You Know You Are Old When...

Tyson Ritter:

You know you're old when you say 'Cowabunga' and people(younger) look at you funny.
And when you know that Mikey, Don, Leo and Ralph were once Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael.

ARE THEY NOT STILL LEONARDO, MICHELANGELO, DONATELLO, AND RAPHAEL?!

You know you're old when you remember when Baby Bottle Pop came out.
And if you remember when Push-Up Pops were insanely popular.
And CD players first being portable and Walkmans...Walk....men. Whatever, they're old school iPods.

And you remember Blue's Clues with STEVE, not Joe.
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.
Ducktales.
Darkwing Duck.
Gargoyles.

Hey Arnold.
Ahh! Real Monsters.
The Wild Thornberries.
As Told By Ginger.
Rocket Power.
Jelly sandals.
"whateverrr", "Totally tubular", "as if", "...not!"
"Girls rule, boys drool!"
The sour candy craze.
Band-Aid gum.
3-D Doritos.

All of this. All of this. All of this.

When you remember hearing pretty much every song from the "Top Songs from the 90s" countdown on the radio when they were first released.

Oh yeah.
That happened to me not too long ago.

When you mention Aaron Carter and your sister goes, "Who's that?"
and then you sing her Candy and you find you remember all the words
