Love when mrs lush tries to be sweet and compliment Leon for having his own movie with “the professional “ and he glosses right past it hahahaha. Y’all are amazing
Born in 2002, but I remember a lot of these. What bridges the gap between the time is my family not being wealthy, so technology came to us later, as we used older generation tech, since it was cheaper. Now im 21, make good money, and am catching my family back up to speed. 😊
Yes I was born in ‘98 and I remember majority of this as well. I didn’t use internet at home until I was about 10 or 11. We had a pc back in ‘05 but my dad used it to burn cd’s and bootleg movies 😂
I grew up without ANY material goods, except above average computers and the highest capacity lines aviable during the 90s. BBS's and early days internet pages. What truely bridges the gap between generations is how much us millennials believe in the coming generations. Y'all rocks.
How did you not mention Transformers.... Or the BiWay KMart versions GOBOTS.. ok that early 80s.. haha Or the Original series Star wars figures.. I ended up buying for a steal a bunch of Star wars figured off of the younger brothers of kids my age who had gotten them from their older brothers in my mid teens (93-95).. But I, like a tosser, just used them to make stop motion movies on a video camera (hit pause.. move... play.. hit pause.. move) and ended up using a soldering iron and fake blood and destoryed most of them.. now they even more collectable than in the mid 90s when they were already a thing,, haha oops.
@@drdelewded transformers and gobots where cool but too technical for my hyperactive ass😂 i did have a big Star Wars phase though, i still have my original Admiral Ackbar and Hoth Luke figures from Kenner!
Awww dude, this one kinda got me in the feels. I was born in '84 and some of those things were so important to me as a kid. Nostalgia is one crazy thing
Thanks for being more consistent with these types of videos. Your wife, as you know, is a gem, and yalls dynamic is what keeps me coming back. Brain worms eats my soul so meh. Lol thanks man.
I was born in 80 so I am Gen X. I remember having to use the actual Tv guide magazine to find what was coming on. When it was available on the cable box I was in heaven. Yes, "Got milk" is still a thing, lol. There are still commercials playing today using that phrase. My most favorite past time is listening to the radio, waiting for a song to come on and hitting record on the casette deck. Such good times. I think Typo Negative- Black No 1 was the first one I ever did.
Gen X born 77 here. Definitely remember the paper TV guide and even remember the way it smelled. Remember making mix tapes also. How about calling the radio station requesting a song to your bf/gf to apologize for the fight you had earlier? 😅 Type O Negative Black number 1 is still one of my favorite songs
i was born in 79 so i was 10-20 in the 90s There is some things I miss like the low rent lol And no social media but I couldn't live without the Internet nowadays lol
1980 for me. Being that sliver of a micro-generation is wild. Too young for earlier Gen X stuff and too old for younger Millenial stuff, but we got to experience the entirety of the 90s as kids, teenagers, and to a lesser extent adults. That was great.
@@pagingdrbitchcraft we are Xennials the micro-generation between 1977 to 1983 Think of it we're kind of like the bridge between Gen X and millennials. When I found out about this it made Since because I don't completely Identify with Millennials or Gen X i'm somewhere in between with my Nintendo lolol
My 9 year old daughter bought a tamagotchi and after opening it and playing with it for 5 minutes and then asked how she turns it off and when she realized she couldn’t because it’s practically a pet that you have to take care of once in awhile, she decided she didn’t want it any more 😂 the kids now don’t have the patience like we were forced to have back in the 90’s Also we buy those little hugs now for our kids because they actually have less sugar then most of the other juice brands
The "got milk?" ad campaign was wild because the dairy industry was over producing the nations needs and the government along with an advertising agency came up with the ad campaign to try and get the public to drink more milk, to prop up the dairy industry. It was like the "Government Cheese" situation, where the US government is still sitting on millions of pounds of cheese that it would buy from Dairy Farmers to prop up the market.
5:28 as a freshly made 20 year old i can def say me and my friends love cheezy old movies like that just because the vibe is so different and refreshing and also because its fun to laugh at all the old and now considered cliche tropes and lines so they may not be as revered as they once were they definitely are still enjoyed
Yes, and every time they would show a TV Guide in an actual TV show, it would always have a very particular ad on the back, I think it was like Wrigleys gum or something. It was like a nested product placement I think.
