Everyone’s Talking About What Actual Strange Things They’d Bring Back From Childhood

Growing up, many of us probably had things that we loved, and that we miss now that they no longer exist. Remember green ketchup? I don’t miss that, but someone probably does. So, Twitter did what Twitter does best and started a new hashtag for #StrangeThingsToBringBack.

Filled with many items from generations past, one thing is very clear: We used to love really silly things. Not to sound like Arthur Weasley, but what was the purpose of silly bands? Just to take them off and say it looks like a zebra when it isn’t on our wrist? Still, though, so many of us want to remember the good ol’ days of weird gadgets and food.

But of course, many people thought back to Stranger Things, the show giving us all nostalgia for the ’80s, and thought that this hashtag was for it.

What strange thing would you bring back if you could? Let us know in the comments below!
