Does anyone remember Surge? It was a soda that came out in the 90’s similar to Mountain Dew.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I remember it. Thank you for watching!

[@savagejiren9660]

Yep, I was in high school when these came out and they were giving these away one day.

[@meltdown537]

I still see it in stores sometimes

[@themisfitowl2595]

Anybody remember Nano Pets? The Tamagotchi craze had created a few competitors and one of them was Nano Pets. I remember getting one with a cat and I enjoyed playing with it. Until I realized that if you missed one day of playing the tiny thing, the pet would "run away" and the game would reset. It was frustrating.

[@banditt18]

yes i remember every one but me had one

[@gwenjoy2538]

I had an orange one. My heart was broken if I missed one day

[@main_pimp_8513]

Definitely...every girl in my school had some form of the digital pets..😂

[@Sabot46290]

My parents wouldn't let me have a Tamagotchi and I found a Nano Pet in the trash one day, so I had to keep it and somehow despite not being able to care for it while at home, it thrived for longer than I anticipated. Looking back, I laugh at how those things were, for my friends and I, probably one of the first forms of addiction to a digital medium of entertainment that was conveniently small enough to carry around and be available at all times.

I remember working at Walmart in the late 90s and one of the demo ladies gave us all those WoW chips to sample, we were all sick in the bathroom at work that night and i think around 9pm that night a few of us had to go home, it was horrible.

[@erikavaleries]

OMG 😃😳🤣 I am so sorry 😐

Orbitz was one of my childhood faves. When I was 13, I had a daily paper route. On the bike ride home, I'd stop into the corner store to grab one every day. I was legitimately upset when they stopped it.

I was a 90's kid, but I never saw the spring water for Cats and Dogs. I can see why it flopped lol. Most pets are happy drinking water from a puddle or the toilet, even though we give them a fresh bowl of water at least once a day, multiple times a day for me. Mine probably wouldn't have liked that spring water anyways. Animals are kind of picky when it comes to flavored things.

[@ttop64]

I can certainly remember when Beanie Babies were all the rage . I know I stood in line when stores would get a new shipment in to get one of the many coveted bears . I even knew of people that would follow UPS and Fed Ex trucks to see if they had Beanie deliveries. Some wild and crazy times.

[@RhettyforHistory]

They really were a huge deal and they exploded on the internet with people talking about which ones were rare and/or valuable. Thank you for watching and sharing some of your memories from the decade!

[@richardcarpenter7454]

My fondest extinct product from the 90's was Josta, a dark purple tropical fruit soda from Pepsi. Got a big hit of nostalgia when I saw it on a table in the Loki series.

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

We LOVED Orbitz. It was like an early Boba. The tiny gelatins were chewy. And the drink was yummy.

[@dimebag667]

I loved them too. I don't remember the gelatin balls being chewy (more squishy), but they were tasty, and the drink was good as well. And the polka dot #2's were also entertaining ☺️

Zima is STILL present in Japan, not discontinued. It is not simply left over inventory, they are still marketing and producing fresh product. I was there all of September.

Sorry about your wife. It sounds like you have great memories with her. I wish I was a teen in the 90s I was born February 11th 1993 but something about being a kid in the 1990s was special. Nice sounding mustang on one of your old videos. I remember racing a gt mustang when I first got my license when he shift into second his wheel hopped into the air then gripped and he was G.O.N.E 🤣

One thing from the '90s that I'm sure hardly anyone else remembers is a line of grape juices put out by Earnest & Julio Gallo. They were made from ( un-fermented ) wine grapes, and I really liked the different flavors ( there were three, though I can't remember which grapes they were from; I'm not a wine drinker ). Unfortunately, they only came in weird "carafe"-style bottles that were about 2/3 the size of a standard juice bottle, and about twice as expensive, so I didn't get to enjoy very many before they were cancelled.

We had a WebTV setup in the late 90s. It was a cheap way to surf the internet. It may be laughable by today's standards, but back then, computers were still expensive, so this was a good alternative.

At one point I had to do a paper on what I thought the future would be like, and I remember saying that personal computers would stop being so popular, and people would start subscribing to "Computing" as a utility. My version was basically that everyone would have dumb terminals in their homes, and all the processing and storage would be handled remotely by a mainframe. You would simply buy server time. Now with mobile internet and cloud computing more or less dominating the landscape, I'd say I was pretty much bang on target.

It's Ms Doubtfire with the whipped cream dripping from her face🤣

[@mudvalve]

It’s actually a good thing that Thirsty Cat and Thirsty Dog aren’t still around, I can imagine several other channels I watch devoting videos to taste-test them! (Honestly, there are people on KZbin who would happily try them!)

[@RhettyforHistory]

You're right about that. I have seen some channels like you are describing. Thank you for watching!

