Used to play this in my grandmas basement. I'm sure the water was added during the Nixon Administration

There has to be somewhere I can still get one of these...for research purposes. Obviously.

Being "millennials" those born from early eighties to late nineties or early 2000s, we DO know the struggle.

man i hate how much people shit on millenials as if it's a remotely cohesive generation

9 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Well, we're a generation, like the others. But incredible scientific advance in a few years has made us a suspension instead of a solution.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Yeah, born in 82, I was never called the "millennial generation" until relatively recently. Now it's 80s, 90s, even early 00s. Meaningless.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

How can I say "my generation" when it's supposedly shared with 13-year-olds and I'm 34? There's a huge gap. *shrugs*

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

There are some similarities, though personality. Such as millenials being the first gen to really grow up with the computers and internet.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

but that was more the tail end of millenials, since it extends into the 80s they didn't really get the web until they were already adults

Brand name for brine shrimp. They survive a long time after dehydration. Come in packet you poor in water. Common novelty gift for kids.

I had sea monkeys for almost a year, changed their water religiously and everything, and then they got knocked off the window sill.

The way you said changed the water religiously I imagined bad water or bleach or vodka or something by accident

We had those when we were young. We had a lot of shit similar to that.

I had that exact one, I could probably did it out of my parents basement right now, and I'm 26.

Now you can play exactly the same game. As an app. Probably.

People just don't seem to realize that the millenial generation starts with people born in the early 80s.

And that toys, cartoons, etc, from back before 2000 didn't just up and vanish off the face of the Earth.

Yup, the millennial generation starts with people born in 1980.

Are people born in 2004 included?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Doesn't make much sense to me. People born in 04 haven't even come of age yet. Barely even puberty. It's a new generation. *shrugs*

I'm pretty sure millennials played with this.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

Millenials are classified as born between 1987 and 2000. Jsyk.

That's just weird. I'm 34 and in my same generation is a 16-year-old? Does not compute.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I was born in '87 and I played with one of those. Also, I looked it up and nobody actually agrees on when the "millenials" period started.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

True but most major studies and market reports count millennials from 1980-2000

I always assumed that the term referred to people who came of age at the millennium or after so born 1982 or later but I could be wrong.

I don't think people realize that millennials start with people born in the early 80s.

Yep, millenials are currently people ages 18 to 32. That's a whole generation and a reason as to why it's seems so bad to group them all.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yep, apparently I'm a millennial, but I grew up think we, the MTV generation, were Gen-Y.

Born in 1985, technically a millennial, I prefer the term Gen Y but whatever, it doesn't really matter

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Yeah I think they expanded it incorrectly. I thought you 80's peeps were gen Y and 90s + were millennials. Kids from the 80s know better imo

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

That would make more sense but alas the experts don't seem to think someone who's 37 is different from a kid that's 17.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Up to 34, which is bullshit. I am 32 and should not be grouped with those fuckers. I had an Atari god damn it!

I'm also in this hybrid, in-between category. The generations they've assigned and resulting generalizations are bullshit.

The fact that a label you don't have to give any weight to bothers you seems to say you should be grouped with them

It doesn't really bother me. Was joking, but based on the down votes, I apparently struck a nerve.
