“Unlock the Nostalgia: 10 Unforgettable 90s UK Childhood Memories That Will Take You Back in Time!”
Free Milk In Schools
The dairy-free five-year-olds of today would probably shudder at the thought of drinking milk everyday like we did, but it was great at the time. Free milk in schools has been going on since the 1946 Free School Milk Act, but came under contention in the ’70s under Margaret Thatcher who stopped children over seven having access to free school milk.
For those kids who grew up in the ’90s and were still under seven, free school milk in little cartons was still very much a thing.
You Were Royalty If You Could Do The Rubik’s Cube
The Rubik’s cube was a serious game – a challenge of both intellect and control under pressure. Most kids said they could do it, but when it came to the crunch they bottled it.
If, however, you were one of the chosen ones who could fix up a Rubik’s Cube in front of a crowd, then you would be crowned the coolest kid in school. The Rubik’s cube was actually made popular in the ’80s, but in the UK it was the ’90s that saw the rise of the puzzle.
Gameboy Made Gaming Portable
In the ’90s the Gameboy made gaming a portable thing and as a child if you were lucky enough to own one, you were probably one of the coolest kids in school. Games like Super Mario, Tetris and Tennis were classics, and the when the GameBoy Colour came out it revolutionised the handheld gaming market.
