You’re a 90’s kid if...
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

You remember watching:

[x] Kenan and Kel;
[x] Doug;
[x] Ren & Stimpy;
[x] Pinky & the Brain;
[x] AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!;
[x] Rocko's Modern Life;
[x] Animaniacs; (And I curse the Dutch translated version they're airing these days. Can someone say "Jokes lost in translation"?)
[x] Gargoyles;
[x] Hey Arnold!;
[ ] Out of the Box;
[x] Bear in the Big Blue House.

[x] You’ve ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"; (Actually I pronounced it as "SYKE!")
[x] You just can’t resist finishing this: "In west Philadelphia born and raised...". (IT'S IN MY MIND! IT'S IN MY MIIIIIND! DAMN YOU, WILL SMITH! DAMN YOU!)

You remember:

[x] Step by Step;
[x] Family Matters;
[x] Dinosaurs;
[x] Boy Meets World;
[x] Full House. (OH GOD I REMEMBER IT ALL. I was a major TV junkie appearantly.)

[x] You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons; (BLUE STREAK, SPEEDS BYYYY, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG! and HEY PAIZANO'S! IT'S THE SUPER MARIO BROS. SUPER SHOW! and SAMURAI PIZZA CATS!)
[x] You remember reading Goosebumps.

When everything was settled by:

[x] "Rock/paper/scissors";
[ ] "Bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish"; (Wait, what.)
[ ] "Miss Mary Mack". (Oh, I get it. Silly Americans.)

[ ] When kickball was something you did everyday; (Kickball, isn't that the poor kid's baseball?)
[ ] You used to listen to the radio all day long; (I was more of a TV kid.)
[ ] Just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape. (I remember tapes. My brothers used those. God I pity them. CD's were a lot more useful. I wonder if I still have those Sonic Dance CDs. Nothing like pasting a popular game character's face on average 90s music CD to up the sales, huh marketing team of the 90s?)

[x] You remember Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis; (Do I ever.)
[x] You remember The Original Game Boy; (Thanks to my brothers, I ended up with like four of those!)
[x] You always wanted to send in a tape to America’s Funniest Home Videos... but never taped anything funny; (I'm just going to make "Watched AFHV" as a requirement for this one.)

You remember watching:

[x] The Magic School Bus;
[ ] Wishbone; (Hey!)
[ ] Reading Rainbow; (Unfair!)
[ ] Ghostwriter. (I'm not American!)

[x] You remember when Yo-Yo's were cool;
[x] You remember those "Where’s Waldo" books;
[ ] You remember eating Warheads and Splashers Gushers. (You crazy Americans and your strange cereals and candies...)

You remember watching:

[x] Batman the Animated Series; (MARK HAMILL WAS HERE. HEATH'S A LOSER. ALSO HE'S DEAD.)
[x] Aladdin;
[x] Ninja Turtles;
[x] Ghost Busters.

[x] You remember Ring Pops!!!; (Note to self: Explain to what they are)
[x] You remember when everything was "da BOMB!";
[x] You remember boom boxes vs. CD players; (I'd explain why, but that'd be racist.)

[x] Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them; (Those weren't cookies, more like folded little cubes.)
[x] You played and/or collected Pogs; (And Flippo's, and just about any other goddamned thing the market would churn out in a marketing scheme to sell shit kids would otherwise never want.)
[x] You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere you went. (I had a Tamagotchi. Turns out I'm horrible at keeping those things alive, to the point where I'd reenact Saw on them. And Saw didn't even exist yet, go figure.)

You watched the original cartoons of:

[x] Rugrats;
[x] Wild Thornberrys; (Nigel Thornberry, you are a horrible man. HORRIBLE.)
[x] Power Rangers.

[ ] All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand. (Is this another American thing? Fuck you, my school supplies were awesome and had stuff like Garfield on them. In fact, I'm giving myself an 'X'ed square right now for that.)
[x] You were awesome and had school supplies with Garfield on them.

You collected:

[ ] Beanie Babies;
[x] Pokemon cards; (Thanks to an imported US magazine, I knew about Pokémon Snap and accidentally made Pokémon popular in my street before any of us knew what the hell Pokémon WERE. Oh, Bulbasaur. You were always my favorite. Crazy dinosaur-plant thing.)
[x] Carebears; (No lie. I remember having at least one of those things. I'm going to excuse myself by saying they had belly lasers, which was awesome.)
[x] Silver dollars. (You mean special coins, right? Because I was like Scrooge McDuck when it came to collecting shiny stuff.)
[x] MARBLES. (How could the creator of this meme forget marbles of all thing? It was THE trading and betting currency of the 90s Dutch kid! The ones with cartoon characters printed on them were the lowest value, those sucked. The giant glass ones, now those were the good shit. Was like holding a pure golden trophy in your hands.)

You remember when:

[x] Everyone watched the WB;
[x] Everybody knew all the Pokemon by heart; (I managed to remember all 251 out of my head.)
[x] Digimon was still on; (YES. DOUBLE FUCKING YES.)
[x] If you even know what an original Walkman is;
[x] You know the Macarena by heart; (Dancing poses and some of the lyrics.)
[x] "Talk to the hand"; (Talk to the hand, cause the Ron's not listening.)
[x] You went to McDonald’s to play in the playplace and it was still sanitary; (KING OF THE hold on, what do you mean 'still sanitary'? Oh god, don't tell me kids piss in those things these days. HERESY.)
[x] Before the MySpace frenzy; ( "pfff, MySpace...")(Tell me about it, Bourge. In the old days, we walked across the street to get friends.)
[x] Before the Internet & text messaging; (I was there before it began, I was there at the beginning. I made a good call learning how to use it before the rest.)
[x] Before Sidekicks & iPods; (I know what iPods are, but what the bloody hell is a Sidekick? Do I get to be Batman and get a bunch of underaged kids killed?)
[x] Before PlayStation3 or X-Box 360; (Back in the day, console wars was NINTENDO VS SEGA. And boy, were we ever fanatic about it.)
[x] Back before X-Box period; (Back when consoles weren't heavy enough to kill a cat.)
[x] Before SpongeBob; (It was a sad, dark and cold time before the Yellow one enlightened us with giggles and joy.)
[x] When light up sneakers were cool; (They were "THA BOMB", or so to say. Shit was horrible quality though.)
[x] When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs; (People RENT DVDs these days? Whatever happened to Bittorrent?)
[x] When gas was $0.95 a gallon; (I'm just going to nod, because being a 90s kid meant YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BOTHER WITH GAS.)
[x] When we recorded stuff on VCR; (Well duh. How else was I going to watch the cool movies when I had to go somewhere else for a moment?)
[x] You had slap bracelets; (More like slap WEAPONS.)
[x] You actually played outside until it was dark; (I think I missed a lot of good things that way.)
[x] Way back before we realized all this would eventually disappear; (Note to self: Go back in time. Horribly scar younger self, and determine what will make a fortune in the future. ???. PROFIT.)
[x] Post this if you smiled at least more than 5 times; (They were wishful smiles, but quickly followed by the depressing thought that kids these days will ruin EVERYTHING.)
[x] And if you remember at least half the stuff on here. (More like 90%! I'M A RADICAL EXTREME PARTY-DUDE OF THE 90s!)
