Getting older comes with a whole slew of annoyances. Aches and pains! Wrinkles and gray hairs! Not being able to stay up all night doing molly at a rave inside an abandoned airplane hangar!
But while you change over time, the world around you is changing, too. The things that kids today enjoy are completely different than what you loved. By the same token, the stuff you loved as a youngster would look to today’s youth like the artifacts of an ancient civilization. (Which they kind of are!)
When you realize that your childhood favorites have now become obsolete, it can really mess with your head. But you’re in luck! Because plenty of your fellow geezers feel the same way. So let’s all forget about the unstoppable progress of time by reminiscing about our favorite childhood junk!
