Default Growing up in Australia in the '90s (rather long list of nostalgia)

Many of these are Australian, however there's quite a few trends and shows which I imagine you'll recognise, and may make you laugh.

So who grew up in the '90s, and what strikes you as memorable?

Quote:
You watched the ABC more than any other station. Those days are long gone.

You made worms by squeezing your Vegemite or peanut butter crackers together.

The best parties always had fairy bread.

The Waugh twins. Go! Aussie! Go!

Super League almost ruining rugby league in Australia.

Getting the Easter Show guide from the paper and circling all the show bags you wanted.

You thought everyone in America carried a gun and you never wanted to go there because you were were scared you'd get shot.

Blinky Bill, Mr Squiggle and Gumby.

You always used to see that dried out, white dog poo on the footpath. You never see that anymore.

SuperTed, Widget The World Watcher and Samurai Pizza Cats.

Going to the Easter Show with a big group of friends from school once you were old enough to go without Mum and Dad.

Doing research for school projects by going to the library or looking up an encyclopaedia rather than using the internet.

Brian Henderson and Richard Morecroft reading the news.

Paul Keating was some guy that ran the country and John Howard became the only PM you really ever knew because you were too young to care before that.

Banana Man, Bangers and Mash and The Raggy Dolls.

Game Boy.

Waking up early everyday to watch Agro’s Cartoon Connection or Cheez TV.

Hey Hey It’s Saturday.

Everyone got the Coke bag at the Easter Show and it was only $10.

Buying those 6 packs of Coco Pops, Fruit Loops, Frosties, Rice Bubbles, Nutri-Grain and Corn Flakes so you could have a different one each day and then opening the packets really carefully and removing the cereal so you'd have a mini wardrobe afterwards. You also most probably just let your parents eat the Corn Flakes.

Trying to make the Rainbow Road shortcut on Mario Kart 64.

Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Lift Off (that show with the dirty, eyeless doll named EC).

Birthday parties at McDonald's.

A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month. No returns!

Playing GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64 and arguing over whether Oddjob was allowed to be used in multiplayer.

The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Super International Cricket on the SNES.

Arguing over which was better – Nintendo 64 or PlayStation.

Don’t push me, push a push pop!

Nobody made "not" jokes... NOT!!

Bathurst stopped being Holden vs. Ford and all those European cars came in until they came to their senses.

Who shot Mr Burns?

Watching Captain Planet and then driving your parents mad by always singing the song.

That's so funny, I forgot to laugh.

WWE was WWF and they actually had cool wrestlers like The Rock, Mankind and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Playing Gran Turismo and MGS on PlayStation.

Roller coasters at Wonderland, Sydney.

You decorated your room with glow-in-the-dark stickers.

SBS didn’t have any ads. Not that you ever watched it anyway, except maybe for softcore porn.

You played marbles and could name all the different types like blue moon, oily, candy, red wine, galaxy and red devil. You never played anyone for your god marble.

Feeling sad when your Tamagotchi died.

Singing "a ram sam sam, a ram sam sam, guli guli guli guli guli, ram sam sam, a rafi, a rafi, guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam".

Seeing a small rack of DVDs in the video store and wondering if anyone ever rented them.

Dolly the sheep.

Getting up early to watch the Rage Top 50.

Friends when they were all actually just friends. Why didn't Phoebe and Joey get together?

Sonic the Hedgehog.

Watching The Simpsons back when it was funny, every night on Channel 10.

Power Rangers becoming cooler than the Ninja Turtles, even though the Turtles will always be cooler.

Watching South Park for the first time and being really excited by all the swearing.

Watching Hercules and then being disappointed when Xena Warrior Princess replaced it. Nobody was cooler than Herc.

Blowing on the Nintendo cartridge before putting it in the console to make sure it worked properly.

Smell the cheese.

Vulcan, Tower, Flame... Australian Gladiators.

Playing Mortal Kombat and trying to do a fatality but just ending up punching accidentally.

Pokemon! Gotta catch ‘em all!

Watching Hey Dad! and then seeing little Arthur McArthur go on to star in that famous Sorbent ad.

