Back in the '90s, life was so simple. One could do almost anything they wanted, without having any repercussions. From eating Dunkaroos as a morning snack to playing outside unattended until the streetlights came on, the '90s were a time of supreme bliss. Fast forward almost two decades since the end of that incredible era and while there are things that are still appreciated from then, there are plenty of things that you got away with in the '90s that you'd never let your kid get away with today.
I often flashback to the things that my siblings and I did and I instantly consider the repercussions that could happen if done today. Although we weren't bad children, things have definitely changed in what children can be exposed to. I recall my mom letting my sister, me, and our cousin hang out at the mall or go to the movies by ourselves when I was only 10 years old. The worries were a less intense and our ability to follow my mother's rules was increased. Need a reminder of a few things that you did in the '90s that probably wouldn't fly today? Check out these nine things that'll help refresh your memory.
