It was only today that I realized they discontinued the Dr Pepper lip smacker flavor back in 2020

I wanted to buy my daughter one and was like where the f is it? 😩

The new bath and bodyworks scent descriptions are so funny because wdym you’re listing “nostalgic 90s mall” as a fragrance note?? What does that even mean?

I’ve been super into building book nooks lately (wooden puzzles that make a little structure) and I was sooooo excited to do this Astrology Bookshop for October.

But I accidentally bought an off brand model of the kit I had my eye on. Looked the same, same price, but realized I got a lemon 😞

Was bidding on this Shelby Woo dvd (which I regretted not buying during its release) but lost out in the last minute to someone else (it was about $50 w/shipping) only to have the person pull the auction and relist it as this the next day as this 💀

I just want to live in a JELL-O Halloween world

I’m just really tickled that someone made a Strait-Jacket edit on TikTok, like what are the odds this is very niche/me

Also they love the commercials — the anthropomorphic McDonald’s Halloween nuggets went over HUGE.

Still got it 😁

Watching DTV’s Monster Hits with my kids on my old tube tv (streaming a copy with commercials from my laptop) and it’s surprisingly still really engaging?? Like they’re locked in which I didn’t expect

I still yearn to throw a Halloween party like the one in Casper

An elite Halloween episode that doesn’t get mentioned nearly enough is America’s Scariest Home Video from Eerie Indiana. Perfect fall 90s vibes

Definitely bought this $9 Hallmark popup card for decoration purposes only

(it’s so cute and surprisingly big)

There’s nothing like a grocery store in September and October.

Just my fave place to be for the fall vibes 🎃

I fear that I’ve just been lurking in the weird corner of TikTok where people make videos about Halloween and fall and half of them are the same but I like every single one

Feeling the vibes 🎃🍂

First pumpkin bread of the season
(Chocolate chip ofc) 🎃

I was super excited to try this flavor, mostly because I love the packaging, but it’s like nothing?

I mean I guess it lived up to its name because it’s like when ice melts in your juice and it’s a watery bland mess.

Did everyone know that World Market is selling Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles lemonade mix in an adorable retro tin??

I didn’t!

Sorry but this current slurpee design is just a downgrade. It’s so boring.

Would give anything for this shirt

Also summer 1995 was epic

Clueless.
The Net.
Waterworld.
The Baby-sitters Club.

It’s hard to explain to the average boy how epic April-June 1995 was for the majority of tween/teen girls.

Chris O’Donnell had a movie out every single month!!

I anticipated every single one — Batman Forever may have been the big blockbuster but all 3 were first day in theater films for me
