I grew up in the 1970s. We were eating candy cigarettes. 😄

Bro 90s sweets?

Gushers

String thing

Dunkaroos

Choco tacos

Squeezits

Fruit by the foot

Fruit rollups.

If you know anyone in their late 30s to early 40s, be surprised they have teeth.

Of course we didn’t have iPhones then. We had a pet in a small box and it died if you didn’t press the buttons the right number of times every day.

Ah yes I remember the sound of dial up modems and churning butter like yesterday.

I like how they also failed to show a picture of a baked sweet.

Does putting a jumbo marshmellow on a saltine cracker and nuking it for 15 seconds in the microwave count as a baked sweet?

Maybe they meant 1898.

Bitch, I spent hours on illegally copying a disc of age of empires I borrowed from a class mate. I didn't even have a walkman anymore (I do now, ironically)

Born in '86, I remember when classmates were shivving each other for Pokemon cards and Pogs.

Excuse me while I go crumble into dust and blow away.

Also, holy shit, at least where I was the late 90s were peak “low fat” (high sugar) product times, there was SO much sweet garbage to buy. If anything more than there is now, because now there’s the mindset among most people that we should probably cut back on sweets.

1998, where sweets are baked, not bought.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh yes I was born in 1990 those good old days where there were no cars, no electricity, no plumbing, no vaccines, people weren’t going to school ah yes the good old days

You wouldn't last 10 ticks inna twencen hood, choom. Eddies down.

Ah yes as we know people in the 19th century didn't purchase sweets like coca cola (1886) and Turkish delight (conflicting data but could go back to 1777, the Byzantine empire, or sefavid Persia but possibly earlier). Also as we know the concept of markets is a crazy new idea and we have absolutely no extensive written records of ancient civillians having markets where people would barter and trade goods.

I often refer to 2000 as the turn of the century, and it causes confusion among old people. I'm old, too, BTW.

Back in the day, much of the fiction people saw was set in the past. You saw Marie Antoinette and Cleopatra in cartoons and commercials. Sup0erman met Sitting Bull. Today there are very few shows / movies set in the past, so people don't have the same perspective.
