31 Things People Are Nostalgic for That No One Else Seems to Remember

Contrary to our parents’ promises that those As Seen on TV products were, well, just that, a few lucky Millennials and Zoomers managed to get their hands on a few of those (not so) low, low priced toys. But as Floam, Bendaroos and Rainbow Art kits may serve as the primary objects of our nostalgic envy, to one Redditor, a lesser-known art supply stood above the rest: BLO Pens. 

“They were really fun — until you got so much spit into them that they started to mold,” they recalled of their favorite toy from the aughts. 

This semi-biohazardous art tool is far from the only near-mythical relic from the ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s that kids who grew up back then swear actually existed. Below are other obscure things people are nostalgic for, the wildest of which include TV’s favorite Face, worm-filled candies and Disney’s take on The X-Files.

Andromeda321 10y ago Square One. It was a math TV show on PBS for kids. They ended each episode with Mathnet, which was like Dragnet but detectives who used math.

It was just very strange to go from Pittsburgh to college in Cleveland 2 hours away, for example, and no one had heard of it! But then, I now live in Europe where people are surprised to hear Carmen Sandiego isn't just a computer game, so... 859 ...
30_rack_of_pabst . 10y ago e Edited 10y ago E.L. Fudge double stuffed chocolate on chocolate cookies. They were like oreos shaped like keebler elves with chocolate frosting. Edit: a lot of you say they still exist. I called the company a few months back and they told me that the chocolate on chocolate, double stuffed as well as the chocolate on chocolate single stuffed have been discontinued. If you have a box of them, do not eat them. But take a picture for me. I will call them tomorrow to double check.

elfstone08 10y ago Edited 10y ago There were these little candies that looked like whistles. You were supposed to lick them, stick them together, and blow into them to make a whistle sound.

Someone else mentioned the lick em, stick em commercial. Those are the candies I'm referencing. 261 ...
