You know you're an aussie kid who grew up in the 90's if;

This next segment is dedicated to the 90’s, those innocent days of playing under the sprinkler in your cossies on a hot summer arvo with the neighbourhood kids.

I loved my childhood. I loved everything about it, so for those of you who were lucky enough to grow up in Australia at this time, hopefully I bring back some fond memories.

-Scrunchies, I had them in every colour, to match my neon outfits of course.
-Those infamous slap it bands, and them being banned from show and tell.

-Singing the songs of some ads like;
*PK has that freshness burst that refreshens your breath, PK.

-Getting excited and saving your allowance for when book club came around at the library, and you could buy all those cool things that werent even related to books?

-Putting your order into the tuckshop box on a brown bag with the money inside, and then someone would go and collect the whole classes box just before little lunch and big lunch?

-Going around to a mates place to play commander keen on an old DOS computer. AAhh commander keen was the shit.

Thank you for everyone who helped me compile this list, your help is greatly appreciated.

Doesn't seem like such a long time ago that instead of text msging we actually got on our bikes and rode to our friends house, instead of playing Xbox we actually played outside, willingly, and enjoyed ourselves.

The good old days.

Were we could be children, without fear of ever having to fight off a child predator, or be abducted by a child molester.

We were free and surrounded by innocence..

Seems like its was a long time ago afterall.
