    DUH, of course it was.

    Whether TV time was spent enjoying your Nacho Lunchables after school or inhaling some Cookie Crisp on Saturday mornings, watching Nickelodeon always meant one thing:

    Sure, why not.

    So those ads were a little off. But it comes with the territory, right? Nickelodeon was a weird channel back then.

    I am so confused right now.
