44 Signs You Grew Up in the 90's.

It's no secret that I love the 90's. If you grew up in the 90's then you know what I mean. Everything from the slang terms to the toys to the TV shows to the food was just better. I'm officially dedicating this post to everyone who grew up in the 90's, because we're the best generation to have ever existed (kidding...kinda #conceited). If you grew up in the 90's, then you'll totally understand these 44 things. 
1 | You're still waiting for Mary-Kate and Ashley to call you. 

2 | If your school supplies weren't Lisa Frank, then you were doing life wrong.
3 | You've bought a CD just to listen to one song. And then you listened to the whole CD on repeat and fell in love with the rest of the songs. 
4 | You owe all of your common sense to Amanda Bynes and her Ask Ashley letters from All That. 

5 | When your parents wouldn't let you go to summer camp, you just watched Bug Juice (it doesn't come in a jar. Bug juice comes from who you are!), because it was pretty much like you were there. It was also the first reality TV show that you fell in love with.
6 | You ate all of the cereal as fast as you could (or just stuck your hand in the box) so you could get the prize in the cereal box.

15 | You remember when McDonald's actually had legit toys. 
16 | ...and Cracker Jack also had real prizes. 
17 | You knew which Spice Girl you were (and all of your friends wanted to be Baby).

18 | Getting on the computer meant you were learning something on a JumpStart game, playing Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, or creating your new wallpaper on Paint. 
19 | You knew all the words to the following theme songs: Fresh Prince, Full House, Saved by the Bell, and Brady Bunch. 
20 | You wondered wondered what was in a Wonder Ball, and when you finally got one, you thought they were going to be bigger.

28 | You wanted your best friend to invest in a ladder so they could climb through your window rather than using the front door.

32 | You felt rebellious every time you sang and danced along to the "Thong Song."

33 | You struggled while doing the Hokey Pokey at your friend's birthday party at the skating rink.
34 | Furbies were awesome in commercials, but scary as crap in real life (and you still don't understand why they made a comeback). 
35 | Your favorite toys/games were Tamagotchis, Sky Dancers, Polly Pockets, Barbies, Magic 8 Balls, Mall Madness, Perfection, and Trolls.
36 | You debated naming your first-born girl Topanga.  
37 | Question: Are you afraid of the dark? Answer: Yes.
