Answer 1

Oh my god, are you me?!!!!!!
That is absolutely spot on! I'm 25 and my boyf 29 and we were talking about all those things the other day!!!!!!!
It's so weird! I remember and love every single one! Especially fresh prince, keenan and kel, 'I know you are!', 'Not!', and so on. I actually did make Tracy Island for an Easter egg competition at school and made the ships out of hard boiled eggs and remember getting so drunk on hooch I was sick as a dog. Saturday tv used to be great, not full of reality tv!I had hair mascara, jelly shoes, Pj and Duncans album, the Sony walkman, the 3310, loads of scrunchies, the lot! I did it all! I am so sad I actually have kept my jelly shoes at my moms house as memorabilia! Those days will never be back! (maybe it's a good thing!) But my kids watch keenan and kel and pinky and the brain and love them so the 1990s will live on forever!
Congratulations, you truly have captured everything that was great about being a kid in the 1990's!
