In my day, we threw rocks into the neighbors pool and took turns getting them out at 12yrs instead of taking selfies for Instagram.

In my day most people had mobile phones instead of smartphones.

I might really date myself here, but...

In my day, pogs and slammers were da domb!



And paper fortune tellers were in everyone's trapper keepers.

Thoose things were popular before '10's tho.

Yeeeep... about 20 years before the 10s.


Edit: Get off my lawn!

I meant until '10 at least in my country. I remember having star wars tokens, spider man cards, yu gi oh cards and all of that stuff.

I'm a lot younger than some people on here, but um....


SQUINKIES: I have a really funny story about these


SILLY BANDZ



^ That meant you were cool.

Amen to that. We used coins.

I dunno about the top one, but we definitely had the bottom one in the 80s.

And slap bracelets.

And Pop Rocks candy.

How did I forget about slap bracelets!?

Oh man... now I kinda want one again.

((They still sell them ))

In my day, people went to the skating rink and skated around to Paula Abdul songs on four-wheeled roller skates :p

In my day, more people went outside to play or to the library to read a book, instead of playing video games all day.

In my day, Furbies and American Girl dolls were really popular, and Beanie Babies were insanely valuable to have. I've even heard that rare ones sold for thousands at one point.

In my day, state quarters sold like hotcakes!

Ahhhh yes.

And in my day, people were getting into fist-fights in grocery stores over Tickle-Me Elmo.

And trolls. Lots of little trolls. Lol

Haha. Indeed.

In myyyy day...all quarters had the eagle on the back and there were no state quarters yet! *gasp* hehe

In my day you could still find drive-in restaurants.

In my day, we had fake flip phones for kids, just so we could say we had a phone, at the WalMart in my town that I stole once.... My parents caught me... Yah let's just say I never, EVER stole again....

Also in my day, kids in like the 1st grade didn't have phones.....

In my day when I was a teenager, phones had coiled cables attached to them and I had to step outside stretching the cord and closing the door on the cable to have a private conversation with my girlfriend.