Full Frontal, not Comedy Inc.

Wolfenstein, Doom and Duke Nukem.

Downloading music from Napster.

Chatting with your buddies on ICQ.

Going to see Titanic.

The winner is… Sydney.

Mighty Max and Polly Pocket. Max and Polly always got lost because they were so bloody small.

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

Waiting for Tony “Plugger” Lockett to break that record.

Australia didn’t always win the cricket.

The Socceroos couldn’t qualify for the World Cup.

John Eales captained the Wallabies and we won the World Cup.

Ray Martin hosted A Current Affair.

Zoopa Doopa ice blocks were only 20c and if you couldn’t afford it, you asked the canteen lady to cut it in half so you could split it with a friend.

Listening to boy bands like Human Nature and girl bands like Girlfriend.

Barbie, not Bratz.

The Spice Girls.

Happy Meals were only $2.95 and the toys were simple but actually good.

Person 1: Who farted!?
Person 2: Whoever smelt it, dealt it!
Person 1: Whoever made the rhyme, commited the crime!

Brad Fittler was the best in the world.

Thorpe won lots of gold medals and wasn’t so gay.

Opposite day.

We all loved Pat Rafter and almost cried when he lost to Goran Ivanisevic because our Pat deserved that title more than anyone. Definitely more than Hewitt ever did.

Playing tackle Bull Rush at lunchtime and having tackling banned. You had to resort to grab 1-2-3 or tip. Same goes for footy.

Giving a friend a backage in the canteen line. If it was your best friend, you gave them a frontage.

Pogs and Looney Tunes Tazos.

Nobody won Wimbledon unless their name was Pete Sampras.

You laughed at the fat kid on the Cottees cordial ad and changed the song to "My Dad picks his nose..."

You ate Smarties instead of M&M’s.

You tried Dr. Pepper and hated it.

Service stations didn’t need space for 4 digits on their petrol prices signs.

Girl germs! Boy germs!

Goosebumps.

You had to actually call your friends rather than send them an SMS.

Wearing a Chicago Bulls T-shirt or cap. Wearing the cap backwards.

Arguing over who got to be Warnie in backyard cricket. Six and out!

Paul Jennings’ Gizmo books.

Matchbox cars.

The feeling of wonder you got, the first time you were able to see the image in one of those Magic Eye 3D pictures.

The Secret World of Alex Mack.

Talk to the hand!

Johnson and Friends, Noddy and Humphrey B. Bear.

You wished you had enough Lego to build those amazing cities they displayed in the brochures.

Collecting Yowie toys. Aussie wildlife was way cooler than any stupid Kinder Surprise toy.

Playing truth or dare with your secret crush.

Mark Taylor equalling Don Bradman's record.

Slap bracelets.

Jurassic Park and those toy dinosaurs where you could pull a piece of the skin out to see its insides.

Roger Ramjet, he’s our man, hero of our nation.

We had paper money.

Telling those Dobbers where to stick it by singing, "Dibba dobba dibba dobba number nine, wearing nappies all the time" and, "Dibba dobba Cindy went to kindy, stepped on a bindy wa wa wa."

Good on ya Mum! Tip Top’s the one!

You could buy more than enough food from the school canteen for only $2.

Begging your parents to go to McDonald’s for dinner.

Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats and Hey Arnold!

Noni, Monica and that bald guy named George on Play School.

Going to World 4 Kids to look at all the toys.

Watching The Lion King and feeling Simba’s pain when Mufasa died. Disney just doesn’t make them like that anymore.

Soft serve cones were only 30c and they never tried to up-sell a Flake because they didn’t have it.

Wanting a Brain or Silver Bullet during the yo-yo craze.

Nesquik without the Nes.

Troll Dolls.

The Kids' Works at Pizza Hut with unlimited drink refills. You made an ice cream mountain covered in choc chips and marshmallows and could never finish it.

Thomas the Tank Engine and TUGS.

Ba-na-na-na-na! Ba-na-na-na-na! Make those bodies sing!

You had to get your photos developed.

Your family didn’t own a 4WD unless it was a real one like a Land Cruiser or Patrol. Range Rovers were tough and nobody thought BMW would make a 4WD, let alone Porsche.

