Pass the Panda Pops and put on the Spice Girls as we take a time-tour to 20 years ago …

• Beaded curtains. Practical? Not at all. But colorful and total proof of how cool you were.
• Spinning desk chair. Meant for you to be comfortable while doing homework but … wheeeee!
• Collectibles. Whether it was ‘Pogs’ or ‘Pokemon’ cards, your room was laden with them.
• ‘Furby’. A toy that talked back! Hours of fun and less irritating than modern-day ‘Siri’.
• A TV/VHS combo. Whoa, state-of-the-art technology!
• ‘Beanie Babies’, all with their labels intact ’cause you knew they’d be worth millions someday.
• ‘PlayStation’. OMG how realistic were those “Tomb Raider” and “Crash Bandicoot” graphics!
• A see-through phone. That plugged into the wall.
• Beanbag seat. Sinking into it with a “Harry Potter” book or your Walkman was the best.
• Heartthrob posters. Backstreet Boys. *NSYNC. Which did you kiss goodnight?
• Glow-in-the-dark stars. Shining on your ceiling, the ultimate reason to get excited for bedtime.
• A lip-shaped cushion. The ultimate proclamation of how fashionable and out there you were.
