i found this account on instagram where it showed a lot of nostalgic stuff and it made me think a lot about my childhood. 2003 kids were kinda late to the 2000s party but at least we made the cut. people in our age group probably remember this stuff from 2007-2013

here are some things:

1. the music. the pop ones were futuristic and the rap ones were so funny.

2. flip phones/slide phones. Sad they lasted for such a short time

3. Gameboys and Ds’s. kids on the bus would always play this on the way to school, made us more connected and its sad the kids now just have iphones. Some of the best games at the time were any Mario game, Cooking Mama, and Pokemon games. 1o years fast forward and kids play or do fortnite dances

4. the old CN logo, really legendary, the shows were comedic, animations were good, and much less cringey than they are now. best shows were Teen Titans, Regular show and and Ed Edd’n Eddy.

5. the old nickelodeon logo. again, much better and less cringey than the shows now. some of the best on there were Drake and Josh, iCarly, Danny Phantom, Zoey101 and Big Time Rush

6. chick-fil a meals

this was the best i could find online. the bag didnt look like this exactly, but i remember that chickfil a used to write games and recipes inside their bags and in 1st grade me and my friend tried one of the recipes, it had something to do with pineapples…

7. bakugan toys

i don’t remember much but they were really popular in elementary school. i remember my brother got this exact one.

8. pokemon trading cards

i felt like every boy has got this. they were more popular than the bakugan toys and they were made a big deal.

9. silly bandz

of course who didn’t get these! its sad they got banned in 2010.. i think. or was that in Canada

10. shock gum

this was like a prank thing for april fools. i think they came around in 2011

thats all i have.
