When I grew up...

This morning while I was peeing in the shower (don't even try to say shit, I know you piss in the shower too),  I started to reflect on the cools things when I grew up.  I know I'm only 31 but, whatever happened to:

- Nintendo, Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble and Double Dragon
- Tether Ball
- Pogs
- Garbage Pail Kids
- Thunder Cats, Count Duckula, Voltron, He-Man, The Wuzzles, Gummi Bears, Fraggle Rock
- Mr. T and Steve Gutenberg
- Spam
- The Arch Deluxe
- Squeeze It fruit drinks
- Jacks
- Condoms (yeah, condoms.  apparently, some mother fuckers don't like to use them these days.)
- Candyland
- Heads up, 7-up
- Simon
- Teddy Ruckspin
- Etch-a-sketch
- Ghost Busters, Alpha Bits, Count Chocula cereals
- WWF Superstars of Wrestling Ice Cream Bars
- Push-up pops
- The Breakfast Club, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Weird Science
- MacGyver
- Crimped Hair
- Sweaters around the waist
- Ocean Pacific
- Spandex, Parachute Pants
- Neon and Paper Bag Book Covers
- L.A. Gear
- Jordache, Esprit
- Miami Vice
- Bill Cosby
- Rocky III
- Tonka Trucks
- Rubber bracelets

What happened guys?  What the fuck happened?

Hey some of this stuff is still around! I just saw a simon at work, candyland, and etch-a-sketch for sure, and my kids love tetherball!! Condoms...well since i have so many kids, haven't really seen those in a while either. I could've sworn I saw an A-team van the other day too.
