All these girl-bands, boy-bands and boy/girl-bands of the 90s are reuniting and doing tours again such as Steps, S Club 7, Aqua, Vengaboys etc. But the one band that I want to see reformed again is B*Witched.

This music video of theirs is 90s as gently caress. And they also do an Irish jig because they're Irish.

Also extra Billie Piper when she was a teen pop sensation.

ABC Kids (ABC as in Australian Broadcasting Corporation) had it's epitome in the 90s and nothing would ever beat The Ferals.

And all the other ABC Kids TV shows as well.

Lift-Off. Another 90s ABC Kids show with a faceless doll, creepy puppets and talking backpacks. Made the 3 y.o. self believe that backpacks can talk when there are no humans around.

I swear there was a boy-marketed version of these face-smashing things, but I can't for the life of me recall the name. Mine was red and had a gnarly dragon as the base, and essentially functioned as an All You Can Bludgeon pass to the ER.

Ah SkyDancers. It's all fun and games until one of them hits you in the nose.

Also, I think the male version of SkyDancers were called DragonFlies. I swear I remember seeing an ad for them on TV.

Also I had two Star Castles, one that was small and pink and had jewels and was Sleeping Beauty themed and the other one was large and fairytale-wedding/Swan Lake themed and was suppose to be a wedding cake.

I seemed to end up with a pack of Yikes pencils every year and always disliked that they used to snap so drat easy. They wrote very smoothly thoughly.

Couple of Childrens game shows, UK ones though I think the US had their own versions:

Fun House
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDLkbjfgSeU
I think it was one of the better childrens game shows for prizes, and the rounds always looked a lot of fun involving bungess, gunge, collecting and throwing messy things around on inflatables (though the go kart were so drat slow) And I didn't know anyone who didn't want to go in the Fun House at the end for all the prizes. Better than Christmas!

Just look at that Mullet! Good ol Pat Sharp (UK host)

Run the Risk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbds_MkTY8&feature=relmfu
Another messy game show, lots of weird rounds, lots of gunge, running around and banter from the hosts (note Shane Richie from Eastenders fame). Always had a different and quirky final round making the teams dress up and complete an obstacle course or something. Used to be shown as part of Going Live!/Live & Kicking when Saturday mornings were filled with one long show. 3-4 hours of kickass childrens TV.

Finders Keepers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=137iNha13Bs
Nothing like a game show where you just trashed the place looking for clues and prizes, I always wondered if anyone if the crowd got wacked with flying debris and felt sorry for whoever had to clean up the place.

The Australian equivalent of these kids games shows would be A*Mazing. It was a routine for me to watch it every afternoon at 4 when I got home from school. So many Nintendo references.

Collectable things in chip packets were a huge craze growing up. Oddbodz, Glo-caps, Goosebumps and so on depending on what was the rage.

Tazo's became popular due to their lenticular surfaces or the techno ones that had notches to build things out of.

TAZO's had a promotion with the Star Wars re releases where you got little ship kits that you built that were only found in larger packets of chips.

I have this assembled somewhere - must have packed it up.

But I did find this Tazo promotion in my old box of cards.

Yeah nothing more 90's than the insanity of Batman and Robin.

Of course this all went nuts when Phantom Menace cards came out that had a chance to win a free pack of chips.
The cards turned out to be thin enough that you could see if they were a winner when held up to the light so a black market was established where people were buying cards at insane markups...just to get free chips.

I remember those Batman promotional Tazos but I thought it was for Batman Forever not Batman and Robin :psyduck:

And I did win at least one free packet of chips from the Star Wars promotion.

I seem to remember back in the '90s (or very early 2000) when the Rugrats or other Nickelodeon cartoons had a deal where if you went out and got this pair of cheapo 3D glasses from the packaging of some food item (I'm thinking Doritos or some sort of snack food), you could watch Rugrats/other Nick cartoon episode in 3D. I seem to remember it being a HUGE deal, too. Anyone else remember this?

There was something similar to this in Australia. My family had pay TV (aka cable) with Nickelodeon and I would receive newsletters from them. I got 3-D glasses once for an event where certain shows had scenes of 3D for about a month. The also had Smellivision where you had to scratch a certain panel for a certain scene on TV from a booklet that you received from the mail.

These books were so lame. The plot of every single one was exactly the same- the main character finds an animal in distress, saves it (with a little help from her vet dad). The animal never dies, with the exception of the spin off series with ghost animals where they are already dead

I mostly remember hearing that line in this song from S Club 7

except I miss-heard it as "wave your hands in the air like a disco bear".

I still prefer my version.

S Club recently played in my hometown on their Australian tour. Only 3 of the original members were playing. And they edited the footage of them to the only 3 members performing even though they recently re-united for a million dollar contract. And Big Brovas were supporting them.

And a lot of re-united 90s bands are currently touring Australia as some kind of nostalgia trend or extra money for their superannuation.

I'm trying to remember a game we had in the computer lab of my elementary school. It would have been 1998 or 1999, because I think I was in 5th or 6th grade. The game had something to do with inventing stuff to...I dunno. For science, let's say. One part was building a Rube-Goldberg-esque mousetrap with levers and gears and conveyor belts and poo poo. Another mini game was building a custom plane out of different segments, and then flying it over a few different landscapes to test it out. One was like, a lava world or something. Also, the host of the game was a stereotypical late 90s CG nerdy-scientist type with big ears, I think.

Is one of them Super Solvers Gizmos & Gadgets?
