00s nostalgia #3

[RaveChampion]

The "singing fish" cost around 30 quid back then IIRC so they weren't quite cheap enough to risk buying for something that had the potential to become irritating quickly. They became ubiquitous though. Pubs/ shops/workplaces/mantlepieces/TV etc.

With the pin mould things the key was to put a silica pouch on it to prevent rusting/the pins sticking. Naturally I never bothered.
Everyone used to do a mould of their profile but there's only so many things you could try.
You can get bigger ones now with multicoloured plastic pins. I was tempted to buy a large one the other year for nostalgias sake.

I knew a lad who essentially put his erection on his for posterity and for the lols. It honestly wasn't me.
So you also had to be wary of putting your face etc on other peoples pin mould things depending on their level of trustworthiness.

I used to watch Made, Boiling Points, Super Sweet 16 on MTV and I remember a dating show called Dismissed too I think

Also used to love taping stuff on VHS and taping songs off the radio on cassette! Was always so annoyed when the presenter would talk over the end of the song

We had one of these!! I really wanted it for my kids but mum threw it in a skip many years ago

My brother still has his in perfect working order. Mine quickly fell to bits.
People also found the following profoundly hilarious and I myself wanted one for around 45 mins in 2000.

Yeah that's it. For some reason I actually used to enjoy the feel of it. Ha.

I remember carrying around one of those clunky CD players to listen to music while sitting on public transport or in the school library, etc. I don't necessarily miss them compared to the ease of access to music nowadays, but it was fun to decide which album I'm going to take to school that day to listen to.

I’m not really sure why or if they’re even still on there, but BBC iPlayer had some episodes of super sweet 16 a few months ago if you’re interested

Did anyone watch the show bump and grind on Trouble?

I played my cascada CD to death

I still say ‘I am who I am because of Vicki!’ At least once a week

Orange Wednesdays were amazing! Back when the cinema was actually great, too.

What I Like About You. I was thinking about this show recently, and just realised it’s now been added to Netflix

Reposting from the 90s fashion thread - I think this was still available into the early 00s. I’m so excited!!

- - -

NOT 90s fashion but 90s related.

It‘s confirmed - Dewberry is coming back!!!

Next Monday!

Can anyone remember an alcopop from the 90s that was lemon or blackcurrant flavour - not Hooch, Metz, Reef…having a debate this evening and one of our friends is convinced it existed but can’t remember the name of it

The only lemon ones I can think of are Barcardi Breezer and Two Dogs?.

High School Musical is 20 this week, and Hannah Montana is 20 in March 🥲

I think it might have been Two Dogs - thank you!
