Man, give it up for New Wave Tropical, the unsung 90's aesthetic that actually started in the late 70's https://cari.institute/aesthetics/new-wave-tropical I swear everyone had at least one shirt like the tropical fish shirt that you either got at an aquarium or at the beach some where on vacation

One of GOAT snack foods. After Keebler was broken up in the late 90’s, they were discontinued.

Gonz posted:One of GOAT snack foods. Betty Crocker used to make this stuff called Snackin' Cake. It was a completely unified cake mix, all you did was add water. It was the highest ratio of deliciousnes:effort ever, but it's not made anymore. And if you google for it it's supposedly from the 1970s, but goddamn it still existed post-9/11. And I can't find any reason why it was discontinued, so I guess maybe some obscure ingredient that made the whole mix work was source from endangered animal babies in the rainforest or something like that. And don't even get me started on Pudding Pops. It's an indictment of modern society that those aren't available.

The reason why most prepared cake mixes tell you that you need to add an egg is because when they first came on the market people felt suspicious of them because it didn't feel like actually baking something unless they had to add more than just water.

My girlfriend just finished a full series X-Files re-watch, and for the first time I saw the "reboot" season from a couple years ago, and there's a joke about Scully's family only ever having an "in-universe" knock-off called "Goop-O A-B-C" but it made me remember Jell-O 1-2-3 and wonder why, of all the random old products that get brought back from time to time...it's never been that?

I remember going to the store trying to find "Jello Jigglers" and never seeing anything but regular Jello. I didn't realize much later that it wasn't a separate product and just a firmer set Jello that you make by using less water. I can't stand goopy Jello so I had just always made it like that. The Jiggler was always with me as it turns out.

I remember buy a 15 metre curly cord in my mid 20s. And for the first time in my life wasn't stuck standing there 1 metre from the handset for an entire conversation. How many people in this thread know what this is:

I see a lot of them for sale on the local version of Craigslist in Melbourne. Had to explain to a younger coworker what one was. Felt so drat old. "Yes, there was a special table/chair for being on the phone. You were stuck to the one spot for the entire call. And before you could easily replace the handset cord, that meant a hard limit on how far you could go, so you just sat your rear end down next to the phone."
