It always amuses me just how original we thought we were, yet how drastically typical we were. Miss this life.

You cant use blue Yoshi to get past that level in Mario world, there are no shells he can eat

My thoughts exactly.

I need scented markers back in my life.

I can smell them
imachikenlol
"This one smells awesome!" *holds out marker* *puts your nose by it to smell* *jab* "DO I HAVE BLUE ON MY NOSE!?"
ThatSmirkingHorseFromHighgarden
That happened more than once.

They still sell them just got my son some from target!
peridotstar
Me too! I had that exact same brand I was blown away to see that. I think that the light blue was my favorite. Some kind of berry, maybe?
sushifire
I have no clue what kind of berry that one was. It was my fave too.

Just bought my kids some last week. They didn't understand why I was so excited.

My aunt gave me a box of Mr. Sketch markers for Christmas this past year. I'm 34. It might've been the best gift I received.
Jujubird
I still have them in my work desk, people give me weird looks when they borrow my pens. FOOLS!!
ImmortalSquid
My friend and I were packing up my closet for a move, and we found my old box of them from when we were kids. We spent the afternoon

Actually, you're defocusing your eyes.

that's the term! too bad I got downvoted!

It happens. People on here tend to be fickle as fuck. I knew what you meant because it feels like you're crossing your eyes.

Hey, I still have a Bulls championship hat at my parents from the 90s. Don't forget Luc Longley, Kerr, Pippen and Rodman!

I still have a few championship t-shirts.

The only reason I know Pippen is because of the trainwreck of an FMV game called "Slam City with Scottie Pippen" on Sega CD-32X.

i loved dennis rodman as a kid. i liked that he was so fucking weird cuz it made him stand out

Never mind the litany of Jordan cards I have. The MJ watch I had. The Bulls pillow still at my parents. The reversible jersey I never got.

Amen! My basketball career ended with MJ, I may have been 11 but that's not important.

Silly putty was banned from my household. I thought it would be a good idea to put it on top of my sisters ceiling fan so when she turned...
Inclinedtobelaidback
..it on it would swing it around. Unfortunately the next day our carpets were cleaned and they turned the fans on to dry them. I spent...

I'm from america. Grew up in the 90s, most of these don't apply
senefen
Yeah, about half of these apply in Australia, but a bunch of those companies and TV shows weren't around here.
grichen93
Thanks. Way more accurate. Although, I can identify with like 15 or 20 of these.
skelekittycat
I recognised more from the first, but a LOT from this one as well. A fair few I was totally guilty of as well. Depends on the area.

Most of these applors to me and im north east england born and raised.

As a European from the 90s, I honestly have no idea what 90% of these things are. Maybe it's a good thing.

Someone should make a list for a different country, it would be interesting!

As a South African - about 60% were the same. Which is more than I was expecting!

Grew up in Poland - most of them are quite relevant :-)

Grew up in Canada. Basically accurate.

I'm australian and was scrolling through going "no, nada, nope, nu-uh," Hadn't even heard of half of them.

As a Brit I didn't know a lot of these...

Or in MIDDLE-CLASS SUBURBAN AMERICA, 'cause cable seems to be a pre-req for most of these.

WRONG. I´m spanish, and I feel identified with the 95% of those things. Also, playing Sonic right now by the holy glory of EMULATORS

MegaDrives are super cheap off eBay and it's really easy to do a region mod to them, both model I and II with a single switch.

I´ve one MegaDrive, but it's dead. I´m going to rebuild it with a Raspberry Pi and a resolded cartridges slot.

I live in the UK - I was familiar with almost everything on here, except Bill Nye, the Magic Eye II and the weird belt clip thingummyjig =\

As a UK-type, I owned that magic eye book, so it was certainly here, but the fad wasn't particularly long-lived.
LittleAutumnLeaves
Cool! Was it just a book of illusions?
witsd
Oh wow, you don't know about magic eye pictures? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostereogram
ashleypomeroy
But how many of these are you familiar with from reading about on Imgur many years later, though? Oregon Trail frinstance, and Taco bell.

Not sure about Oregon Trail, but we have Taco Bell in the UK - at least, we do in London =)

80% ish were rather gender neutral. Everything involving hair, lipsmacker, fortune tellers, leggings, not as much.

