    I’ll give you Bawls and Pixie Sticks as for wannabe edgy kids, but DDR was mostly otaku and otaku adjacent.

    Also I introduced my friend group to Donnie Darko and American History X and it gave me remarkable street cred lol All of a sudden I was “the movie guy”

    Just a little after my teen years, but HTF and Bawls (grabbed while in the checkout line at Fry’s Electronics) bring up some memories. And… is that Pixie Stix? If so, the 60s through the 90s would like a word.

      It’s definitely missing Gir and the Blink-182 Self Titled album logo.

      Actually if we wanted to be pedantic, (and why else are we here?) we could argue this is too wide a spread and encompasses multiple mini-generations. For example I loved MSI and Foamy and Tenacious D, but I was already in high school when Pick of Destiny came out and likewise I hated Happy Tree Friends as I felt it was both awful and mostly for younger kids (who shouldn’t have been watching it, but it beats rotten.com and some of the other early Internet stuff they missed the boat on, but I digress…) This covers a wide spread of the early and mid to late 2000s and that doesn’t seem like much from an outside perspective but this was back when years felt a proper length.

      They’re just another HFCS drink now, I don’t think the bottles are even glass anymore.

        I partly want it for the drink, but I mostly want it for the nostalgia. I’ve got fond memories of sharing that drink with a high school friend that passed away. If I get ahold of a bottle, I’ll be cheers-ing to him, even if it’s plastic.

        Looks like the closest retailer is 45 minutes away from me. Not really worth a trip for, and I wouldn’t trust mailing to my address (people steal packages around here.)

        But ah well, thank you anyway! Hopefully others can benefit from your link as well.

    It’s time for you to wake up, and take me, to the baggle shop, for a baggle with cream cheese, that creamy creamy cheese, OR FACE MY SQUIRRELY RATH!

    I do have squirrely wrath you know. It’s one of those, hidden nature things.

    I haven’t been in a while, but a couple years ago, you could still find Bawls at Microcenter of all places.

      Yeah they still carry it. I pick one up for nostalgia purposes every now and then if I’m there
