I can say yes to all of them, execpt to the one about the shirt collar. I love 80's music. I have a huge collection of it. And the wierd thing is that I am only 21.

Almost same for me , but i was born in 82 so i remember stuff from like the earliest is 85 , but Poland unfortunatelly wasn't the forward country in those times and most things (like McDonalds and TV shows like f.e A-team) i have seen in 89 or early 90s...

Well growing up in the lower Hutt (Eastbourne actually but same thing) area of course I did all that stuff :D except I had one of them "Cool Kids" luchboxes with a matching drink bottle.

Born in '76 I was right on time for the 80's crazes (except the mullet :uhoh: ).

Shit i feel old :bloated: :bloated: :bloated:

how bout the clay-mation cartoons? (i think that was 80's)

yeah the MTV claymations. those were messed up. Back when MTV was GOOD.

fear of quicksand - it seemed that was the way you would die well at least on tv and in movies, ect...

Not only Coke2 but Clear Coke!!! :eek:

I had a Big Wheels with Cabbage Patch Kids on it...

I wore 2 pairs of slouch socks at the same time; 2 different colors, each foot having a different color on the outside.

I wore sandals with socks.

I had t-shirt rings to hold my shirts off to the side.

I crimped my hair.

I still own 2 Debbie Gibson CASSETTES!!!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles!!! :p

My Little Pony lunch boxes rule!!! Not to mention the Thermos with Strawberry Shortcake!!

(I remember far too much seeing as how I was born more than half-way through '82!!!)

I almost forgot about Crystal Pepsi. That stuff was awesome!!!

Oh good God. I remember all sorts of stuff from the '80's.
Like when chicken McNuggets came in the yellow styrofoam box.

I had a 'fanny pack'.

I had almost all the Ninja Turtles action figures.

I watched Ghostbusters.

Something cool was 'rad'.

I was born in Sept. '82 btw.

Guilty :rolleyes:

I wil almost admit to owning pastel coloured clothes and a hypercolour T-shirt... almost

<------- Same here, well most of them anyhow.

the happy meals dont come in boxes anymore?!?!?!?:angryfire
damn bastards...i guess they have to cut back somewhere when they have a 98395873275 square foot play area these days

thats quite scary that i can relate to each one of those things....guilty, and yes as a secret confession i own the 80's box set.

who the heck is Max Headroom? thats the only one I can't say yes to, and it sounds soooo familiar. And my lunch box was a plastic 'ring raiders', or 'sky riders'.....I can't remember

Max Headroom was awesome! A 'puter program with attitude - only his head appeared though - he'd get the jitters sometimes and you'd get an electrical stutter.

Anyone remember Sledge Hammer? :D