Street Sharks and Biker Mice From Mars

Competing with your friends to see who could eat the most sour Warheads in one go.

The Channel 9 logo had dots next to it and the Channel 7 logo wasn’t a folded piece of paper.

No Hat, no play.

Dr. Dreadful Food Labs. Kids these days wouldn't be allowed that because its not healthy enough. We didn't give a shit about our health in the 90's.

High five! Up high, down low, too slow!

Watching Round the Twist and getting pissed off that the actors kept on changing. You still loved it though.

Cheating in Heads Down, Thumbs Up.

Watching that game show called Vidiot. Game shows didn't have to be educational back then, like That's Academic... that show sucks.

Collecting basketball cards, whether you followed basketball or not.

You always wished your parents had bought you a bigger Super Soaker for Christmas. Christmas is hot in Australia... the more water, the better.

Collecting hundreds of tickets from Timezone just so you could trade them for some crappy prize that you could have bought from Woolies for ten bucks.

Healthy Harold day was the best because you got to miss class to sit in a tiny caravan and listen to a talking giraffe.

Playing handball with Ace, King, Queen and Dunce and making up stupid rules as you went along.

Skipping ropes and Jump Rope for Heart Day.

Chewing the crappy gum in Bubble-O-Bill's nose and wishing they could just use Hubba Bubba instead.

A*mazing.

The Ferals. Rattus, Modigliana, Derryn and Mixy were cool until they started that five minute piece of crap, Feral TV.

Hypercolour T-shirts.

Who Dares! Who Dares! Who Dares Wins!

Having your very own Dollarmites account and getting really excited when you earned a tiny bit of interest.

Growing up in Australia in the 90’s was rad.

I can remember going on that smaller wooden rollercoaster go after go, shame Wonderland isn't there anymore .
I have warheads in my room, they are making a comeback!
Finally, I was the best at Heads Down, Thumbs Up, no onw could ever pick it was me!

Yes Lichtie thats right, now it hardly shows any. It likes to think it does but its only highlights, if you want ot see European football over here you have to pay for it. Fox Sports for English and ESPN for other leagues. The ESPN commentator suck horribly.

Get the fuck out!

Super International Cricket was brilliant, that's one of the few games that the gameplay makes the issue of bad graphics redundant. Thanks for the memories, the UK and Aussies share a lot of thoughts, it seems!

The America / Guns one was very true. Nice post!

Oddjob wasn't allowed.

We also played that you couldn't kill someone who didnt have a gun after they just respawned. I've been playing again recently at school and that rule can get fucked.

Half of the game was racing to get Oddjob! Disqualifying him would have taken half the fun out. It's amazing how many of those memories are universal, you'd think there would be big differences between different parts of Britain, never mind the whole world!

You are even sadder than I thought you were. Who gives a flying fuck? Any idea what life was like in Albania in the late 1970's?

You're a dick, Chinny.

Hehehe.

Chin dick.

Hehehehe.

That list is a bit Sydney-centric (from the Herald?) to be fair, i've never been to an Easter show in my life. Also my family couldn't afford a lot of that crap. $10 on a showbag? Terrible waste of money. Although I'd still think it's a terrible waste of money...

The problem with the Golden Gun is, if you miss, you have to reload before shooting again, caused some problems from close range combat.

The only decent thing from Australia is Chopper.

So that is what you young 'uns were up to in the 90's.

I must admit that a lot of those things meant nothing to me.

You watched the ABC more than any other station. Those days are long gone. Only in the afternoons, between 3 and 6.

You made worms by squeezing your Vegemite or peanut butter crackers together. Vegemite all the way.

The best parties always had fairy bread. Lolly bags for me.

The Waugh twins. Go! Aussie! Go!

Super League almost ruining rugby league in Australia. It's a shame it didn't kill it.

Getting the Easter Show guide from the paper and circling all the show bags you wanted. I used to study the paper weeks in advance.

You thought everyone in America carried a gun and you never wanted to go there because you were were scared you'd get shot.

Blinky Bill, Mr Squiggle and Gumby. Captain Planet, Ferals.

