From Orkut to Fantom cigarette to Walkman: Top 10 things that can leave any 90s kid feeling nostalgic

1. Before smartphones and OTT platforms, 90s kids relied on Walkmans to carry their favorite music. These cassette players allowed hours of listening, but limited by battery life or tangled tapes.

2. Phantom cigarettes were a popular trend among 90s kids. These candy sticks resembled real cigarettes and were a fun way to pretend smoking without any actual tobacco.

3. Geometry boxes were a staple in every 90s kid's schoolbag. These metallic cases contained essential tools like a compass, divider, ruler, and protractor. Losing the compass often resulted in a major headache.

4. Trump cards were a competitive game that transformed trivial comparisons into thrilling contests. Participants would pick a category, compare numbers, and the card with the highest score emerged victorious.

5. Orkut, the precursor to Facebook and Instagram, was the first social media platform for many 90s kids. Sending scraps, collecting testimonials, and checking profile scraps formed a daily routine for users.

6. Landlines were a common fixture in 90s households, while mobile phones slowly began to appear. The Nokia 3310, known for its durability, was a favorite among children who played the Snake game on it.

7. Big Babool, a pink chewing gum, was a favorite among 90s kids. The sweet treat promised the creation of huge bubbles, and its colorful wrappers and delightful smell made it a hit among school-goers.

8. Floppy disks were the primary method of storing computer files, projects, and presentations before USB drives and cloud storage became commonplace. These square-shaped disks were used in early computers for data storage.

9. The yo-yo was a simple yet engaging toy for 90s children. Mastering tricks, practicing tirelessly, and even competing with friends were all part of the yo-yo craze.

10. The iconic Bajaj Chetak symbolized mobility and freedom for many Indian families. This motorcycle was a reliable mode of transportation for school trips, market runs, and weekend adventures, often hosting the entire family on its compact frame.
