Coolest 90s School Supplies

It's time for the lucky people to go back to school! I am not lucky, so I can only reminisce and offer to send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils. But if I were going supply shopping, here is what I would buy.

Trapper Keepers

Let's just get the obvious ones out of the way. I think mine had the New Kids? Or maybe it was...
Lisa Frank

Also file under: obviously.
Mr. Sketch Markers

I wonder whether the black licorice would be any more appealing now that I am a woman of refined tastes? (Joke! Still gross.)
Pipe Cleaners

Colorful drug paraphernalia! The stuff elementary school dreams are made of.
Geometers

These aren't that 90s except for the fact that I doubt kids are using them today.
Pencil Toppers

I actually think I had a Troll pencil topper, which is kind of horrifying. And then I know I bought a feather one at Claire's after Clueless happened. So yeah. Coolness abounds.
Scientific Calculator Covers

File under "Late 90s" and also "Total Geekdom."
Tamagotchis

We're moving into social capital here, but I'm fairly certain that some HomeEc class somewhere used Tamagotchi instead of those crying babies.
Lunchables

Food of the gods. (Also social capital, especially if you were packing the pizza variety.)
Capri Sun

Nectar of the gods.
Slap Bracelets

More social capital (for making friends.)
Disney Adventures subscription

For lunchtime conversation.
Pogs

For social dominance.
