18 best childhood crazes ’90s kids went through
Every young Irish person lived through these crazes during the ’90s – from Pokemon to Bebo, we loved them all!
1. Pokemon
Pokemon was probably the biggest craze of the ’90s; from video games to collecting cards, you had to catch them all! Sorry…
2. Yu-Gi-Oh!
Slightly less popular (or cool) as Pokemon, nonetheless this craze had a massive following back in the ’90s and early ’00s.
3. Polly Pocket
Every girl had a Polly Pocket – and all the cool girls had LOADS of Polly Pockets. Looking back, those small parts cannot be good for kids to play with.
4. Tamagotchi
These were supposed to be like having a pet without actually having a pet. When they got abandoned after a week, we finally realised why we weren’t allowed to get a dog after all.
5. Light-Up runners
These made you run faster. Fact. Not good to wear during Hide n’ Seek.
6. Scooters/Skateboards/Rollerblades
These are all still pretty cool, but our tricks have gotten a little rusty.
7. Learning to draw this
And it was always way cooler of your name began with an ‘S’!
8. Paper fortune tellers
It didn’t matter how many of these were confiscated, you can always make more.
9.Polyphonic Ringtone
When you give out about teenagers blasting their annoying music over their phones, remember that you used to be one of them. Except you were ten times more annoying because it was ringtones you were blasting!
10. Crazy Frog
Historically the most annoying sound on the planet.
11. Snake
This amazing game is still so addictive and fun if you can find an old enough Nokia to play the original on!
12. Scoubidou bracelets
They look so intricate but once you get the hang of it you give one to everyone you know. Including you nan.
13. Charity Wristbands
Not just for a good cause, if you had these, you were the coolest kid around.
14. MSN
Aww, staying up till midnight chatting over messenger to ‘that boy’ – we really hope those convos have been deleted forever.
Bebo
Bebo stunnahhs 2k07 4eva oh yeah!

We all got a little bit crazy during some of these fads. The only hope can be that you didn’t lose too many friends over any of them, and that scare from the fight you had with your best friend over a Charizard Pokemon card isn’t that noticeable anymore.
