Things From 90s cost

We all grow up, all of us, we do. Kudos! You are no longer part of the “cooler” vintage if you have recently developed back discomfort. We didn’t grow up with touch-screen phones, and unnervingly stalking an infatuation on Instagram wasn’t even a thing. Therefore, bachpan ka pyaar wasn’t as accessible then.

Life was nice except for that. Additionally, every child of the 1990s enjoyed themselves, most often in the form of trendy foods or toys. It’s not easy to be the person who gets up knowing that there are no official summer vacation days for them, and to have one, is to cut it out off your medical leave. It’s no fun either to watch the Netflix shows where the high school kids are enjoying their day and you’re sitting around, thinking of excuses just to cancel an outing, because you’re so done with socializing.

Well, that is not a phase, transformation happens, and here is a list of things that are gonna make you feel it even more:

1. Glow In The Dark Stars

These must have adhered to the rafters if Delhi children are to see the constellations. And while I don’t want to spoil the excitement, they are now offering a bundle with five stars and a moon for Rs. 150.

2. Bubble Maker

Getting these for just 10 bucks, was the star of the show. Or sometimes even researching to know which shampoo is the best to make your own bubble. The starting pricing strategy is now no plus or minus Rs. 150 to Rs. 200 due to the wide variety of sorts and options available.

3. Phantom Sweet Cigarettes

They now fall under the category of unique pieces that we look for. And what surprises me the most is not the price but the reality that they were formerly offered for one rupee. They are priced at $10 for a bundle, not including the obligation to pay whatever the website or the retailer demands just because they are not made anymore.

5. Clear Bag Folders

Having this in your bag while going to school was the best feeling ever. It was like a potential dress-up game, where you were able to play the role of a teacher. It used to cost only 2 bucks, but now it is not that cheap anymore and costs anywhere between Rs. 30.

6. Multi Storage Pencil Box

Imagine the feeling where you used to stack the pens at the bottom of the layer and the nicer ones at the top. Yes, and getting those for 50 bucks when you score great at the test felt like a reward. But now the basic ones cost literally Rs. 500 and more, which is basically the reel version of us saying, ’30 thousand’?

7. Trump Cards

These stamps start out at roughly 400 bucks, and they are not even the priciest versions. Honestly, though? We are in opulent circumstances.

8. Flair Multi-Colour Ball Pen

Writing projects with these pens made us feel like the main character. They used to be easily available and cheap. But now they are neither, and the packet costs Rs. 100 and up.

9. Add Gel Pen

When we converted from graphite to ink, we began with one of those markers. And the cost of all that memories is now Rs. 40. I’m sure you do remember. It was among the decent options and the most used gel pens.

10. Beyblade

If you can recall collecting them, you undoubtedly can recall losing your scholarship. Since they are not even just the main figures, the thread and revolving contraption now probably costs Rs. 350.
