“Unlock the Nostalgia: 10 Unforgettable 90s UK Childhood Memories That Will Take You Back in Time!”
There was nothing quite like hitting a new high score and challenging your sibling or best friend to beat it. If they didn’t manage to, you would gain bragging right for a little while. But if they did, you’d probably throw a massive strop.
Troll Dolls Were Everywhere
Troll Dolls were versatile little toys that had crazy hair that stuck up. You could rest these little guys on your TV, on your mum’s car dashboard (much to her dismay!), or on your bedside table to give you a giggle.
In the ’90s, Troll Dolls were everywhere, and for some strange reason were a really popular kids toy. They had a video game and a TV show based on them in the ’90s which contributed to their success during the decade, and to this day they still remain a fad toy with the release of Trolls in 2016.
Super Mario Gained Icon Status
In reality, the heading is a little misleading as SuperMario has continued to have a moment and is possibly the best video game of all time. Whilst Super Mario was born in the 80s, it didn’t hit the big time in the UK until the 90s, when everyone went Super Mario mad.
Remember the mushrooms that give you power and the flowers that give you fire? Oh, and don’t forget the magic tunnels too. If you know, you know.
Crimping Random Bits Of Hair Had A Moment
This was an interesting trend, and one that was featured at every school disco alongside spray-on hair paint. Instead of crimping all of your hair as was popular in the ’80s, the trick was to crimp random single strands that stood out. Pioneered by the likes of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, every kid who grew up in the UK in the ’90s will have tried this look.