Those were the days, I do miss them. Anti-skip that still skipped, cassette tapes that plugged into CD players, 300lb RCA swivel TVs and my favorite resident evil/ castlevania on playstation. Great video guys
I had a “My Buddy” doll and my little sister got the “Kid Sister”. Most I remember is taping a steak knife to one of his hands and wake my sister up with the my buddy staring at her. Still makes me giggle🤙🏽
As a kid I only wanted Kool-Aid when I went inside because I had been outside all day drinking hot water from the hose (and probably injuring myself on my Huffy or Roller Blades).
Great video! They STILL sell little hugs at the grocery store. I walked by a big display last week and gagged 😂 I wish the video included the different colored ketchups and my favorite...Hulk milk. Which was just green hersheys chocolate syrup.
Kinda sad that as a Millennial born 1984 I thought I’d be able to identify more with this one, but a lot of this was USA specific, however in the UK Tamagotchis were also huge and also banned in schools! We had similar call plans for our mobiles but I didn’t know the clothes ones or most of the tv programmes you mentioned, still a really fun video though, thank you for sharing your nostalgia!
I was born in 97, but my area's always like 10 years behind(rural area). Does anyone remember PDA's? They were like little electronic planners that came with styluses.
I remember electronic organizers that came before PDAs, basically a glorified calculator but you could keep notes and stuff in it and staying up late the night before big tests and painfully punching in all the answers on the teeny tiny keyboard, instead of just studying for the test.
Pogs, the rebock pump up shoes, watching Jordan playing in his prime, puffy skate shoes, rollerblading, and video rentals, and I'm sure alot more that I'm forgetting that wasn't mentioned.
Born in ‘98 and grew up all through the the 2000’s got to see the transition to what we know, had a pager, then a migo, then a razor, and didn’t get an iPhone til I was 15 or 16 now looking back, I miss those days. Hell of a lot easier for sure. Especially ‘90s Nick and CN
It was fun going to Butlins or Haven for a cheap holiday with a disposable camera as a kid. It would often be forgotten about and never developed, or once it was they would get one viewing before being put away forever. The fun part was taking the pictures and knowing you only had 20 or 30 so rationing them. Click 📸
And people who had weddings would put a disposable camera on each table and the guests would get hammered and take insane pictures and everyone leaves the cameras behind for the couple to develop after the wedding and look at all the pictures like drunk uncle doing macarena in aunt's high heel shoes or such corny stuff.
The reason we all drank sugary drinks in the 90's is because parents wouldn't pay for bottled water when you could just get it for "free" out of the tap. Which most parents didn't bring water with them so they would have to stop off at a gas station somewhere on the way to the park or wherever they were going and the sugary drinks were cheaper than a bottle of water. 25-50 cents for a kool-aid jammer or 50-80 cents for a bottle of water.
oh my goodness the ringback tone thing unlocked a memory for me. I used to switch it depending on my mood. and having to go into the weird ass janky store on your phone to get one was a whole thing. but then one day I got super annoyed and got rid of it... but that was a fad that lasted for years. ...and when anyone mentions Abercrombie & Finch... i can just smell the store from just the name being spoken alone lol i also got cream savers recently because i really wanted them and found out they dont sell them in stores anymore... and i gave them out to my friends and then i gave them out to some of my friends who are bouncers/security at some of the venues i go to and they all were like "memory unlocked" and were so excited about them!
In Australia we didn't have the guide on TV. Instead, we had the Sunday Telegraph newspaper, and people use to buy it every Sunday just so they could get that week's TV guide that was inside of it. It was a TV guide the same size as a magazine, but only 10 pages. I remember my grandma would complain if she forgot to get the newspaper off of the paperboy, because she would have no TV guide for a week.
I always, no idea how, but I forget you're a New Englandah like me, when you referenced Canobie Lake Park my mouth dropped... So cool. Great video as always!
I still have the Nickelodeon alarm clock and the matching phone. I'm 44 years old and I've had that combo since they've existed. I took them with me in the Army and they've traveled the world with me. It is one of the most annoying alarm ever made and I'm proud to still own mine
My best friend would set the alarm for midnight when I wasn’t looking. I still have mine and I’m only 32 but if I used that alarm I’d give myself a heart attack 😂
Leon mentioned Dave matthews band & I was instantly compelled to go listen to Ants Marching on repeat before finishing this video... I am not ashamed .
