        The 90s were from 1995 to 2005. That’s just my opinion. I know it sounds dumb. Many things from 1990 to 1994 feel like the 80’s.

      Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.

      I remember this from the school library computers. That and even back then the school had some kind of broadband, it blew my mind that to get online all we had to do was open IE. I was used to that part but always had whatever dial up service we had at the time to open up and connect first. Just clicking IE and going was crazy to me.

      I still laugh thinking back to 8th grade when my buddy, Tyler, got his first pair of JNCOs. To paint a picture, Tyler couldn’t have been more than 90 pounds soaking wet and had a bowl cut (being it the 90s). He had a big goofy grin on his face and goes “check it out - I can fit a whole 2 liter of Mountain Dew in my pocket!” And sure enough, he pulled a full 2 liter of Mountain Dew out of his front pocket.
