This One Teen's Tweet About Burning CDs Will Honestly Ruin Your Day

By Tanya
All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

10 Things Our Grandparents Taught Us When We Were Growing Up That We'll Never Forget

By Tanya
When it comes to family members, there are few people who are as universally awesome as grandparents.Sure, aunts are awesome, uncles are great, and there are always some pretty excellent cousins, but a grandparent is unlike any of the rest. Those who grew up near their grandparents are obviously the luckiest of them all, because they had this second set of parental figures to go to for advice. But instead of forcing them to do chores or homework, they just fed them yummy snacks and let them play. My Grammie, my sister and ITanya RuiterBeing a grandparent sounds like

With Sears Filing For Bankruptcy, Let's Never Forget How Amazing The Wish Book Was

By Tanya
If you celebrate Christmas, then you know that the most important and exciting day of the year is the one whenever your Sears Wish Book arrives. That's when you know that it's time to start writing out your Christmas list, comparing all the potential toys that you might consider. Pages and pages of Barbies, Lego, and board games to dream about, before writing them down on your letter to Santa. The Wish Book is one of those things that you never really stop looking at. You just keep on flipping through the pages any time you get bored, probably because

Toys 'R' Us Is Coming Back With A New Name, But Not Everyone Is Happy About It

By Tanya
Last week we learned that the lenders responsible for Toys 'R' Us had canceled their bankruptcy auction, meaning that they were planning on attempting a comeback. And already the company has revealed their new plans, but not everyone is happy about it. The Toys 'R' Us branding, including the name and mascots, were retained by the lenders. While the company couldn't make it work, the investors think they've figured out a way to make more money, and it involves bringing back the iconic giraffe. Geoffrey the Giraffe has been the Toys 'R' Us mascot for a long time, but now

Toys 'R' Us May Be Back In Business With Investors Planning A Revival

By Tanya
Remember how devastating it was just a few months ago when Toys 'R' Us filed for bankruptcy and shut all their doors in America? It was like a piece of our childhood had died and we could do nothing but sit and watch it happen. No more biking through the aisles, no more seeing walls of Lego sets, and no more setting off all of the noisy toys at once before running away. Sure, the employees hated us all, but it was a part of growing up, and it was sad to think that the children of the future wouldn't

Trix Cereal Is Finally Going Back To Their Classic Look And We Cannot Wait

By Tanya
Who else remembers eating a big ol' bowl full of Trix cereal in the morning before packing your lunch and heading off to school? Trix was the perfect cereal to eat, because a lot of us felt like we were tricking our parents into thinking it was healthy. Sure, we're eating sugary cereal, but it's fruit-flavored so obviously it's not as bad as Cocoa Puffs or something. Boy, were we wrong. Well, now we're all old enough not to care, we can eat sugary cereal if we want because guess what, cereal is delicious. But there's been one thing missing

The Original Tamagotchi Is Back So Now A Whole New Generation Can Fail At Keeping Them Alive

By Tanya
Who else remembers the first creature you were responsible taking care of? Sure, your family may have had a dog or a cat that you claimed you'd "walk every day" or "clean the litter box" but we all know you never did. Instead, all of us can thank our Tamagotchis for teaching us about responsibility. We learned very quickly that if we didn't take care of them properly they were going to die. It was a hard lesson to learn as a young kid, but we all managed it well. Whether it needed to be fed, played with, or put

15 Former Pizza Huts Now Trying (And Failing) To Be Something Else

By Tanya
We've said it before and we'll say it again, Pizza Hut is truly excellent. No, they aren't paying me to say that, but if they want to, I'm ready to make a deal. Back on track though, Pizza Hut has been around since 1958, and in their 60 year history they have managed to create quite the empire. Sure, a lot of other pizza places have come and gone in that time, and maybe they aren't as popular as they used to be, but Pizza Hut will always hold a special, pizza-shaped place in all of our hearts. If there

10 Things You Almost Miss Worrying About When You Go On Vacation

By Tanya
Sure, we all want to travel and visit new and exciting places, but there are always going to be those experiences from your past that you miss. We can't really recreate our former trips and memories, but we can revisit them. Even if it's not even a place, and instead it's a moment or a habit that you used to have when you traveled that has suddenly become irrelevant thanks to new technology. Don't get me wrong, having all of our needs taken care of by one device is absolutely ideal, but there are some nostalgic little things that we

7 Reasons Why None Of Us Will Ever Forget The Glorious Pizza Hut Experience

By Tanya
I don't know about you, but for me, Pizza Hut wasn't just a restaurant. Pizza Hut was a magical place that only existed when you got a straight-A report card or had a birthday. There wasn't a location nearby to my town, so going to Pizza Hut was an event. But I think that even those who went more often still know all about the power of the Hut. Going to Pizza Hut doesn't seem like it's as big of a deal anymore, if anything people tend to forget it exists. But those of us who know the truth and
