    Stickers with crap, horrible chewing gum, I had loads of the Batman movie ones, and then the Simpsons cards where you could make a big picture of Springfield crazy golf course on the reverse if you matched them up.

    stuff like the Marvel Secret Wars stickers.

    Nintendo games, the NES was a thing of ugly 80's design beauty, blowing in the carts to make them work.

    It must have been around the mid 80s....my dad bought a video recorder, We thought it was the greatest invention ever. Just imagine... being able to look at RTE1 and being able to record any old sh!te that happened to be on RTE2 at the same time !

    Nostalgia forms your future.

    The joy of watching Ghostbusters or Jurassic Park.

    Occasionally they'd show a biscuit or choc ice production line - that was class. Rare though.
