    20 Things We Miss From Our Childhood

    Most of you reading this right now are probably sitting at work wondering how the hell did I end up here. What happened to the good old life where we had no responsibilities and no worries whatsoever? Oh yea, we “grew up”.

    All we have left of our childhood days are those free 10 minutes of our daily lives to remember how good we used to have it as kids.

    Let’s take you on a trip down memory lane.

     

    Amigo Sneakers

    If you didn’t have a pair of these when you were young, then you missed out big time! Those were the days when all it took was a pair of glowing shoes to put a smile on your face.

    amigo

     

    Slinky

    Useless, absolutely useless, yet we couldn’t get enough! Up until this day I’m trying to figure out why anyone would spend a penny for this stupid (amazing, time wasting) toy.

    But we have to admit, this sure did make our childhood days a whole lot better.

    Gak

    The laughter and happiness we got from this gelatinous gunk of goo is unexplainable, yet the fear was a lot worse… As soon as the sticky stuff went splat against the wall, we prayed our parents wouldn’t catch us.

    This interior wrecker sure got us in a lot of trouble! But we all know it was definitely worth it.

    Gum Tattoo

    Who said you couldn’t get a tattoo at the age of  four?

    bubblegum

     

    Roller Blades

    Having a pair of roller blades at the club was like owning a Harley!

    Boogy w Tamtam

    Forget about Barney! Boogy w Tamtam was the ultimate TV show. Those two love birds had us up all night.

    boogiwtamtam

     

    Bakar

    You knew it was time to eat after a long day of fasting when you heard Bakar’s soundtrack.

    Trolls

    When accessorizing your shoes was actually an option.

    Multi-Color Pens

    Why buy the whole stationary when every color you needed was just a finger tip away?

    50-Signs-That-You-Grew-Up-In-The-90s-multi-color-pens

     

    Book Protector aka Galad

    Like it actually mattered!

    bookcover

     

    Ninja Turtles

    Before Smallville and Toby Maquire’s Spiderman, Ninja Turtles saved the day.

    And they always will.

     

    Pokemon

    When your pride was as important as winning that last Pokemon card.

     

    Power Rangers

    Back when the yellow ranger was Asian and the black ranger was Black and the pink ranger and the green ranger had a “thing”.

     

    Captain Maged

    The reason football is so popular in Egypt.

    captainmaged

    Sindbad Amusement Park

    When “amusement” was being trapped on the roller coaster because of electricity problems.

    sindbad

     

    Baby Born

    We were practicing our mama skills before we even knew where babies come from!

    babyborn

     

    Tattoo Choker

    Because looking like a hooker was actually a trend.

    blacchoker

     

    Furby

    Before we thought they were creepy, these were the cutest weird little toys to have.

    G-Shock

    When every guy’s pick up line used to be “Ta3ali awareeki sa3ti el betnawar fel Dalma!”

    gshock

     

    Backpack with Wheels

    Because yea, three books were too heavy to carry.

    Nour El Sayed has always been fascinated by photography and art. She spends most of her time trying to combine both and ending up with a triumph. After receiving her AS in Graphic Design, she decided to integrate all three and hoping that one day her work could be widely exhibited. If there's one thing she learnt in life it's that “In a time of destruction, create something.” She also finds it amusing to write her bio in the third person and happily indulges herself.
