5 - Gak\r
This popular form of slime courtesy of those fine chaps at Nickelodeon had kids giggling with delight over one of the oldest jokes in human history, fart noises. Created by the toy company Mattel, these strange moulding compounds had to be properly stored in their molding case in order to avoid drying out. Stretch it, mold it, snap it, bounce it, love it, squeeze for stress relief or but the gak in the dark model to make yourself a super nifty retro glow in the dark goo flavored nightlight. There are a bunch of homemade recipes online which you can easily find, so feel free to do it yourself and enjoy countless hours of fart noises and stretchy gakky features. Theres also solar Gak, Smell my Gak, Gaks alive, \r

4 - Skip It\r
Heres one which many of us have our wrinkled fingers crossed will make a comeback. Allow me to reintroduce the Skip It! This toy attaches to your foot with a circular hoop, a little plastic twine connects this to the ball at the end, which would record the number of spins as your legs hopped to kick it around and around your legs until you got exhausted or bashed the ball clean off, which happened more often than not, my neighbor busted mine and never replaced it, makes me all sad and nostalgic just remembering kicking the plastic shell in circles for hours. This little plastic toy was great exercise but again, attention spans were fast paced in the 1990s and the skip it was soon replaced by other things, but some of us remember the good times, spent chasing our skip its around in pleasant circular patterns. \r

3 - Pogs\r
These fad toys were ultra super popular for a few months in the 90s and then as fast as they came vanished without a trace, except for a few stubborn collectors who still have a crate of these milk cap inspired creations in their basement, because many of us refuse to let the 90s die! Originally conceived from a game played with milk caps, these pieces of thick cardboard shaped like circles would have decorative designs on one side and a brand name or white space on the other. A pog board could be purchased for cheap as well as a slammer, which is a much thicker version of a pog and youre ready to do battle! Kids would decide in the beginning to play for keeps or just for fun, or not for keeps, but most of us would peer pressure until the stakes were raised to keeps. U each place your pogs on the board face down, then bounce the slammer against the board, every pog which turns up face up with the design showing would be awarded to that player and so on until all the pogs were accredited for, the person with the most at the end wins. This is another crazy 90s fad which has many of us hoping will make a comeback so we can break out those circles of power and slammers of doom! \r

2 - Tamagotchi\r
Who can forget the first totally digital keychain pets! From those cats in Japan and the world of Bandi, these little computer babies became a huge fad, over 76 million were sold worldwide and then just as fast the tiny computerised creatures vanished from the face of the Earth. This probably had something to do with the f that if you left one alone in your locker during class or forgot about the little bugger in your pocket for an hour or so the little digital critter would die. This virtual pet required feeding, happiness and discipline, there were mini games to play and new candies to be earned, if you really tried and spent every waking hour taking care of the pixelated pet, they would grow from tiny babies to healthy bizarre extremely whiny needy creatures. They go from baby to child to teen to adult, however, most of us never had the attention span to make it passed teen and we would often return to find our beloved digital whatever creature these things are neglected and dead from starvation or living in its own filth. Maybe we should have just stuck to pet rocks. \r

1 - Super Soakers\r
If you didnt have a super soaker back in the 1990s, then you were doomed to get wet with no means of retaliation. These recreational water guns which utilised manual pressure to fire streams of water at your opponent usually through aof pumping motions were invented in the 80s but didnt go on sale till 1990. And we have hooked ever since, there are a million different versions of these high powered water guns, there were models which had backpacks full of water which strapped to your back, dual ion firing nozzles, high-pressure water pump ion and some even had laser pointing technology for more accurate and deadly sprays of ice cold water. Nerf still makes loads of money from these high class water guns, wh
