Things from your childhood

I was looking at onceuponawin.com and kept thinking "OMG I remember that!" next thing I know I was watching Hey Arnold on youtube.
So what are somenostalgic things you remember from your childhood?
I figured this would be kind of interesting because we're definitely not all the same ages :) 


My list would probably have to be:
The Sega Genesis
Rugrats!
Hey Arnold
Sticker books
Choose your own adventure books
Furbies
LEGOS! I was always jealous of my brother because of all the legos he had :P
Pop rocks
Slap bracelets
Lite Brites!
There's more I can't think of but I'm sure others can think of a lot more.

While I wasn't smoking at the time, I do remember at least one newsagent selling individual cigarettes @ 7-8p each. And Sherbet Fountains were encased in paper... Oh and ring-pulls actually came off the can, they were all over the streets.
