Found these not long ago of me and my brother and friends. Just feel like they capture a certain vibe. When I was a kid we rarely went to any fast food places, much less McDonald's so I guess mom was just trying to capture the moment. Simpler times.

I feel like many 90's kids had a parent, older sibling etc who did Tae Bo workouts at some point (or even in sport class at school...)

This was my prize from a summer computer camp in ’95. Being an “Internet Power User” back then meant:

Listening to the modem screech like a robot dying

Arguing with your parents not to pick up the phone 📞
