Growing up in the 2000s hits so different. These are the things that bring me nostalgia- food, movies, and TV shows.

Food
I remember having this for breakfast and splitting a pack with my siblings (and more normal oatmeal to a pack) and splitting the dinosaur eggs.
Quaker ® Instant Oatmeal - Dinosaur Eggs
I remember my mom buying one treat for us a week that could be split between my two siblings and me. One of these was Scooby Snacks! I even remember watching the Scooby-Doo TV shows and eating them
Betty Crocker Scooby-Doo! Fruit Flavoured Gummy Snacks
I will forever love these fries!!
McCain® Smiles® - Smiley Fries
Movies
This was by far my favourite Barbie movie! I had the Barbie dolls that sang their duet as well (shared with my sister). Such good memories!!
Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper (Video 2004)
This was my brother’s favourite movie as a kid. I will forever sing “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” as a vocal stim if I hear anything that reminds me of the movie.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)
TV shows
Loved watching this with my siblings! So innocent and imaginative!
Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs
I used to love Wonder pets and still have the theme song memorized. Love these old TV shows as they were not overstimulating. And also very educational!
Wonder Pets! (TV Series 2006–2016)
I remember loving and being scared of this movie. Love the plot, even though it made me never want to visit Australia when I was younger.

Toys
I remeber trading these on breaks during school! Loved these and collecting every animal
Silly Bandz
I loved playing with my Polly pockets, perfect for road trips and being able to store them in my pocket!

Webkinz was the best thing at one point. I remember having five plushies and creating rooms for them in my little online Webkinz house. I wish I still had my login to see what it looks like.