Lmao the fooking TV GUIDE CHANNEL!!! 🤣 God that brought me back. I used to get so fing pissed when I would look away for a second and miss my channel 😂 ahhh good times. Love that you guys did this
Remember...POGs. discman/Walkman, paper fortune tellers, skip-its, satellite dishes(so big that you could communicate to other galaxies now)actually moved when changing channels, fruit stripe gum, jelly shoes and pagers. I'm from Charlotte..so I definitely rocked the Charlotte Hornets starter jacket.
(12:09) True. I don’t remember drinking enough water as a kid and teen. I do remember drinking Dr. Pepper and other soft drinks and eating junk food all the time. That was mostly due to the fact that schools had vending machines in the 90s and my parents didn’t know any better . I remember having headaches three times a week as a kids and I have never had another headache after I discovered water and eating two decent meals a day. Shout out to the U.S. Army for making me appreciate water and food at the age of 18. My life has greatly improved since then.
6:11 I was in STING and the GATE program during school, and I remember one of the laser disc players and TV sets were haunted as hell. Only time I ever encountered a laser disc.
That TV guide part reminded me of how we used to get those DirecTV guides in the mail at the beginning of every month. Thats how we found out if a show was coming on again throughout the month. My mom used to circle them so she would know when to put record on VHS. I also remember waking up on the summer days and watching tv in the living room when the timer would pop up warning me that its about to change to a specific channel. Id have to call mom and ask her of shes gonna record it or can I change the channel? I miss those days.
i turned thirteen in nineteen ninety so i got to fully enjoy the decade and it was such a different world than where we are now imo it was better. Maybe not as convenient or as accessible but still better to grow up in imo
lol, reminiscing about the tv guide channel, that's still a thing with digital TV (although it's not a channel) and back in the day, we used to have to BUY A MAGAZINE to see what shows were coming up for the week!
FuncoLand, ABACABB (You aren't a 90's kid without this one), Super Soakers (Obviously), Vortex Football (Still nothing comes close), Pogo Ball, Nickelodeon Gak, Orbitz Drink, X-Men Cards, Pogs, I could go on forever. The 90's was amazing!
Yo so i was like 5 and I had a My Buddy doll right... Around the same time, I accidentally was in the room as my older cousins were watching Child's Play... So in turn, that doll basically turned into Chucky for me and was never near my room at night and I basically tortured it by running it over with my bike and power wheels for the next few years, hoping to kill it... wow, I haven't seen that commercial or thought of that in forever... lol
I remember using Cingular - Remember Cingular "Raising the Bar" !! And I remember looking thru like teen magazines to buy new ringtones...and wallpapers for my flip phone or like my pill shaped phone. I had both😂
Hey Mr. Lush by the way those Little Hugs til this day are still amazing!!! Every month I grab a 48 pack of them for me & my 2 daughters & they're usually gone within like 2 weeks🤣🤣
Laser discs 🤣🤣🤣. My entire middle school betted on the wrong horse. They refreshed all of their video/audio equipment to be compatible with Laser Disc technology and then a year later it was obsolete and replaced by DVDs.
I worked part time at a mum&pop electronics store after school, and I still remember the owner giving the sales pitch to customers about how great they were and how the future was laser discs, and then yeah, the next year when I worked there they had been completely obsoleted and replaced with DVDs.
Cars still have the 12 volt sockets so you can plug in things like handheld vacuums or those tiny, portable fridges. They just don't include the actual push-in lighter, but you can buy one from a car parts shop if you really want to. My car is a 2021 Corolla and the 12 V socket is inside the centre console next to the USB charging port.
I've joked for years that 1 day this story would show my age and I believe that time has come: When I was in 6th grade I was trying to do some research for a school project on the library computer but eventually got fed up with how useless the internet was and went and got an encyclopedia instead.
My experience in the 1990's can best be encapsulated by the following items: Nickelodeon Sitcoms such as Clarissa Explains It All and Welcome Freshmen; Beverly Hills 90210, the movie and TV show Clueless and their slang words ("As IF", "Barney and Betty") and the music of Mariah Carey, Salt N Pepa, Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera.
