Does anyone remember these hair jewels that were like mini springs that you pulled a bit apart to grip on your hair? And then rip half your hair out trying to remove them all and you always missed one so when the hairbrush caught them it was agony.
i remember when River Island used to be Chelsea Girl ! ..every Saturday me and my friends used to go to CG in the 80s
Are WKD (blue) and Smirnoff Ice still the teenage drinks of choice? I know they’re around but no one seems to drink them anymore. Maybe I’m just old 
Sugar magazine was the best. For some reason I considered it far more sophisticated than Bliss, Mizz, etc. All the free gifts were tat, except for the occasional short story/book excerpt which I loved

Any one remember Taboo and Mirage Alcoholic drinks?
Loved those as a teen .thought it was height of sophistication..Taboo and lemonade
Managed to convince my mum to buy me some telling her some BS about it not really being alcohol
Always went Taboo and Lemonade, was never a fan of Mirage. Loved Pernod and Black too! I was also partial to Martini Bianco and Lemonade. Always reminds me of my holidays back in day.Mad dog 20/20 white grape or black grape, now that was a proper teen drink. The orange one was vile. I can still taste it now. Makes me want to vom 
My mum still has some of the Esso wine glasses !Does anyone remember a shop called Eisenigger? Did jackets, zip up fleeces etc. ALWAYS 90% off! £99 reduced to £8.99 lol, even day 1 on the shelves!

And Head bags..mine was luminous pink amd my cousin had a lilac one !
Their joss sticks were lovely, I liked the patchouli and amber, I think it was something like that. There was also a shop called The Pier, one in Birmingham anyway, sold all sorts of interesting household bits and bobs from around the world.
I love this thread. 
for me it’s endless summers, fun house, knightmare, those Ice cream screwballs (with bubble gum in the bottom), salt n shake crisps, sega master systems, Big! Magazine, Blind date and bay watch on a Saturday night, um bongo juice drinks and Pogs!!

I remember in one issue they had penises of men from all over the world and you had to try and guess what country they were from.
They sell umbongo in co op. I buy it all the time. It's less bananary now tho
Salt n shake crisps are still sold. They’re owned by Walkers now, but thankfully the recipe can’t exactly be tinkered with much!I love this thread.
Snap!! I had the bright pink with purple straps and my cousin had the lilac with light green
The original Milky Way. Which was repackaged as a flyte bar which was promoted as low cal but then that disappeared. It was brown not white in the middle, they’ve never tasted the same since. This would be in the 90s
OMG KNIGHTMARE!!! The headset and virtual reality? We all thought that was the coolest thing everI love this thread.
Omg! I’m gonna have to find some!! I used to love opening that little blue packet and sprinkling it on! Hahaha xz
It was my fave kids programme! I always wanted to go on it! Was brilliant! ‘Take two steps forward!’OMG KNIGHTMARE!!! The headset and virtual reality? We all thought that was the coolest thing ever
