Definitely one for the 90s girls. Dream Phone was the coolest fake dating game EVER. Like Guess Who, but with a giant bubblegum pink phone and a bunch of cheesy American high-school guys. You'd ring each boy, who'd give you bites of information about your secret admirer. The clues were absolutely hysterical: "He looks good in whatever he wears... BUT NOT YELLOW." And just take a look at the guy candy we had to play with.... Sweet baby Jesus. All aboard the dream boat: destination, nightmares. Imagine running into Mike and Carlos in a dark alley, with their terrifying sex-offender smiles. Another thing, Mike hangs out at High Tide Beach? Wearing a turtle neck jumper? Something's wrong. In hindsight, Dream Phone was an early educational device for teenage girls making PlentyOfFish accounts in years to come: not one of these guys is to be trusted. Gary's seriously groomed side parting screams sociopath and Phil definitely has his Mom buried in his back garden.
10. Floppy Hair
Not even sorry. Just look at Johnny Depp with his 90s-grunge 'do. DiCaprio's floppy hair parting in Titanic. Even Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys was fanciable with a fantastic set of blonde curtains decorating his scalp. Men of 2014- grow your hair, style some floppy locks, and you'll be dealing with an onslaught of lust from 90s-born women, guaranteed.
9. Talkboy
Thanks to Home Alone 2, Talkboy gained mass popularity in the 90s. It's astounding how such a limited piece of technology kept us so merrily entertained, when nowadays we're bored with new iPhone apps within about 12 minutes of playing them. Somehow though, this tape recorder was enough to feed our collective interest back then. Macaulay Culkin slows his voice recording to a deep adults voice in the movie: enabling him to check into a hotel. Pretty damn nifty. When this fictional toy eventually became reality, 90s kids went nuts.
