90s kids aren't special. Every generation is nostalgic.
90s kids were over marketed with every need-to-have-item that our boomer parents wouldn’t buy for us because they grew up poor in the shadow of WW2, and now we’re willing to fork out the cash for everything we felt we missed in the 90s.

Occasionally a 22-minute television episode will take 30+ minutes to watch with all the ads, and its worse than broadcast television
Hulu has more ads than YouTube if you can believe it. More ads than regular tv

Remember when I made a pumpkin pie from scratch and brought it to my friend's house for thanksgiving and they didn't serve it so I've eaten zero pumpkin pie and don't have my glass pie plate anymore?

It's so startling to hear a vacuum cleaner in Downton Abbey.
I don't care if vacuums were invented in 1901. If Maggie Smith's character threw a hissy fit for half a season for the house using electricity, Elsie Carson's character's toaster fills the hall with smoke, I can be shocked by a vacuum.

Made a chocolate meringue pie and now I refuse to share it.
I've nevere made chocolate meringue pie before, or eaten one before, so I had to sample it first to make sure I wasn't going to poison any eaters.
And I can't bring over a pie with a piece cut out of it...

Six sides prepped and ready to reheat tomorrow, and two pies cooling on the stove.
Water went out for 45 minutes in the middle of cooking. Per the thanksgiving eve tradition, water cut out when my hands and kitchen are covered in grease, butter, and cooked veggie scraps, at the hottest time of day.

My new curl creme makes my hair look good curly and wavy, AND straight, even better than it usually looks straight.
Curl creme for everyone and every hair type!
Except bitches with naturally straight frizz free hair, save the curl creme for the rest of us.

Parsnip thinkings cheating is wrong, entirely wrong.
Except on a diet when the person isn't at risk for heart failure due to dietary intake.

I've been screwed over a dozen times by people in my department because they have higher titles. I'm done being the bigger person.
I see the department director on a regular basis in person, hella more often than they speak to her.
Hope they enjoy my new meeting chitchat topics with the director.

Found out a stressful project I spent 40 hours in two weeks on is "cancelled" after my boss asked the lead for an update.
Cancelled: I'm being removed from it, my product is chopped to pieces, a new head with no expertise is repackaging my intellectual property and taking full credit for my work.
