Playing outside with your friends

Every decade swears they had the best cereal. We all know the truth about who really had the best (the 80s)
10.
Brand new sharpened colored pencils
11.
Waking up early Saturday morning to watch cartoons, stay in your underroos, and play with your friends. Slipping away from the stress of the school week and drowning your worries in bowls of sugary cereal made everything alright.
12.
Taco Bell looked cool and friendly.
13.
14.
The smell of film
15.
Brand new craft projects and art supplies
16.
When ordering at fast food was simple, the menu was targeted and didn't try to cross over. You got burgers at burger joints and tacos at Taco places
17.

19.
Records for kids in the '60s, tapes for the 80s and 90s kids, we all had that THING that made our Friday nights awesome
20.
21.
Riding bikes all day and not seeing your parents for hours at a time.
22.
When you saw this appear, you knew your parents were packing for vacation (we all had one)
23.
Kids could have candy cigarettes, gum that looked like cigars, because we knew it didn't make us smoke. Now kids vape. Because that's much better than our sugary fakes.
24.
McDonalds had real playgrounds outside And sometimes you got a little disappointed because it was raining and closed. But you lived and you appreciated the days it was opened
25.
Cartoons were only on after school and on Saturday mornings. Otherwise you got off your ass and played outside or played pretend inside using an imagination (and sometimes a lot of sheet forts)
26.
Reading meant real books, turning pages, and BOOK FAIRS
27.
This was a special treat.
28.
Putting these in the microwave at the end of a long day of school was the equivalent of kicking back a cold one. So satisfying and wonderufl