Same here, I've never been able to make one work.
MISSFANCYPLANTS
I can't see that shit either
litterboxjen
me neither
Megabyte1024
Ive got the same problem, for me its because I had an opearion on my eye when I was younger rendering my eyes unable to work in a pair :(
Alpacalypsenow
I'm blind in one eye, so I can't see them either :(
TheGate
First time I ever saw one properly, I was 10 and in the school library for silent reading time. I yelled 'SICK!' pretty loudly. Yes, 'sick'.

I have really bad eyes and multiple seeing disorders, i've never seen one, i just stopped trying now
BorisDisco
I only ever saw a negative image, where the background popped out instead of the shape, and could never to tell what the hell it was
MeridaIsMySpiritAnimal
I learned about it in my cognitive psych class, a small % of the population have a thing with their vision where they can't see it. I do too

to this day i think they're a hoax
americasnexttopmacguffin
My eye doctor said I have horizontal mismatch -- so I never could get them to work -- medicine has spoken!
Alpacalypsenow
I went blind in one eye as a teenager. Not being able to see these things is one of the things that bothers me most
sushifire
I agree. I couldn't cross my eyes or whatever you had to do... Made me so mad when my friends could see it but not me.
MeridaIsMySpiritAnimal
I learned about it in my cognitive psych class, a small % of the population have a thing with their vision where they can't see it

I don't know if I feel "sad" or "special." haha Thanks!

No prob, I can't see them either. It always frustrated the hell out of me when I was a kid & everyone else could see them
TheRompingRaccoon
Cross your eyes and slowly uncross them
Sterconigrak
The right answer. It's really super simple abs once you do it once, you'll never struggle again.
GraemeDynard
Cross your eyes til it appears. Simple.
SevenLeagueBoots
I'm already cross-eyed.
ThatsInsanity
I never could either. Is it supposed to be a single picture or repeated? I don't understand those things

Do you have astigmatism? I have astigmatism & can't see those things, & binoculars are a pain in the ass, too.
thebattybird
I only recently learned how to do them. I have to admit that they weren't nearly as amazing as I always imagined. So very anticlimactic.
h3lium
Try practicing by putting two identical images next to eachother, then stare at them and sort of half-cross your eyes, and keep doing that.
creepwood
It's a schooner
KierCalhen
If you go back and watch it, and do the magic eye, it's not actually a boat. I was disappointed and lied to.

I was always able to get my eyes to do the depth difference part, but I'd still never be able to discern what it was
ChocolateMonkeyBalls
I have three of those books sitting on a shelf right behind me...
Luminousfox
the relax and focus stuff is bullshit just go crosseyed and look at them
SpyceyBrycey
And if we can't cross our eyes?
SevenLeagueBoots
I'm already cross-eyed.
Luminousfox
go into a even more cross-eyed state then :O
SevenLeagueBoots
That just makes two of everything. It just doesn't work. I am physically unable to see it.
Luminousfox
sure you're not seeing it?, its just a really subtle 3d depth effect that isn't as impressive as people make them out to be, do you have 1/2
Luminousfox
2/2issues with new aged 3d effects at cinemas because they use the same idea,also does this become 3d for you
LadyTotesMcGoats
thats what i do then i stress my eyes slowly back to normal and the image pops out
Luminousfox
yup, never heard of someone doing it via the focus and relaxing way
mishamaro
Omg you guys.... 27 years of struggle And tonight I have finally made a breakthrough and saw the 3d image!
TheMoosemoose
Same here! One of my prouder moments.
claviceps
How? I'd come to the conclusion that my eyes are misaligned or something because I had a lazy eye and I always ran away from the eyepatch
Txapela
Yes, lazy eye can cause loss of depth perception and 3D vision. Do you usually bump into stuff? http://www.healthline.com/symptom/lazy-eye
claviceps
I do, I bump into stuff all the time. I'll tell my ophthalmologist and see if it can still be fixed
bubblehearth
Don't look AT the picture. Look PAST the picture. And yes, lazy eye might effect your focus and ability to do that.
mishamaro
it's all about the focus I think. I don't know if the lazy eye could affect it.
