You were born in the 80s if...

You remember the first time you played the most popular plumber on earth on the Nes

It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" ride at the amusement park.

You wore shoes with little lights that flashed when you'd step

You thought "Glow in the dark" stuff was cool

Water balloons were the ultimate ultimate weapon.

you know what beetle juice refers to

You wondered why CDs wouldnt play on your turntable

You remember the first time you tried to breakdance and nearly broke your neck

Your parents had a TV that was deprived of remote control

Kool-aid was the drink of summer

Being old, referred to anyone over 20.

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team

Hula Hoops
