items Who didn’t love the 80’s and 90’s?? Here are some of my favorite throwbacks from my childhood from toys to food and drinks that are currently still available.
Going back to the 90's with these staple Clearly Canadian drinks. Still as good as they were back then!!
Clearly Canadian Water in Beverages - Walmart.com
If you didn't have Jolly Good soda in your house in the 80's and 90's, I'm not sure you actually grew up in that era!! So good!!
Where To Buy-2 - - Jolly Good Soda
These were some of my favorite candies. I can find them now at Walmart and sometimes Dollar General. Orange Cream is my favorite!!
Creme Savers - Walmart
Hands down one of the best parts of growing up in the 80's was Garbage Pail Kids. If you want to get a gift for someone who grew up then, nothing will bring them back to the 80's like these things.
Garbage Pail Kids
I wonder how many of these we opened to read the comics in the 80's. You don't see gum come with comics these days!!
Bazooka Gum in Candy - Walmart.com
We always got these for Christmas as kids. The cherry flavor was always my favorite.
Life Savers 5 Flavors Christmas Hard Candy Storybook Gift Box, 6 Ct
Hands down my favorite treat of all time when I was younger. We used to buy these in bulk at the grocery store. There are more flavors now, but the original flavors taste the same.
Sour Patch Kids in Shop by Brand - Walmart.com
Care Bears are still as cute now as they were then. I think almost everyone I knew had one of these back then.
Care Bears
Rainbow Brite was another staple of the 80's. All my friends and I had Rainbow Brite.

I can literally still smell this hair spray. If you want your hair to stay in place for literally a week, this is your stuff!! All the 80's bangs were sponsored by Aqua Net!!
Aqua Net Extra Super Hold Hair Spray
Can you smell these?? I can!! We found these not long ago at a hockey rink of all places and bought about 6 of them. These were the best!!
Vintage Slider Tin • Lip Licking Lip Balm - Tinte Cosmetics
The Body Shop was one of those places in the 80's that you HAD to get your lotion from. They had the best body butters.
Body Butters
This is the first doll I remember having as a kid. I still have the adoption certificate for mine. Such a classic!!
Cabbage Patch Preemie
Not sure if my parents were the only ones that shopped at K-Mart, but Salon Selectives was my brand for most of my childhood!!
Salon Selectives Shampoo & Conditioner
Glass bottles of Coca-Cola!!! What is more 80's than that?? We always had Diet Coke in the glass bottle at my house. Will always taste better than canned soda.
Coke Glass Bottles - Walmart
This was like the precursor to the merry go round but for toddlers!! And kept us busy for hours.
Playskool Sit And Spin
By FAR, one of the most obnoxious toys of the 80's, and everyone had them!! Not sure if everyone hated their siblings and bought them for nieces/nephews or parents just weren't paying attention to the music we made.
Fisher-Price Classic Xylophone Pull Toy
Definitely the best boy toy of the 80's. My brothers had tons of these guys.
He-Man Toys in He-Man - Walmart.com
Pretty sure we spent everyday after school watching Thundercats. They were also the only other boy toys we had besides He-Man and G.I. Joe.
Thundercats
We didn't have this many flavors, but these were definitely part of our growing up candy.
Pop Rocks
Every. Single. Time. I got sick when I was little this was the soup my Mom made. It had the golden egg in it and was my absolute favorite!! Now I make it for my kids!!
Mrs. Grass Soup in Pantry - Walmart.com
This was one of my favorite toys when I was younger. Soft ball makes catching easier and the tail is great for those that aren’t so good at catching yet so they aren’t afraid of the ball. So pumped that it is still around.
