Let's go back to the '90s, babes.

@GamewithDave asked, "People who actually experienced the 1990s: What is something you miss from that decade that just isn't the same today?"

Here are the best responses:

1. "Waking up with sleep paralysis and being forced to watch Billy Mays try to sell me something for 30 mins that I would never buy."

2. Plums.

3. "Leaving the house and being unreachable."

4. "Seeing a photo or video of something and not having to waste a single iota of brainpower wondering if it was real or not."

5. Thrifting.

6. "Chicago Bulls basketball."

7. "You could have a part time job as a teenager and afford to do anything you wanted to."

8. "Doing crazy shit without the risk of going viral."

9. Fruit, in general.

10. "Hidden tracks at the end of CDs."

11. Surge.

12. "Concerts and paper tickets as souvenirs."

19. The mall.

20. "Playing new video games you couldn't afford at displays in department stores (I remember you SEGA CD behind the glass."

21. Reese's peanut butter cups (the recipe changed.)

Though, to be fair, they JUST announced they're going back to the old formula!

22. "Entertainment taking effort or patience to get. Having to go and buy a CD or wait for the next episode of a show. Rewinding a video It somehow made it matter."
