1. Saturday morning cartoons
Waking up early just to watch your favorite shows in pajamas, with a big bowl of cereal.
2. Trading cards and sticker albums
Whether it was baseball cards, Pokémon, or shiny sticker books — collecting felt like a big adventure.
3. Playground games
Tag, jump rope, hopscotch, and four square — hours could pass in a flash.
4. Handwritten notes and friendship bracelets
Little notes folded into creative shapes, and colorful bracelets made for (and by) your best friends.
5. Waiting to hear your favorite song on the radio
Then hitting record on your cassette tape, hoping the DJ wouldn’t talk over the intro.
6. School lunch surprises
From cartoon-printed lunchboxes to finding a handwritten note from mom tucked inside.
7. Retro video games and arcades
Blowing into NES cartridges or lining up quarters on an arcade machine, waiting for your turn.
8. Sleepovers and pillow forts
Staying up late sharing secrets, eating snacks, and building forts out of blankets and couch cushions.
9. Collectible toys in cereal boxes and Happy Meals
The thrill of finding a tiny toy or figure inside your breakfast cereal or fast-food meal.
10. Watching movies on VHS tapes
Rewinding your favorite scenes over and over, and sometimes accidentally taping over family videos.
