Prince of Bell Air’
Pretty much, although I only actually learnt it in the 21st century ^^
You’ve worn leggings and felt cool.
Yes. I don't think I looked cool, though *has vague memories of wearing leggings to wash the car and the damn things split
You used to love playing with your ‘Puppy in my Pockets’
OMFG YES YES I WAS THE PUPPY IN MY POCKET QUEEN
You remember when in was actually worth getting up on a Saturday morning to watch ‘Live & Kicking’ or SM:TV
I know my brother did, but I didn't
You had a huge fringe at some point in your childhood.
Yes, and am thinking of growing it back...
You remember reading and watching ‘Goosebumps’
I don't remember a TV series but I always used to read them in bookshops and creep myself out. Bloody RL Stine.
You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.
Not to school, only to holiday activities. I had a Smarties one. I won it *proud*
You know the words from the Shakey Jake milkshake adverts
I don't remember the Shakey Jake milkshake adverts.
You remember the craze of Yo-yos and Tamagotchi’s
Nik had a yo-yo, I had a second-hand Tamagotchi.
You still get the urge to sty ‘Not’ after every sentence. Not.
I've got over it now, though. (Not ^^)
You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger were meant to be.
I didn't start shipping like that until I discovered fanfic, actually
You collected Pokemon cards.
No, Nik did. They still turn up in random places in our house.
You played and/or collected Pogs.
I made my own Pogs. Because I was weird like that.
You had a weird alien that lived in gooey stuff in a plastic ‘pod’ and thought if you stuck 2 back to back they would have a baby!
... did I? This sounds familiar but I can't remember why.
You watched the original Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Ninja Turtles.
I did, though none of them regularly.
Yikes pencils were the best!-What happened to them?
OMG so true! I miss that wacky stationery :(
You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out
I never went looking for them, but I remember them being a craze
You got your mum to buy ‘BN’ biscuits
No, I didn't... but I remember the ad for those! "Do do do-do-do (BN BN) do do do-do (BN BN)!".... okay, I'll stop
You used to wear those stick on earrings, not only on your eats but at the corners of your eyes.
I wanted to, but never did :( I remember my friends doing it though
You know the Macerena by heart.
Um. Yes. And Whigfield's 'Saturday Night'. I should be ashamed... but I'm not ^^
"Talk to the hand" - enough said.
I don't remember hearing this until after the 90s were over!
You remember the time before Literacy and Numeracy hour existed.
Yes - I've never been put through them!
You thought Brain from ‘Pinkey and the Brain’ would finally take over the world.
I didn't watch it much, but I still hum the theme tune/mention it randomly
You remember bum-bags.
Yup.
You always wanted to be on Fun House
OMG YES THAT WAS SO COOL... ahem. Sorry
You collected Tazos.
I couldn't avoid them! If you ate crisps, you got Tazos!
2 words, Spice Girls.
I was a fan, I admit it. *blush*

You know you're a Brit, and why not, if you spell Bel-Air (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bel-Air,_Los_Angeles,_California) with two 'l's.
--Which has nothing to do with you, and any number of such instances in reverse could be pointed out (all too easily), but it was charming.

Date: 2006-04-28 10:37 am (UTC)Tazos and Beanie Babies rawk.
Date: 2006-04-30 03:29 pm (UTC)Although I was always too wet to read 'Goosebumps' and those alien things that were in pods and had baby aliens - my best friend and I chopped one's head off then felt really guilty :S
Re: Tazos and Beanie Babies rawk.
Date: 2006-04-30 06:29 pm (UTC)And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who found Goosebumps scary!
Okay, I don't think I do remember these alien things. Um, did they have a brand name or anything? Or did they just not make it as a craze in my school?
