Take This 90s Quiz And We'll Tell You How Awesome Your Childhood Was!

Nostalgia has a way of making us feel like we are kids all over again. We are transported back to a time when we weren't worried about paying bills or making a place for ourselves in the world. Back then, all we cared about was the next show on Nickelodeon and whether or not our mom was going to surprise us with a Lunchable. It was a much simpler time, and those of us who spent our childhood in the 90s know that we had the best of everything. Cartoons on television were at their peak, snacks were being taken to the next level and video games were a far cry from the Atari of old.

The 1990s was a decade that ushered in an entirely new era of pop culture, and the world hasn't been the same since. Most of us remember being a kid in the 90s and getting the internet for the first time. Who would have guessed that all these years later, dial up would be a thing of the past? The 90s changed the game, and those of us lucky enough to have grown up during that decade will always have fond memories of yesteryear.

So, how awesome was your childhood? Well, this quiz is about to reveal everything!

Question 1

Did You Have A Super Nintendo?

Super Nintendo was the first gaming console that many of us owned, and it was instrumental in shaping the gaming industry. The console had a number of games that are still considered among the greatest ever released, and your childhood was exponentially better with one of these in the living room.

Question 2

Did You Have Nickelodeon Gak?

Nickelodeon Gak was all the rage when it was released, and for good reason. Many of us knew that we would never get on television and be slimed properly, so Gak was the next best thing. This snotty, moldable toy was a ton of fun, and it was a must-have on the playground.

Question 3

Did You Have A Tamagotchi?

There were other variations of this toy, including a Giga Pet, but most kids seemed to want a Tamagotchi. They were digital pets that you were supposed to feed and clean up after, but most of them didn’t survive long. I haven’t fed mine in about 18 years, making me question my fathering abilities all together.

Question 4

Did You Watch Power Rangers?

Remember when Tommy was a villain? That’s right, before he knocked Jason off his perch and then became the White Ranger, the Green Ranger was a bad guy. Power Rangers took the world by storm in the 90s, and the franchise continues to evolve and be a mainstay on television.

Question 5

Did You Watch Legends Of The Hidden Temple?

Admit it, you desperately wanted to be on this show. The 90s had a ton of game shows for kids to sink their teeth into, and Legends of the Hidden Temple was one of the most popular shows of the era. It pitted teams against one another, and most of us never got our shot at glory.

Question 6

Did You Have AOL?

Now, we aren’t asking if you had the internet in the 90s. We are specifically asking about AOL. There were a number of internet providers during the dial up era, but everyone knows that AOL was the way to go. A moment of silence for those who had to grow up with Earthlink.

Question 7

Did You Watch Boy Meets World?

This may have been the best show of the 1990s. Boy Meets World took the world by storm during the decade and watching the life of Cory Matthews unfold each week made for incredible television. His romance with Topanga gave us relationship goals, and Mr. Feeney taught us life lessons.

Question 8

Did You Watch All That?

Sketch comedy wasn’t just for adults, and in the 1990s, Nickelodeon unleashed a beast of a show in All That. The show saw kids taking the torch from SNL and running with it to great success. It was a launching point for a number of talented performers like Keenan Thompson and Amanda Bynes.

Question 9

Did You Wear Overalls?

What in the world were we thinking? Overalls were a staple of 90s fashion, and they could be rocked with just about any style. Thanks to 90s nostalgia becoming all the rage, we are starting to see people dust of their parent’s overalls and wear them with pride. Of all trends, why overalls?

Question 10

Did You Wear JNCO Jeans?

These things were so ugly, yet so popular. Towards the end of the 90s, there was a huge spike in the popularity of extreme sports, and this audience was the prime target for JNCO Jeans. They were baggy and featured what can only be described as interesting designs on the back of them.

Question 11

Did You Have A Sega Genesis?

Those kids who weren’t lucky enough to have a Super Nintendo spent the 90s working with a Sega Genesis. Sega had a solid number of great games for the console, and its flagship character Sonic became one of the most recognizable characters in gaming history. It’s a shame the company doesn’t make consoles anymore.

Question 12

Did You Have A Pair Of L.A. Gears?

L.A. Gears were legitimately the hottest shoes for a good while there, and for us kids, sporting some light ups meant that you were killing it on the playground. They may seem laughable now, but back in the day, these shoes were beyond cool, kind of like how Airwalks were cool once.

Question 13

Did You Have A JanSport Backpack?

Copping your first JanSport backpack in the 90s meant that you had finally arrived, and it was the perfect way to stunt on kids in 3rd grade. This backpack was all the rage back in the day, and no JanSport was complete without drawing a dope design on the front pocket.

Question 14

Did You Watch Kenan And Kel?

Who loves orange soda? Back before Drake and Josh, us 90s kids spent our time watching Kenan and Kel do their thing. The duo got their start on All That before getting their own series. They would also star in the movie Good Burger together. Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?

Question 15

Did You Watch Batman: The Animated Series?

This is the greatest cartoon that has ever been made, and it’s not even close. Batman: The Animated Series was a stroke of genius during the 90s, and it helped tell some of the best Batman stories ever penned. It was also the birthplace of the ever-popular character Harley Quinn.

Question 16

Did You Listen To Nirvana?

