A few things from our childhoods that should stay in our childhoods

This post is sponsored by Nintendo, who is awesome for letting us do this.

The 80s and 90s were...quite a time. And so we cordially invite you to laugh with (at?) us as we depict some of the stuff we don't miss a bit. From the hell of cassette tapes to scrunchies to shoulder pads up to our ears, we had the best time bringing some of our least favorite aspects of the 80s and 90s to life (while totally humiliating ourselves and our kids) in this short video for our partner, Nintendo. Take a look and see if you can spot all 11! Of course there are a few things we're thrilled that are still around so we can share them with our kids today. Like Mario. Luigi. Princess Peach. Zelda. Whoo! As parents, we love that the Nintendo 2DS system plays any Nintendo 3DS games (what?!) in 2D. And hey, it's kind of cool to get the parenting cred in, knowing the ins and outs of one tech toy before our kids do.
