wow, I am so glad I was too young to be fully affected by the 80's, though I do miss the candies and tv. bonkers rocked, they tasted kinda like some starburst do and I even think they're selling them again.not to mention all my childhood cartoons that I really think they should be showing again (not re-making, cause when you do that you inevitably screw up something.

The 80's were the best! [img]smile.gif[/img] Perhaps, because I spent most of my "fun" years in the 80's, but the 80's still rocked!

Argh, the 80s - big hair and shoulder pads. Seems to me that the fashion aim was to make everyone look as if they were carrot-shaped. Ra-ra skirts and ruched shirts. Legwarmers. Wtf was that about?
I do remember getting my first CD player, in 1985. You couldn't get much on CD back then.