I’m so effing happy I found y’all! I lost 100 lbs two years ago, had a tummy tuck and had horrible healing complications where I was bed bound and since then I’ve gained 60 lbs back and seeing yalls older videos and then now has inspired me so much! Mama Lush looked INCREDIBLE even before her weight loss, hell that’s what I aspire to look like! Just so excited to keep up with y’all!
Leon, we all had that same cassette holder lol. Same with the big grey black and brown stereo system. With the big silver knobs and sliders for different tones and bass etc. They were really expensive but really good.
Hell yeah, any other old as hell people out there that figured out you could see part of the winning bottle cap on a Pepsi when you tipped it at an angle when they started doing that contest and used to get buy one get one free (with the winning cap you just opened after you paid for it) sodas after school with your bros? We did that for months! How about the "Monsters of the Gridiron" giveaways off Coke bottles? I won a Monster stylized green football and I think a shirt when I was a kid from that one. How about 39 cent cheeseburgers once a week at McDonalds and free fries etc. from the Monopoly game? My best friend got his license early because we lived in the sticks and he worked on a farm, he drove a crappy beat up van that never had gas in it. We would take that POS full of people through the drive-thru while skipping school and get the max (10, but two trips around so 20 and able to use more Monopoly coupons the second time) cheeseburgers and whatever free Monopoly stuff we had from the last time we were there and sit and eat that trash for hours and get wasted (if we could talk some weird guy into buying us a 30 pack of Red Dog, and he could have two beers and keep the change of course) before football practice or whatever else we had to do that day. Hell no we don't want to "Super Size that", we gotta use that $0.76 to put enough gas in the van to get us wherever we were supposed to be and then home!
My starter jacket was the Cowboys. Couldn't tell you why lol. I also always remember Surge for some reason but it never gets mentioned in 90s convos. And forget the TV guide channel... I remember the TV guide books in the 90s lol.
I can't remember perfectly correctly on this, but I think with those plastic blue-juice bottles, I think if you pinch the top nozzle sideways then it pops open? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, I do remember mostly getting frustrated as a kid and ripping the whole top off a lot.
“Grape Drank”that’s what Dave Chapelle was talkin bout 😂😂,,I never knew about the kook-aid twist offs being a straw,WOW!!,TY soooo much for the memories 🥹🥹& you 2 just being you😇shout out to little Lush🤘,✌🏻💕from Fla.😎
Remember the Secret Sender? It was a messaging device that could send messages to someone else that had one. For some reason it also had a tv remote on it lol. I used to turn the TV on in school and when the teacher would go to turn it off, i would turn it off. They didnt know what the hell was happening.
My push lighter still works in my car. 2004 smart car killing it! We still have a woodgrain cassette holder full of cassettes that still play. We look after our stuff in this house! Where were the POGS damnit?!
I don't remember anyone having their own laser disk at home, but I remember it being very much a classroom thing. Schools were heavily invested into laser disk. Or maybe it was more of a middle/upper class thing. Everyone I knew was poor.

Only 1 thing missing to complete the nostalgia, Tweety bird shirts. My early childhood I remember Walmart was full of everything Tweety bird

My best friend would set the alarm for midnight when I wasn’t looking. I still have mine and I’m only 32 but if I used that alarm I’d give myself a heart attack 😂
Leon mentioned Dave matthews band & I was instantly compelled to go listen to Ants Marching on repeat before finishing this video...
I am not ashamed .
Converse All•Stars, Champion Hoodies, Starter Jackets & New Era snapbacks...man I miss the 90s.
Lmao the fooking TV GUIDE CHANNEL!!! 🤣 God that brought me back. I used to get so fing pissed when I would look away for a second and miss my channel 😂 ahhh good times. Love that you guys did this
Remember...POGs. discman/Walkman, paper fortune tellers, skip-its, satellite dishes(so big that you could communicate to other galaxies now)actually moved when changing channels, fruit stripe gum, jelly shoes and pagers.
I'm from Charlotte..so I definitely rocked the Charlotte Hornets starter jacket.
Saturday Anime on SciFi was my jam. Had a friend go to Japan for his birthday and came back with anime magazines. We were hooked.
(12:09) True. I don’t remember drinking enough water as a kid and teen. I do remember drinking Dr. Pepper and other soft drinks and eating junk food all the time. That was mostly due to the fact that schools had vending machines in the 90s and my parents didn’t know any better . I remember having headaches three times a week as a kids and I have never had another headache after I discovered water and eating two decent meals a day. Shout out to the U.S. Army for making me appreciate water and food at the age of 18. My life has greatly improved since then.
