The funny thing about classic TV shows is that, due to syndication, you might have enjoyed them long after they originally aired. Many of us felt a connection to shows like The Brady Bunch, I Dream of Jeannie, The Love Boat, and so many more, even though they were already off the air. Iconic TV Characters Seem to Last ForeverThat’s why it can be surprising that some of these beloved shows now have no surviving cast members. Weren’t they just on? A good example is The Golden Girls, which after the death of Betty White at age 1999 in 2023 sadly, became an example of this. That said, the actresse...

I know what you’re thinking: “Of course, I remember laser disks. I still have some in my basement!” But that’s not what I am referring to. I’m talking about video disks. A friend and I were discussing my recent article, “Can You Identify These ’70s Objects?” and the topic of home video came up. I then mentioned how much fun we had watching video disks in the early ’80s. He replied, “Like video laser disks? The ones that look like giant CDs.” I said, “No, the ones that looked like 78 RPM records.” YOU MIGHT LIKE: 7 ‘Carol Burnett Show’ Characters Who Still Make Us Laugh He stared at me, bewilde...

You may have caught our recent nostalgic “rabbit hole dive” on some of our favorite Fisher-Price Little People sets. It seems we’ve struck a chord, as many of you responded with fond memories, saying things like, “Oh wow, those were the best!” and some of you likely headed to eBay to buy some for … your nephew. That’s it, your nephew. Yeah, that’s the ticket. READ MORE: 30 Toys That Defined the ’70s In the late ’70s, many of us began to feel that the Little People sets were a bit babyish.

The 1990s were filled with Beanie Babies, achy breaky hearts, Tamagotchi’s and a bunch of other things we should leave behind. But what about those snacks that Mom kept hidden in the pantry? Remember Butterfinger BB’s? What about Hi-C Ecto Cooler and 3D Doritos? These are just a few of the beloved ’90s snacks that disappeared. But fear not, some of the snacks on this list have made comeback in later years, so never lose hope.

If you used to buy movies at the mall, it’s a lock you did your shopping at once place: Suncoast Motion Picture Company. Informally known as Suncoast Video to most of its customers, the chain was ubiquitous in malls all over the United States in the 1990s. The stores stocked hundreds of titles on VHS and later on DVD. They also sold music, and various movie and pop-culture related toys and collectibles. All the stores had the same distinctive red neon sign hanging over the entrance. If you grew up loving movies in the ’90s, just that logo alone will probably make you nostalgic. I worked in a m...

Not too long ago, a curious trend swept across the internet. People were going on about how a single sound was somehow triggering a wave of nostalgia for them and transporting them back to the simple days of their childhoods. This was particularly resonating with ’90s kids. Nostalgia triggers like this are often hard to explain. Why would a sound evoke memories in a large group of people? Was it a popular TV theme song? The “mooo!” on the Fisher-Price barn? Nope. It was a bird. Say Hello to the Nostalgic Bird Call of the Mourning DoveThe somewhat haunting “woo-woo” call of the mourning dove ha...

Walking through a vintage car show, you can’t help but notice just how different old cars feel. Hop in one and you realize that they’re built like tanks (or boats, as we used to say) but somehow, they also feel oddly futuristic. Your Dashboard Has Never Been More ComplicatedWhen I was recently upgrading my own ride, I realized just how complicated new cars have become—and I consider myself a bit of a tech-head. The sales associate offered to give me a crash course in all the features. There were so many that I told him I’d rather just look up everything on YouTube when I get home. Turns out, t...

Everything eventually becomes “vintage,” and that includes those wide-legged JNCO jeans you tossed in the garbage in the early 2000s, which are selling for quite a lot of money. JNCO jeans, jorts and even shirts are going for big bucks on resale sites as the brand is seeing a resurgence in popularity. You can even get new pairs of jeans straight from JNCO.com for as much as $280. JNCO (Judge None Choose One) started as a much smaller brand in Los Angeles in 1985. The jeans, known for their wide leg sizes and flashy embroidered images, were later introduced in 1993. As Mental Floss tells it, JN...
