Pretty sure anyone that went to a dentist office remembers these.
toothlessr2d2
The millennial generation is those currently between 18-36.
WorstShotEver
And now u have them on the iPad
FilmMagician
You will never know the definition of Millenial.
SaintsHaven
My God I hated that thing... I used to turn it over and try to get the rings hooked cause my thumbs would get tired, lol
Melanorosaurus
Millennial here, 29 years old, have had a few of these in my life.

Fffffft, fffffft, fffft, ffft, fffft, ffffffffffffffffffft... <- the sound of frustration
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Did everyone else's childhood dentist or doctor have one of these?
spacesickvenus
Used to play this in my grandmas basement. I'm sure the water was added during the Nixon Administration
PrincessCatBucket
There has to be somewhere I can still get one of these...for research purposes. Obviously.
leahloveslotr
I'm younger than the average millennial (born in 00) and I had one of these!
FutureHylian
@op how old are you?
Pozy
Anyone?
Iliketomakepeoplemad
Sitting at the dentist office.. these and higjlights magazines
BugEyedLemur
What the fuck do you mean? 26 here, owned one of those as a kid.
SpringToMyWinter
Feeling superior over something no one can control, like when they were born? That's a paddlin'
Draegos1
Hey, I think the OP was being tongue in cheek. Don't see any real hostility in OP's post.
ragingzealot
Apparently millennial just means stupid young person these days.
chilaquilesking
I think these only existed in dentist and doctor's offices
ScienceExperiment
We had those too you fruitcake.

BlackTT600
Millennial here, had one, also old enough to have a functioning family and career. How's hair metal treating you?
0ih469qy
Being "millennials" those born from early eighties to late nineties or early 2000s, we DO know the struggle.
Glumerlink
man i hate how much people shit on millenials as if it's a remotely cohesive generation
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.
SpecimenSpiff
Yeah, born in 82, I was never called the "millennial generation" until relatively recently. Now it's 80s, 90s, even early 00s. Meaningless.
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*
jddg5wa
There are some similarities, though personality. Such as millenials being the first gen to really grow up with the computers and internet.
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
You will enjoy this video then: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-HFwok9SlQQ

My little cousin killed my sea monkeys cause she mistakes them for one of these things
JarlPastrami
I love sea monkeys. They always died on me though
Neminess
Sea monkeys?
GaiusOrpheus
Brand name for brine shrimp. They survive a long time after dehydration. Come in packet you poor in water. Common novelty gift for kids.
Snooj
I had sea monkeys for almost a year, changed their water religiously and everything, and then they got knocked off the window sill.
kermie92
What did you think was going to happen? I'd eat them?
The way you said changed the water religiously I imagined bad water or bleach or vodka or something by accident
TheUnknownPioneerInHolmesianMindPalace
We had those when we were young. We had a lot of shit similar to that.
greentinroof
I had that exact one, I could probably did it out of my parents basement right now, and I'm 26.
youngmountaingoat
Now you can play exactly the same game. As an app. Probably.
GdSvThQn
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.
Fuck who wants to bet that op is a millenial but doesnt know it?
inkspeaker
I will take them odds.
asunderco
Yup, the millennial generation starts with people born in 1980.
BananaBard
Born in 200 and I played with that shit! It's not 90s and before toys
NeverWantedToButHereWeAre
1982 to 2004
GrammarPoliceSergeant
Are people born in 2004 included?
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*
CocktailGaming
I'm pretty sure millennials played with this.
frisbeeassault
Millenials are classified as born between 1987 and 2000. Jsyk.
hentaiprincessluvsimgur
Almost. 1980-2000.
thatonebitchontheinternet
Thank you
That's just weird. I'm 34 and in my same generation is a 16-year-old? Does not compute.
dannishadow
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.
True but most major studies and market reports count millennials from 1980-2000
Beruthiel10
I'm '96 and I loved these things growing up.
ShakeyGraves
Millennials are older than 20, do you understand that?
DoctorTheta
I'm not even 20 yet, and I know what that is.
TharrickLawson
I'm thirty fucking one and a millennial for fucks sake
BearDroid
Thanks! I was going to say it if no one else had.
IdunaWithLotsOfCats
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 was born in 2000 and I understand what that is AND I STILL GOT THEM IN MY HAPPY MEALS. THE WORLD DIDN'T CHANGE OVER NIGHT PEOPLE!
PortableWingWang
You are the last of the millenials as am I.
Fairytail15

