18 Of The Most Popular Things That People Born In The 90s Absolutely Obsessed Over

We've seen many different posts like this one, where we go through various things that someone born in a certain era would have been obsessed with. Basically, we're looking into the popular items from specific time periods such as the 80s, 90s, or 2000s.

We love doing these types of articles because they really take us on a blast from the past when we look at all of these popular things. Today, we are focusing on the 90s era and what people born in the 90s were probably obsessed with.

We'll be discussing books, cards, and toys that people from the 90s loved or may have known someone else who loved them. It's crazy to see the trends and just how different things are nowadays compared to when we were children.

Some of these items you may have never even heard of, some you may know but perhaps weren't obsessed with, and some you are sure to have been obsessed with at some point in your life. We thought it would be fun to share 18 of these awesome things you might remember from the 90s.

Let's dive in and see what people like you and I were obsessing over during the 90s and early 2000s.

1. Harry Potter Books

Harry Potter books were definitely a big deal in the 90s, and people were constantly trying to avoid spoilers from others at school.
