Throwback: 15 things you know if you remember 1999 like yesterday

Ladies, there's no easy way to say this, but Family Guy turned 18-years-old yesterday.

We know, it hit us really hard too. 

The anniversary, unsurprisingly, had us all reminiscing about the year that brought us Peter Griffin and the gang, and general consensus suggests that 1999 was definitely one to remember.

From the songs that hit the top of the charts, the films that scared the bejaysus out of us and the outfits which made their debut on the red carpet, 1999 has a lot to answer for.

We mean, remember when…

1. Hayley Joel Osment could see dead people?

"My mam says I can only watch it if my older brother watches it with me."

"I heard one cinema had to be evacuated cos people were throwing up in the aisles."