Let me tell you the year of 9/11 was crazy times Oh and 2016....i remember it like it was yesterday

Sorry, couldn't quite hear you from all the way up on your high horse there.
ZacharyComstock
Get back to your job get of imgur
Ooooooh show them @ZacharyComstock!!
Tex926
The generation you are looking for is "Boomlets", "iGens" or Genaration Z, born after 1996.
moontree1
This kinda stuff didn't die out till the mid 2000s tho so pretty sure most of them remember this kinda shit as well
LadyLime
Yes! They're called the "iGeneration", but sadly that term won't pick up until the next decade or so.
Im willing to bet op is a millenial
erock111
Yup i had this game shit was hard!!!!
OtakuOtter
THANK YOU!
noodles7329
I thought the word millennial came from the melian dialogues and I spent ages trying to figure out the relation... I are not smart
I am over thirty and I'm technically a millennial.
Sevaceri
seriously i'm 29 and a Millennial. also fuck that game so glad i got a NES when i was a kid
[deleted]
You're so wrong it's funny
CorrectlyOperatedVagina
Unrelated but I love Shakey Graves! I discovered them via NPR Tiny Desk Concert!
gurltalk
Shaky Graves is an awesome band!
Thanks I love correctly operated vagina! I discovered them via alcohol and loose morals
Ha! I got the term from a post years ago but I honestly can't remember what it was lol
I'm going to use it as a compliment after sex right before I grab a gogurt and high five my dog
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.
davebeastly
Yep, apparently I'm a millennial, but I grew up think we, the MTV generation, were Gen-Y.
ckyorelse
Born in 1985, technically a millennial, I prefer the term Gen Y but whatever, it doesn't really matter
bsin21
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
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.
Bojovnik84
Up to 34, which is bullshit. I am 32 and should not be grouped with those fuckers. I had an Atari god damn it!
clutchthepearls
Sounds like you need a safe space, you over-sensitive millenial.
WhatRaySay
33 here... definitely feel a disconnect from both millennials and the gen-x folks... we're a weird hybrid breed or something
BobDresden
I'm also in this hybrid, in-between category. The generations they've assigned and resulting generalizations are bullshit.
vivianvixen
There's actually a name for us, but I forgot it. I remember thinking that it was a much better encapsulation of my age bracket.
/2 Old enough to remember a time before the internet, young enough for it to be a "native" technology.
Rogahar
Embrace it. Prove the stereotype wrong. I'm a 29 year old 'milennial' and damn near none of the bullshit applies to me either.
Aside from the debt, lack of job security, savings and pension, of course.
PhuckKnuckles
I'm 29 and have a house and good job security. Hopefully Trump doesn't do anything to change that.
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.
FragileReality
Lol, my sister rips millenials as pansies, when told she's included in the title she says it's a liberal conspiracy.
saleenowner
Same with my sister....
ChloePrice
Your sister sounds like an absolute fucktard.
Can confirm. Her version of foreign policy is 'nuke 'em.'
iusuallyrespondwithgifsoroffensivecomments
Seasonic
She sounds more like a millenial too me
letthestalkingbegin
She is one, that's why...
DailyShepherdPicture
Please for once and for all can someone clarify? I was born in 1995 and i have no idea what im supposed to be
Chronolatte
Millennial
RogueTampon
Don't worry about what generation term some bitter asshat tries to give you. Just do you.
I was just wondering. Posts like these confuse me cuz i know all of this stuff, mustve just had a fun childhood i guess
