Pogs, the looney tunes ones from the Walkers crisps that you collected and put in a folder

Omg I had all the spice girl photos. I lost the albums and sometimes randomly wonder where they went?!? Pretty convinced at the time they would be worth a fortune

They only did them with the first album... after that they went on everything else do you remeber? Polaroid, crisps, lollipops.
I dont know of any other pop band ever to release photographs like that.

I remember the photographs too. I wasn’t allowed but others in my primary school had them. I think they were dressed for various ‘themes.’ I say this as the only one I even vaguely remember was Baywatch themed I think...? I’ve never seen that merchandise since either , but has there been a pop band quite so big since ? They were a phenomenon, second only to the Beatles in all of music history. No one would buy girls aloud photographs. Also I think they were supposed to be a ‘girly’ equivalent to those football stickers that were huge for collecting and swapping at the time.
 
OK, is anyone else young enough to remember the Sabrina The Teenage Witch magazine? I LOVED it.

Also, TY beanie babies. They aren't the same now.

Glitter Babes products from Boots were my favourite growing up. Not sure if they're still around.
do you remember the purple box that came with the Sabrina magazine ? I love Sabrina though, I have the dvd boxset haha!
Loved beanie babies too.

Omg!

Anyone watched the queens nose or the demon headmaster? They haunted me in my dreams!!
the headmaster gave me nightmares!!!

I actually walked past a HMV today and was so shocked, I assumed they’d all closed. It’s a wonder they get any business! Suppose it’s older people maybe.

I judge anyone who still owns any cds or dvds

I’m ashamed to say I had a few of these bags, I had the Barbie bag, purse, hoodies, top and coat I was in my early 20’s as well I should have known better
I had the barbie one too- I was a similar age and thought I looked amazing they weren’t cheap either!

Trev and Simon!!!! So funny .... I love this thread!!!
I met Trev, he got married at my church, he came with his fiance to look at the church after a Sunday morning service, some of the youth group, me included, were practicing a play for the following week. He watched us and told us it was great!! We were also star struck!!!!
 
So I looked up spice girl albums on Ebay... and you can get 102/120 pictures in the album for ..... £5! I'm sure the packets of photos were £2 each in 1997 so massive decrease in value lol.

Over lockdown while working out I listened to the now albums in order from now 48 (2001) until 2004. After then it just gets shit.

Did anyone have a girl talk cassette recorder?