[@stinew358]

I think the product has potential with pet parents who have pets with kidney issues who need to encourage drinking

[@Chuthermucker]

I loved Zima! There are many of these that I don't remember though. You always find the neatest things. Rhetty have you stopped doing your cemetery videos?

[@mariahsmom9457]

Oh the Wow chips. Yes, I remember our old friend Olestra all too well.

[@brooksiedoodle5087]

I loved Orbitz ❤ I still miss it. It tasted fine, nothing wrong with it.

[@kimberleyannedemong5621]

The only one I remember is Zima. I have never really paid attention to new fads etc. Maybe I live in a bubble 😺

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching and sharing what you remember!

[@pamelas1002]

So forgotten, I didn't even remember most of the list! Thanks for the upload. I always look forward to seeing your content!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Some of these had a really short shelf life. Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the content!

[@joannewilson1162]

I remembered a few of these things but not many. Then again I was 10-19 during those years and like a lot of teens, I was absorbed in my own stuff/life. It is fun to look back. ❤

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I drank a lot of Zima during the 90s at the clubs. It was great with a shot of grenadine in it. It had a short-lived comeback back in 2020. I bought several cases of it, and still have some. (Jan Griffiths).

[@spencerfletcher6933]

Zima is still around in Japan. I always see it in convinate stores

[@swansfan6944]

Hi Rhett 🤗 bic pens and lighters are big here as well but we never got the disposable undies, must have pulled them from the shelves before they even made it down under 🇦🇺 I was blown away by the lifesavers drink we never got that one either. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

[@RhettyforHistory]

I'm not sure how widespread these things were. Some of these had super short shelf lives. I would bet they weren't everywhere in the U.S. either. Thank you for watching Jodie!

[@fairyjewels]

I feel like some of this could come back pretty strong today.

Born in '89 and first car I owned was a 1992 red Pontiac Sunbird convertible, it had the 3.1L v6 with a 5 speed manual, paid $1250 cash in 2013, a considerable amount of money after having graduated high school into the great recession, and owned it for 2 years while I attended Kalamazoo Valley Community College. I became the popular one and attracted lots of young females driving in the summer with the top down and wearing aviator sunglasss 😅, and brought back childhood memories of the Chevy cavalier, Oldsmobile Cutless and fox body mustang all of which were fairly popular convertibles in the area I grew up in, even into my high school years.

[@michellegray7892]

I actually liked orbitz, didn't taste anything like cough syrup to me but i admit i was a young kid at the time and i did initially try it because of the fun lava lamp look.

[@nickimontie]

The first one I recognized is the Newton and I still have mine! It got me through grad school!

[@RhettyforHistory]

Thank you for watching and sharing your memories of the Newton. That's awesome you still have it!

Hi Rhett 🙋🏽. I got a lot of these, and some I never heard of.😊😆😂😅🤣 LOL. Enjoy your day ‼️

I remember those chips, everybody loved them until they started getting cramps. It was big thing back then when the ingredients were out, people weren't pleased.

I worked at McDonald's during the beenie baby craze. We had armed guards and saw one lady get her arm broken. It was a mad house.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Wow! That is intense! I've always wondered how bad that was. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories!

[@lucky43113]

@@RhettyforHistory It was like a bar room braw. People throwing chairs. The story we got was 2 ladies hijacked a McDonald's semi truck on the freeway looking for beenie babies after that we had to step up our security

[@DJMetzler337]

I’m glad I worked after that in the Big N Tasty era. 😂

[@UmmYeahOk]

All these different McDonalds offerings and no mention of the McStuffins? I LOVED these! Loved the pepperoni pizza McStuffin! Wished they’d bring it back!

[@liz9359]

Cosmopolitan yogurt?Yum😛wonder what kind of flavors they had and if they had interesting names lol would loved to have tried them while flipping thru their mag😅haha what a interesting time indeed

[@RhettyforHistory]

I'm not sure what flavors they had but they weren't out long so there might not have been many. Thank you for watching Liz!

@@RhettyforHistory Clear pepsi was very popular in school. The reason was we were allowed water bottles and it looked just like water.

[@dennislogan6781]

I used to drink Zima in the 90's. It was an adult 7up. I am a man and can say if you wanted a mix drink but in a bottle it did the trick.

[@RhettyforHistory]

It was really popular and it really was like a 7up. Thank you for watching Dennis!

[@johnphantom]

@@RhettyforHistory Yes I think you downplayed how popular it was with guys too in the beginning. I tried ONE, in a bar one night. I was not impressed. Personally I hate all the flavored malt liquor crap (not talking about like St. Ides malt liquor, that is a different class).

[@RhettyforHistory]

It was definitely a big time for flavored things like bartles and james, mad dog and jolly ranchers in Zima.

[@johnphantom]

@@RhettyforHistory Up to 1989 when the fed made a national wine tax, wine coolers were actually made with wine and juice. I preferred real wine coolers for day drinking.
