Things in life that have just quietly disappeared

[Hastaggifted]

It was awful!! so many girls at school had it haha

It was the chavvy girls at my school that had them!

Does anyone remember trousers with the skirts attached. I LOVED them and had about 5 different colours .

Brookside was epic!

My mum and dad still do in their bathroom but liquid soap in the kitchen

Yep my mum still buys imperial leather soap for the bathroom. The smell of it makes me cringe as i remember her washing my face with it caked on a flannel. Cant stand the smell of it now

Haha loved that episode. Where she's celled up with that Jamaican woman who raggs her nails off. Miss that show. Old fenner and bodybag and the julies

Ahhh bad girls i am actually binge watching that at the moment the way Yvonne Atkins died trapped in that underground thing really spooked me when I was younger....still does!

All those teen mags like Sugar, Bliss and Just 17 seem to have suddenly disappeared! As a 90s teen, we were obsessed with them and lovingly curated them, re-reading the problem pages and admiring the hunks from all the boybands and soaps. Did the internet sadly take over?

I loved The Queen's Nose and The Demon Headmaster. The theme tunes make me soo nostalgic.
Also loved Sleepover Club... it was an Australian show on CITV, I think.

And afraid of the dark

Bath pearls - at least that's what I think they were called. I'm sure you can probably still get them but I haven't seen them in years.

Ooh they used to be in jars like sweets in Body Shop and you could pick and mix the colours! Nearly broke your neck slipping on the oil in the bath after you used them, probably why they don’t make them anymore!

I'm an early 90s baby and yes, even up to about 15 I looked childish. All me and my friends wore was zip up hoodie a and combat trousers with the millions of straps hanging off them

My cousin is 14 and has had eyebrow appointments for at least 2 years and proper full face of make up, modern hair do, influencer approved clothing from Boohoo and jewellery and looks a lot older than 14. Social media definitely has a lot to answer for.

It’s really obvious if you compare say spice girls with girls aloud or little mix, the latter look so polished and covered in makeup, whereas I always thought spice girls were beautiful but very natural looking (most of the time anyway )

Phones now have so many tones to choose from people just don't bother with their own anymore.

My phone barely rings anymore WhatsApp, fb messages and snapchat are all I accept these days

The Queens Nose (TV programme) - pretty sure no one else has ever seen this!
Snow Flakes (white chocolate flakes)
Salt and Vinegar Discos





Apart from the “nudge” button that used to shake the whole screen! So annoying

I remember The Queen’s Nose!
Mmm, loved a Snow Flake and keep hoping they’ll bring them back.

No but I remember More magazine with the sex positions

Oh god. That used to shock me and I’m not a prude

Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High books!

Tales of the unexpected theme tune freaked me out!

When you think of all the great quiz/tv shows there was and now we've got the masked singer.