Some of us are a little bit older and loved the 90’s ❤
But Love Mrs. Lush and Leon the most!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
6:11 I was in STING and the GATE program during school, and I remember one of the laser disc players and TV sets were haunted as hell. Only time I ever encountered a laser disc.
Hugs” are still going strong, I get them often for 50 cents when I walk to corner store for something else n get unexpectedly thirsty🤣🤣
They used to be a quarter!
Lmao. I had a Hornets Starter, couldn't tell me $hit. Cream Savers, Carmen San Diego and Hug drinks was life!
That TV guide part reminded me of how we used to get those DirecTV guides in the mail at the beginning of every month. Thats how we found out if a show was coming on again throughout the month. My mom used to circle them so she would know when to put record on VHS.
I also remember waking up on the summer days and watching tv in the living room when the timer would pop up warning me that its about to change to a specific channel. Id have to call mom and ask her of shes gonna record it or can I change the channel? I miss those days.
i turned thirteen in nineteen ninety so i got to fully enjoy the decade and it was such a different world than where we are now imo it was better. Maybe not as convenient or as accessible but still better to grow up in imo
I turned 13 that year also so got to experience the 80s as a kid and the 90s as a teenager/ early 20s. We had the best of both decades
lol, reminiscing about the tv guide channel, that's still a thing with digital TV (although it's not a channel) and back in the day, we used to have to BUY A MAGAZINE to see what shows were coming up for the week!
FuncoLand, ABACABB (You aren't a 90's kid without this one), Super Soakers (Obviously), Vortex Football (Still nothing comes close), Pogo Ball, Nickelodeon Gak, Orbitz Drink, X-Men Cards, Pogs, I could go on forever. The 90's was amazing!
Yo so i was like 5 and I had a My Buddy doll right... Around the same time, I accidentally was in the room as my older cousins were watching Child's Play... So in turn, that doll basically turned into Chucky for me and was never near my room at night and I basically tortured it by running it over with my bike and power wheels for the next few years, hoping to kill it... wow, I haven't seen that commercial or thought of that in forever... lol
If we only knew how awesome it was back then, back then ❤️
I remember using Cingular - Remember Cingular "Raising the Bar" !!
And I remember looking thru like teen magazines to buy new ringtones...and wallpapers for my flip phone or like my pill shaped phone. I had both😂
Leon the professional is Classic.
@HesTheDefenseAgainstTheLGBTQArtsTeacher
Traumatic?!
If you think Leon the professional is traumatic.... you got some Rough times ahead of you
Hey Mr. Lush by the way those Little Hugs til this day are still amazing!!! Every month I grab a 48 pack of them for me & my 2 daughters & they're usually gone within like 2 weeks🤣🤣
Laser discs 🤣🤣🤣. My entire middle school betted on the wrong horse. They refreshed all of their video/audio equipment to be compatible with Laser Disc technology and then a year later it was obsolete and replaced by DVDs.
I worked part time at a mum&pop electronics store after school, and I still remember the owner giving the sales pitch to customers about how great they were and how the future was laser discs, and then yeah, the next year when I worked there they had been completely obsoleted and replaced with DVDs.
Cars still have the 12 volt sockets so you can plug in things like handheld vacuums or those tiny, portable fridges. They just don't include the actual push-in lighter, but you can buy one from a car parts shop if you really want to. My car is a 2021 Corolla and the 12 V socket is inside the centre console next to the USB charging port.
This video made my whole day!!! I adore you guys
I've joked for years that 1 day this story would show my age and I believe that time has come: When I was in 6th grade I was trying to do some research for a school project on the library computer but eventually got fed up with how useless the internet was and went and got an encyclopedia instead.
My experience in the 1990's can best be encapsulated by the following items: Nickelodeon Sitcoms such as Clarissa Explains It All and Welcome Freshmen; Beverly Hills 90210, the movie and TV show Clueless and their slang words ("As IF", "Barney and Betty") and the music of Mariah Carey, Salt N Pepa, Janet Jackson and Christina Aguilera.
I’m so effing happy I found y’all! I lost 100 lbs two years ago, had a tummy tuck and had horrible healing complications where I was bed bound and since then I’ve gained 60 lbs back and seeing yalls older videos and then now has inspired me so much!
