On that topic: the Iowa telecom ad they would play all the time during Iowa State games with the phone and computer that went “I’m online and you’re ringing”
It was so stupid but I loved that ad
Nostalgia for the 90's and 00's

Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn for Sega.

Things I miss the most from that time:
-Guitar driven rock music being commercially viable/popular in youth culture
-No smart phones
-Ladies wearing low rise jeans instead of the high waisted mom jeans that are in now
-Monoculture. Nearly everyone had some shared awareness of pop culture. Now it's so segmented and niche.
-Related to monoculture, but one set of facts politically. In the 90's and 00's, political division was centered around debating the best solution. Now people can't even agree on basic reality from which to center a debate.
-College athletic conferences that made sense

I spent a ton of time there from 16-18. Arcade games, pool, underage drinking, fights, and Chi-Chi’s next door afterward.
Literally every generation since WWII has said this.
I had some pretty bad Godfathers pizza at the Omaha airport on Wednesday. Just saying.
Completely random and stream of consciousness at this moment:
1.) By far the most nostalgic, Longnecks of Pepsi in a 6-pack
2.) Folgers Commercials. Catchy jingle sang by different musicians....Rockapella themselves also VERY nostalgic for me
3.) Late 90s early 00s TGIF Fridays. Family would always watch TGIF on Friday nights...ALWAYS. Step-By-Step, Boy Meets World, Drew Carey Show, Two Guys...all weird shows that were terrific.

After you had been waiting 5 minutes for a picture of a hot chick to load on screen.
I think the Godfather's "Expresses" serve from a different recipe than the restaraunts! The crust at the restaurants is so much better!
I miss going to concerts where people are engaged with the music and the band/artist instead of just holding their phone up recording the whole show. Same with athletic games. Just enjoy the moment for yourself and the people around you.
We were never really a godfather’s family.
That being said, I think a lot of it is being a kid and loving pizza, and nostalgia.
Because while I still like dominos, in my head it tasted so much better in college when I would have it late at night with friends. But I didn’t go to college that long ago and I was sober when I had it, so it wasn’t like they changed recipes/it was the alcohol talking
My roommate at ISU drank Zima. This you, Jeff?
No, but Jeff seems like a classy guy.
I'd pull the couch into the yard and kick back a few Zimas with Jeff anytime

There are 3 things I really miss.
1. Sit down Pizza hut. There was nothing better than a deep dish supreme fresh out of the oven.
2. Arcade machines. What I wouldn't give to find someplace that still has Ivan "Ironman" Stuart off-road.
3. Chili Cheese burritos from Taco Bell. They're still around but I don't think every store has them.

those are nothing like the brick and mortar locations. absolutely nothing alike.
Napster downloads came along almost immediately after Netscape Navigator made it possible, Red Dog and other ice beers, CDs still came in the long boxes, everyone on campus was wearing a leather bomber jacket and wanted the long sleeve ISU knit polo shirts that the guys who gave the campus tours were wearing.
But most of all, the 90's were tied to the emergency of grunge and alternative music, and the resurgence of country music radio.
