skip it: image source
pros: with this thing i had hours of fun. for those of you who don't know what you had to do with this you basically attached it to one foot and you would rotate you leg in small circles to make the bar spin then you would have to jump over it. it was fun and tricked you in to exercising, so real it was good all round. you could even have competitions with your friends to see who could keep going the longest, that is if you could actual pry your friend away from there tamagaotchi. i was lucky enough to get a light up skip it when i was a kid. which basically ment now i could keep my family up all night by jumping loudly on the landing.
cons: this was essentially pole with a heavy plastic ball attached so if you where an uncoordinated child like me you will share my pain of having your ankles shattered every time you missed. i used to be a adventure like you until i took a skip it to the ankle. no but seriously i have both mental and physical scars from that thing. it was still bloody brilliant though and this was the 90's so safety did not matter as much.

pros; the furbys have resnly made a come back so these don't need a lot of explaining (yay less typing for me). they where the it thing when i was little mainly because the where programmed to use more words as time went one with made all the children think they were actually teaching it to talk.
cons: these things where just pure evil when they ran out of battery i still remember mine being on the shelf and its deep static voices slowly saying h-h-heloooooooooo. ;'( #childhood nightmares. also there advert was so annoying that little girl with the high pitch voice just shouting "hey furby!"and i not the only one who thought they were evil they were actually band from the white house because it seemed like they listened and learned words this worried the government as they thought conversations in the white house maybe record. who new furby was a double agent!!! the names fruby, hey fruby.
this thing : image source
pros; i have no idea what this is called or what it was actually for but i enjoyed its existence. i used to call it a wogal but i have no clue what its actual called if you know people for the love of god tell me because its really bugging me.
cons: none really its just a thing...moons shoes: image source
pros; HERE THEY ARE THE BEST TOY IN THE WORLD MOONS SHOES!!!!!! YOUR OWN PERSONAL TRAMPOLINES. because normal trampolines are to main stream. i was actually denied these because we owned a trampoline. (i know i was so hard done by). but every time i went to my cousins house i would just run past her and strait up to these babies!!
cons: none there god damn MOON SHOES!!!!!
There are so many more great 90's toys like, Betty spaghetti, Polly pocket, those robot dogs, barbies that actually looked vaguely like humans, tamogochis, pixel chicks, bang on the door inline skates,those children's tape recording things with face on ( i hoping you know what i mean there) , the wired water hoop game, the PlayStation 1 and ect. may be i do a second part to this one day but right now ,because i am feeling nostalgic, i just want to kick back and watch cow and chicken.
see ya next time :).
