90s Nostalgia

[The Monster With .]

Really? I was super disappointed when I had one the first time...though I only had it when it returned a couple of years back. Not the OG.

Yeah I loved it. I was just a kid though, and I thought it was fun to eat an ice cream loaf slice with different Layers. I wasn't too picky at the time

100% agree with @The Monster With . I think that as a kid we were just used to the standard issue ice-cream scoops. When the Viennetta came out, it was a lot about the texture/ mouth feel. They didn't even have Magic Shell when I was a little kid. The Viennetta had that thin crispy layer of chocolate or whatever and combined with the piped soft-serve style ice-cream, it was a welcome treat.

We rarely ever had it in our house though as I'm sure it was outside of the grocery budget. But no one seemed to be able to resist the Viennetta at least once or twice when it hit the scene.

Then they screwed with the formula when they brought it back in 2021, because the one I had was suupper icy, almost like it had been kept out of the freezer for a long time then re-frozen, but the package didn't have any of the tell-tale signs of that trauma.

In other non-ice cream-based nostalgia...



Though I had to laugh at this entry in the Wikipedia page for the Bad Boys movie soundtrack. This song appeared in it, but the way this paragraph is worded, it sounds like they are trying to say that the above song by DAG was "industrial".

it was outside of the grocery budget.

...Right now it sits at 2.69€ or 1.50£ in europe. It is less expensive than a box of cereal.

One of the things I notice after reviewing all this 90s media is how often commercials and music videos use the fisheye effect. That shits on everything.

I haven't gone through all the pages yet to see if this has been posted here already, but all the Are You Afraid Of The Dark episodes are on YouTube. This show is one of the very few that when I watch certain episodes, I can remember the exact night I watched it debut and what I was doing. Had a lasting effect. Also, The Tale Of The Quicksilver scared tf out of me back then. Only other shows I can think of that conjure up similar memories of time and place are Sightings and The X Files.

The one with the clown and the cigar smoke fucked me up pretty good.

Not 90s, but I always wanted to buy one of these to throw in the MG.org Secret Santa

I can't tell you how many people I've seen unironically owning those.

Did they have tonneau covers on their trucks?

Watching back some classic Rocko episodes and man... this show has some real adult humor. Watching them again is like seeing them for the first time again because of all the inuendo. Absolutely brilliant.

MG as in Morris Garages? Are you big into British roadsters?

If they aren't Z87+ I don't care.

The screen trick they did was just polarization filtering, with the glasses using a polarizing filter to block out all the "nonsense" light waves which are oriented to a certain axis and letting through the waves from the other axis which reveals the image. Won't get into Bell's work, wave vectors, or circular (linear + quarter phase) polarization here, if interested look into the quantum venn diagram experiment. TL/DR their sunglasses, like many, many, many, many modern sunglasses are polarized.

With how I expect cartoons now, Rocko's Modern Life seems absolutely unhinged.

And like, Really Really Big Man with his nipples? I'm surprised my mom let me watch that show, because I don't think I'd want my hypothetical kids watching it. Maybe modern society has made me too soft

Just scene after scene of completely inappropriate stuff. Amazing.
