22 People, Places, And Things That Were Everywhere In 1994 But You'd Be Hard Pressed To Find In 2024

Recently, u/FlintTheDad asked the r/AskReddit Community "What existed in 1994 but not in 2024?" The answers are super fascinating and thought-provoking. So here are 22 people, places, and things that you mighttttt just remember, depending on your age:

1. "Movie rental stores."

2. "Made in Hong Kong."

3. "Being able to be completely unreachable as soon as you left your house."

4. "World War I Veterans."

5. "The Montreal Expos."

6. "The Seattle SuperSonics."

7. "The Hartford Whalers."

8. "The smoking section in the high school I attended."

9. "Mir Space Station"

10. "Netscape."

11. "Public telephones."

12. "Phone books."

13. "The ability [for Americans] to go to Canada without a passport."

14. "Concert goers without cell phones."

15. "$1 menus at fast food places."

16. "Toys 'R' Us."

17. "Kids playing outside 'until the street lights come on'."

18. "Wendy's salad bar."

19. "The phrase 'get off the internet. I need to use the phone.'"

20. "Tower Records and large vinyl stores."

21. "Socialising without putting a metric on it."

22. "Steak and Ale Restaurants"

So, did these bring you back or leave you scratching your head? Anything else from the 90s that has ceased to exist? Let me know in the comments!

I, for one, can't imagine having had a smoking section at my high school.
