    Close enough. You can come in the club. There’s dunkaroos in the back if you’re hungry.

      Looks like there’s a box of YoYo Balls. Can I have a go?

        Oh for sure, those are a communal resource.

      I thought they discontinued dunkaroos, but then my wife came home with a box of them for my kids.

      I tried one (disgusting); I remember them being a lot better.

        Hard to tell if it is actually worse or a false memory, because they originally came out when garbage sugar-laced food science was really taking off targeting the younger demographic.

        They have 100% gotten worse. The quality of everything has dropped in the last 20+ years.

  I remember always wearing wrinkled shirts back then because I didn't care about ironing or society.

    I did that in the military. They were less keen and some shit hit some fans or whatever. So I got me some safety pins for my neckline and they shut the fuck up and my millennial self rejoiced.

  We are considered a microgeneration they have dubbed Xennials (1977-1983) Xennials 1977-1983

  Xennials are described as having had an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.

    I feel like a lot of people from different countries would fit that description after the fact since technology was more expensive and it took us longer to be able to afford the new and trendy items.
