And really badly-printed covers done on an inkjet printer; ditto CDs.
Showing my age....we had the video man, he came once a week with his van of vhs/Betamax’s and he did pirate videos even back then! (Early/Mid 80’s)
Reading through this thread has been a trip down memory lane 
things that come to mind are:
Bursting Bugs sweets
Fame Academy
Top of the Pops on a Friday night
Sticker albums for films, sports, etc. I remember sending off for the last few needed to complete my collection
Stamped Addressed Envelopes and entering competitions with them
Milk in cartons - when did it switch to plastic bottles?
The early days of social media - picking your top 8 friends on MySpace and giving Love on Bebo

I miss Pan Yan Pickle. I preferred it to Branston.

The Simpsons comic where you could send in your drawings
More Magazine
Wash In-Wash Out hair dye which came in little sachets
Bebo and Piczo
Habbo Hotel
Soap & Glory used to do a really good night cream called "Night Cream in Shining Armour", I always used to get compliments on my skin. They replaced it with another night cream which was no where near as good!
Tammy Girl and La Senza Girl
Puppy in my Pocket
When clothing stores sold really cute clothes and accessories, now most stuff is bland, generic and poorly made IMO
Matey bubble bath
Collection 2000 glitter eyeliner
When The Body Shop paired up in MTV and made a lip butter in aid of a "safe sex" campaign - it was the loveliest lip butter I have ever used

Oh my god the Simpsons comics! I was always gutted when my (tit) drawings never made it in
Sorry about the late reply Andy Crane is on greatest hits radio.I didn’t actually mean Andy Peters. I meant another Andy
I didn’t mean him. I’ve had wine
ANDY CRANE!I was close
I don't know if this was a local thing but 'Smokebusters' . It was like some club thing we signed up for at school and it was anti smoking and we got anti smoking merchandise. I had a window sticker.
I obviously didn't learn much cos I smoked during my late teens

I remember being devastated if the sega mega drive/ps1 game i wanted to rent out from Choices wasn’t available. It would genuinely ruin my weekend!
Does anyone else remember a magazine from the 90’s called PC Genius? I think the issues were monthly, my granddad who was big into computers even back then got me a subscription. The magazines came with a floppy disc/cd-rom containing educational games from things like maths and English to basic coding and foreign languages. With each issue you’d get more games. It was probably aimed at kids age 5-10? There were little mascots/characters in the game which were animals of some kind. I loved it! Barely remember reading the magazine but when ever I was at my grand parents I was playing on pc genius, can still remember the cheesy start up music
I also had a frog game which was based around maths I think. I want to say it was Frogger, but it wasn’t like the Frogger games In the traditional sense, I’ve tried looking it up but haven’t been able to find what it was. I remember one activity on there where you had to repair/rebuild a log cabin by answering simple addition and takeaway sums. I’m sure there were other ones but that one must have been my favourite.
There was also another educational kind of pc game thing. I think I got at least one from the school book fair. Can’t remember for the life of me what they were called but each one was ‘themed’. I’m sure I had one about Ancient Rome And I remember my school having one on electricity. It was a lot of point and click type stuff. I’m gonna have to do some digging to see if I can remember the name because it’ll annoy me now.
Adiboo, the original one where it was point and click, you could grow your own crops and make stuff in the kitchen. I’d spend hours making all sorts of weird concoctions most turning out bad.
Disney gave away demo cdroms in cereal boxes I think it was. They were always fun to waste time on. In a weird way I’d love to go back and mess around with some of these old pc programmes. Maybe even show them to my own kids.
