If there's one thing that's great about the 90s, it's that you can get away with the weirdest things on the market. With that said, the kinds of toys we had in that particular decade as well as in the two preceding decades were certainly the highlights of our childhood, and as weird as some of them are, they definitely made growing up a lot more fun—even if we didn't even realize how iconic they were back then.

It's truly a universal experience and feeling to be missing the classic 90s life, especially when most of us grew up watching Sunday morning cartoons while playing with our toys that sometimes don't even make sense, all we just know is that they make us happy. Some of us may even have the opportunity to rummage through our old things and find a lot of stuff that's too nostalgic to throw away.

It's a no-brainer that they just don't make toys now as they do before, and it's a sad thing to see that kids nowadays are submerging themselves in technology even in their early years. A lot of us adults are still kids at heart, though, and could still appreciate a funny and entertaining toy every now and then!

Let's take a trip into memory lane, and maybe you'll even see your forgotten favorite childhood toy as you scroll along the way!