You always used to see that dried out, white dog poo on the footpath. You never see that anymore. People pick up after themselves now. Except me.

SuperTed, Widget The World Watcher and Samurai Pizza Cats. SuperTed was that 5 min cartoon yeah?

Going to the Easter Show with a big group of friends from school once you were old enough to go without Mum and Dad. I went every year untill I was 13 then got over it.

Doing research for school projects by going to the library or looking up an encyclopaedia rather than using the internet. Photocopier copped a belting.

Brian Henderson and Richard Morecroft reading the news.?

Paul Keating was some guy that ran the country and John Howard became the only PM you really ever knew because you were too young to care before that.
Paul Keating done a woeful job if I remember.

Banana Man, Bangers and Mash and The Raggy Dolls. Bangers and Mash yeah, Raggy dolls. Raggy dolls, dolls like you and me....they used to live in a bin.

Game Boy. never had one.

Waking up early everyday to watch Agro’s Cartoon Connection or Cheez TV.Loved it. I remember waking really early and going to watch it get taped. Jamie Dunn is a fat fucking cunt but.

Hey Hey It’s Saturday.I hate Daryll Summers.

Everyone got the Coke bag at the Easter Show and it was only $10.Only Lolly bags for me mate.

Buying those 6 packs of Coco Pops, Fruit Loops, Frosties, Rice Bubbles, Nutri-Grain and Corn Flakes so you could have a different one each day and then opening the packets really carefully and removing the cereal so you'd have a mini wardrobe afterwards. You also most probably just let your parents eat the Corn Flakes. My mum still buys them for me.

Trying to make the Rainbow Road shortcut on Mario Kart 64.Mario Kart and Golden Eye were the only games I played for a few years.

Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Lift Off (that show with the dirty, eyeless doll named EC). And his black and white cat.

Birthday parties at McDonald's. Thats going waaaayyy back.

A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month. No returns! White rabbit etc...

Playing GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64 and arguing over whether Oddjob was allowed to be used in multiplayer. He was banned.

The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Raphaell was were it was at.

Super International Cricket on the SNES.

Arguing over which was better – Nintendo 64 or PlayStation. Had both.

Don’t push me, push a push pop! Suck them untill they were needlypoint sharp.

Nobody made "not" jokes... NOT!!

Bathurst stopped being Holden vs. Ford and all those European cars came in until they came to their senses.

Who shot Mr Burns??Yeah my friend rang his cousin in India tofind out who did it.

Watching Captain Planet and then driving your parents mad by always singing the song. Could have put all the TV shows together.

That's so funny, I forgot to laugh.

WWE was WWF and they actually had cool wrestlers like The Rock, Mankind and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Its still cool to me.

Playing Gran Turismo and MGS on PlayStation.I hate racing games.

Roller coasters at Wonderland, Sydney. Went to Sydney twice to own them in Rugby.

You decorated your room with glow-in-the-dark stickers. Yes, Scorpia star sign and the Southern cross.

SBS didn’t have any ads. Not that you ever watched it anyway, except maybe for softcore porn. Wacked it to my first softcore sex scene. Changed my life for ever.

You played marbles and could name all the different types like blue moon, oily, candy, red wine, galaxy and red devil. You never played anyone for your god marble. Yep.

Feeling sad when your Tamagotchi died. Gay.

Getting up early to watch the Rage Top 50. Taping it and watching it again.

Watching The Simpsons back when it was funny, every night on Channel 10. Every night at 6 and sometimes even between 7 and 8:30

Power Rangers becoming cooler than the Ninja Turtles, even though the Turtles will always be cooler. Power Rangers were shit after the movie.

Watching South Park for the first time and being really excited by all the swearing. Loved it more than the Simpsons.


Blowing on the Nintendo cartridge before putting it in the console to make sure it worked properly.
That worked God damn it.

Smell the cheese. Then pow right in the Kisser

Vulcan, Tower, Flame... Australian Gladiators. And the Ashes were good also.

Playing Mortal Kombat and trying to do a fatality but just ending up punching accidentally. Raiden + Me = unbeatable

Pokemon! Gotta catch ‘em all!Im not asian. I collected footy cards.

