20 Things From the 90's We Thought Were Lost Forever

The '90s were a treasure trove of lost or forgotten memories, from the painful impact of old Nerf bullets to the practical use of plastic bread bags over boots during snowy days.

Who could overlook the Best Buy reminders urging everyone to power down their computers before the new millennium, heightening the drama of Y2K panic?

And let's not forget that surreal scene in the Rugrats movie where Tommy contemplates sacrificing his newborn brother Dill to a troop of monkeys.

Additionally, the '90s left us with enduring images, like the old drug PSA posters that vividly depicted the dire consequences of consuming magic mushrooms. These memories, though sometimes strange, bring back the unique quirks of the '90s.
