Generation Y

As many of the Millennial generation, or Eco Boomers, are realizing, we had it great.
But the poor kids who are growing up now have it rough.

Instead of burying themselves in a mud whole, they bury themselves in Mommy's iPad.
Instead of watching Wile E. Coyote hunt the roadrunner (or hunting the coyote themselves) they're watching those creepy Yo-Gabba Gabba things and the guy with the orange fro do whatever they do.

It's honestly sad.

But! There is hope for the upcoming generation of tiny tikes.

I watch my share of television, and honestly, a lot of Spongebob. And I've seen tons of commercials for toys that I either had, or yelled "I want that!" to my mom when the commercial came on. I'm calling them throw-back toys for the simple fact that I'm 18. Nothing I grew up with is old enough to be called retro.

I've seen...

• Socker Boppers.
• Hungry Hungry Hippos.
• Doodle Bears.
• Baby Alive (The kind that you mix the food for).
• Elefun.
• Play-Dough Dentist.
• Play-Dough Ice Cream Shop.
• Easy Bake Oven.
• Aqua-Doodle.
• Whack-A-Mole.
• Crayola Crayon Maker.
• Color-Me Playhouses.
• Dr. Dreadful Gummy Candy Maker.
• Operation.
• Jenga (This came out before my time).
• Go-Go My Walkin' Pup.
• Don't Break The Ice.
• Trouble.

Welcome back, old friends. Welcome back.
