About Nostalgia Debates

Nothing gets a group talking faster than the stuff you loved as a kid. Dunkaroos, Tamagotchis, Saturday morning cartoons and Disney Channel originals all come with memories attached, and these cards make you choose which one to leave behind.

They are perfect for a reunion, a birthday with old friends or any night when someone says "remember when." Read the card out loud and watch everyone start telling stories before they even pick.

The cards cover Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, game shows, lunchbox snacks and the toys everyone begged for. Ask the youngest person at the table to guess what half of them even are.

Every post has the card, the case for each pick, our take and follow-up questions for round two. Tap the one you would cut, then send it to the friend who still has their Tamagotchi in a drawer.