Mama Lush looked INCREDIBLE even before her weight loss, hell that’s what I aspire to look like!
Just so excited to keep up with y’all!
Leon, we all had that same cassette holder lol. Same with the big grey black and brown stereo system. With the big silver knobs and sliders for different tones and bass etc. They were really expensive but really good.
You all are awesome. I have been binging your main channel and this one! You both remind me of me and my girlfriend. So great!
Leave it to some random guy on ticktock unlocking OLD memories that's been collecting dust, got shaken off, and sent a cold sweat down my back.
4:22 the constant beeping because no one knew how to mute them. It drove our teachers crazy
Omg the professional and trainspotting!!!! Great movies, great soundtrack on trainspotting.
My first car had push lighter, my sister had no idea what it was and almost fucked around a little too much
Hell yeah, any other old as hell people out there that figured out you could see part of the winning bottle cap on a Pepsi when you tipped it at an angle when they started doing that contest and used to get buy one get one free (with the winning cap you just opened after you paid for it) sodas after school with your bros? We did that for months! How about the "Monsters of the Gridiron" giveaways off Coke bottles? I won a Monster stylized green football and I think a shirt when I was a kid from that one. How about 39 cent cheeseburgers once a week at McDonalds and free fries etc. from the Monopoly game? My best friend got his license early because we lived in the sticks and he worked on a farm, he drove a crappy beat up van that never had gas in it. We would take that POS full of people through the drive-thru while skipping school and get the max (10, but two trips around so 20 and able to use more Monopoly coupons the second time) cheeseburgers and whatever free Monopoly stuff we had from the last time we were there and sit and eat that trash for hours and get wasted (if we could talk some weird guy into buying us a 30 pack of Red Dog, and he could have two beers and keep the change of course) before football practice or whatever else we had to do that day. Hell no we don't want to "Super Size that", we gotta use that $0.76 to put enough gas in the van to get us wherever we were supposed to be and then home!
My starter jacket was the Cowboys. Couldn't tell you why lol. I also always remember Surge for some reason but it never gets mentioned in 90s convos. And forget the TV guide channel... I remember the TV guide books in the 90s lol.
I find it kind of crazy how different things are now compared to the 90's.
I just saw my entire childhood flash before my eyes; I didn't think expect to enjoy it so much, though.
Tamagotchi is back. My daughter has one. So crazy. She’s got all this crazy amazing tech and she loves feeding her little panda lol
that nickelodeon show you were trying to remember 9:39 was called "Legends of the Hidden Temple" :P
*Thumbnail win! I had that hornets jacket*
i still have my Raiders Starter jacket lol!!😹😹😹😹😹
Leon! Love you bud! Mrs. Lush.... I adore you. Keep being amazing
11:55 you always opened them the right way bro....😢😢😢😢
I can't remember perfectly correctly on this, but I think with those plastic blue-juice bottles, I think if you pinch the top nozzle sideways then it pops open? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, I do remember mostly getting frustrated as a kid and ripping the whole top off a lot.
“Grape Drank”that’s what Dave Chapelle was talkin bout 😂😂,,I never knew about the kook-aid twist offs being a straw,WOW!!,TY soooo much for the memories 🥹🥹& you 2 just being you😇shout out to little Lush🤘,✌🏻💕from Fla.😎
Remember the Secret Sender? It was a messaging device that could send messages to someone else that had one. For some reason it also had a tv remote on it lol. I used to turn the TV on in school and when the teacher would go to turn it off, i would turn it off. They didnt know what the hell was happening.
My push lighter still works in my car. 2004 smart car killing it!
We still have a woodgrain cassette holder full of cassettes that still play. We look after our stuff in this house!
Where were the POGS damnit?!
We had Laser Disk movies growing up! Flash back!
9:40 legend of the hidden Temple!
Ty for the amazon dox, will come with ghifts ❤
80’s baby 90’s made me……
I don't remember anyone having their own laser disk at home, but I remember it being very much a classroom thing. Schools were heavily invested into laser disk.
Or maybe it was more of a middle/upper class thing. Everyone I knew was poor.
Yes, I had the Hornets pullover starter jacket and it was definitely because I loved the colors.
10 cents a text n 25 cents for pictures wen those started being a thing
I had THAT Hornets one!!! OMG!!