Nirvana is considered one of the best bands of all time, and the release of their 1991 album Nevermind forever altered the landscape of the music industry. They helped usher in an entirely new era of rock music, and the band remains as popular as ever to this very day.

Question 17

Did You Have A Game Boy Color?

Towards the end of the decade, Nintendo released the Game Boy Color and totally changed the game. Sure, there were other handheld consoles – like the gigantic Sega Game Gear - with color screens, but the Game Boy was always more popular, and this changed everything. Some of us even had the special edition Pokemon one.

Question 18

Did You Have A Starter Jacket?

These were the freshest jackets of the 90s, and it’s not up for debate. Starter hit the ball out of the park when they released these jackets, and they became a staple of the decade. They were the perfect way to support your team and rock the hottest gear in the process.

Question 19

Did You Wear Flannels?

Thanks largely to Kurt Cobain and grunge music, the flannel became a style marker of the 1990s, and the look would be worn by a number of different people. For some professions, it is just a regular thing to wear to work, but for others, it invokes feelings of watching MTV when it still had music.

Question 20

Did You Do The Macarena?

Why do songs like this come out and take over the world? "The Macarena" was a song that shouldn’t have gotten as popular as it did, but this quirky song and accompanying dance was all the rage in the 90s, and so many of us are guilty of doing this ridiculous dance.

Question 21

Did You Fall In Love With A Spice Girl?

They tried telling us what we really, really wanted, but in truth, most of us just wanted one of them. The Spice Girls were a global phenomenon during the 1990s, and they sold millions of records in the process. There was a Spice Girl for everyone which is partly why they were a huge success.

Question 22

Did You Play With Pogs?

Pogs were one of the most interesting toys of the 90s, and playgrounds everywhere were littered with kids on their grind trying to add to their pog collection. You could find a pog that fit everyone’s tastes, and kids had binders full of them. My Mighty Ducks slammer was an unstoppable force.

Question 23

Did You Have Beanie Babies?

Dumb things have a weird way of becoming popular, and fewer things from the 90s embody this more than Beanie Babies These little toys were an instant hit, and people began collecting them and putting a protective cover over the tags to preserve them. Yeah, they were a big deal.

Question 24

Did You Have A TalkBoy?

Thanks to Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2, every kid in the 90s wanted a TalkBoy. After seeing what he was able to do with it, we all knew that the opportunities were endless, and that a TalkBoy was the best way to get things done. In reality, they were just a voice recorder and they were fun for 10 minutes.

Question 25

Did You Have Creepy Crawlers?

This was easily one of the coolest toys of the entire decade. With Creepy Crawlers, you and your friends could hang out and make disgusting looking bugs in your bedroom. You could also buy molds for making superheroes too! Shout-out to Doctor Dreadful for being a dope toy too.

Question 26

Did You Listen To Ska Music?

While it may not be as revered as grunge music, ska became popular in the 90s, and for better or for worse, it was a staple of the decade. Many kids who fancied themselves skaters but who were actually posers listened to ska music, while real skaters listened to punk.

Question 27

Did You Rollerblade?

Brink was the movie that Disney used to capitalize on the extreme sports fad, and it also made rollerblading look super cool. It was an integral part of the X Games, and kids everywhere sported a pair at one point. These day, you’d better not be caught putting around on a pair.

Question 28

Did You Eat Warheads?

These candies were a true test of grit on the playground, and if you were able to endure the pain that came by eating Warheads, you were rewarded with a tasty candy and a day’s worth of glory. The 1990s would not have been the same without kids torturing themselves by eating Warheads.

Question 29

Did You Drink Surge?

Caffeine is one heck of a drug, and in the 90s, there was no better way to consume caffeine than to drink Surge. It served as an alternative to Mountain Dew and the advertising campaign was made to make the drink look hip. It disappeared for years before making a huge comeback within the last few years.

Question 30

Did You Use Napster?

Before Pandora and Spotify came along and made listening to music easy and affordable, kids were relegated to buying tapes and CDs. That is until Napster came along and completely changed the music industry in a negative way. People illegally downloaded music, and the music industry was never the same again.

Question 31

Did You Have Frosted Tips?

We have already highlighted several questionable fashion trends from the 90s, but we couldn’t live with ourselves if we didn’t talk about this. Frosted tips were all the rage towards the end of the decade, and boy bands and celebrities alike helped make this look fashionable. In hindsight, it was so, so bad.

Question 32

Did You Watch Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air?

This show is easily one of the funniest sitcoms ever created, and it helped make Will Smith a mega star during the 1990s. He is a performer who has conquered music, television and movies, and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air remains one of the crowning jewels of his career.

Question 33

Did You Have Bop It?

Bop It was such an infuriating, yet addicting toy that people couldn’t get enough of during the 90s. When you watched your friends do it, it looked so dang easy. Then, once you got your hands on it, you found yourself tensing up and blowing it. Can’t you just hear the Bop It voice in your head?

Question 34

Did You Have Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater?

This is one of the greatest video game franchises that has ever been made, and when it debuted towards the end of the decade, it changed the game. You weren’t living your best life if you didn’t have Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and your childhood was terrible without it.

Question 35

Did You Have A Hacky Sack

Ska music, baggy jeans and hacky sack all went hand in hand back in the 90s. Hacky sack was such a simple, silly game that caught fire during the decade. It was a solid way to kill time with friends, and it could be fun for about 5 to 10 minutes.