Watching Hey Dad! and then seeing little Arthur McArthur go on to star in that famous Sorbent ad.I hated that fat shit.

Full Frontal, not Comedy Inc. Eric Bana in his prime.

Wolfenstein, Doom and Duke Nukem. Loved them all.

Downloading music from Napster. Loved it.

Chatting with your buddies on ICQ. Yeah loved that too.

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Ive jsut started to watch the X files again.

Waiting for Tony “Plugger” Lockett to break that record. Pfft AFL.


The Socceroos couldn’t qualify for the World Cup. Fucking Iran.

John Eales captained the Wallabies and we won the World Cup. Greatest rugby team of all time. Tim Horan is still the greatest player

Zoopa Doopa ice blocks were only 20c and if you couldn’t afford it, you asked the canteen lady to cut it in half so you could split it with a friend.Fairy Floss.


Brad Fittler was the best in the world.
Never always overrated.

Playing tackle Bull Rush at lunchtime and having tackling banned. You had to resort to grab 1-2-3 or tip. Same goes for footy. I ruled both tackle bull rush and footy.

Pogs and Looney Tunes Tazos. Got them on the bottom of cups in the food courts.

You laughed at the fat kid on the Cottees cordial ad and changed the song to "My Dad picks his nose..." Picks his bum...

You ate Smarties instead of M&M’s. Peanuts were yuck.

You tried Dr. Pepper and hated it. Yes twas yuck aswell.

Service stations didn’t need space for 4 digits on their petrol prices signs. 60 cents a litre

Girl germs! Boy germs!

Goosebumps.
Read every one.

Matchbox cars. Still have my collection.

You wished you had enough Lego to build those amazing cities they displayed in the brochures. Still have my lego collection aswell.

Rocko’s Modern Life, Rugrats and Hey Arnold!Rugrats on the ABC

Going to World 4 Kids to look at all the toys. Loved it.

Watching The Lion King and feeling Simba’s pain when Mufasa died. Disney just doesn’t make them like that anymore.Watched back to back every other weekend.

Soft serve cones were only 30c and they never tried to up-sell a Flake because they didn’t have it. mmm

Wanting a Brain or Silver Bullet during the yo-yo craze. Glow in the dark ones were the best.

Your family didn’t own a 4WD unless it was a real one like a Land Cruiser or Patrol. Range Rovers were tough and nobody thought BMW would make a 4WD, let alone Porsche. Land Cruiser.

Watching Round the Twist and getting pissed off that the actors kept on changing. You still loved it though. I loved that light house.

Cheating in Heads Down, Thumbs Up. Yes I used to look at their shoes.



Collecting basketball cards, whether you followed basketball or not. Still got em.

You always wished your parents had bought you a bigger Super Soaker for Christmas. Christmas is hot in Australia... the more water, the better.

Playing handball with Ace, King, Queen and Dunce and making up stupid rules as you went along. We kept the same 4 all lunchtime.

Growing up in Australia in the 90’s was rad. It was actually. I wouldnt' change a single thing about growing up in the 90's. Kids these days are fucking morons.

Sorry Queenslander, but Fittler was the best player going around. Certainly not overrated. Just not from Queensland, either

We had some stupid, stupid rules in handball.

Freddie was at his best in the early part of this decade. In the 90's it was Ricky Stuart, Allan Langer, Terry Lamb etc... This could go on for a while.

Yeah, Fittler was up there with the best of them. Fittler + Johns in the halves for NSW. Those were the days.

When Origin was unwatchable. But now you guys don't have anyone who would be able shine Freddie's boots. Plenty of outside backs but no superstars where it counts. 6 and 7. Though if they convert Farrah to a pivot we might be in some trouble. Who would you choose at 6 and 7 for next years Origin. Anasta and ????

Even Anasta is questionable. I'd look at Monohagn (I can't spell that name at all) who seems to do the job for Manly, but is always overlooked at state level.

Couldn't sleep, and an early start at uni. I may try to get some shut-eye soon.

It's a pity he's going to England. We're really light on halves

I find that highly unlikely.
