Pictures That People Born After 2000 Won’t Understand

If you grew up in the '90s, then you have a ton of memories of things that people probably won't ever worry about again.

If you missed the rise and fall of the Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears relationship, then we're sorry. From the moment they got together through months after breaking up, the media loved these two and so did the fans.

Not only did Gushers have strange commercials attempting to get kids to buy, but so did Capri Sun, Kool-Aid, and more. This one was out of this world because her head transformed into a giant watermelon.

Years later, gamers found out this trick doesn't work, but we swore by it in the '90s. Whenever your game would freeze, blowing on it was always to the go-to method.

While Netflix has a reboot of Sabrina, the original will always be a classic. Salem, the talking cat, was arguably the best part, but now, he isn't the same. Also, Melissa Joan Hart was sensational.

Nothing gets more foreign than this. A floppy disk is harder to lose than a USB key, but they became obsolete as computers started to advance. Still, it's hard to forget these because the save icon will always be made in their image.
