Life in the 21st century is pretty much constantly being bombarded with things you want, but can't have. Unless you're Ariana Grande.
Today on Twitter, the hashtag #StrangeThingsToBringBack reminded me of many things that I want, but can't have. Not because I can't afford them, but because they literally aren't sold anymore. I'm not sure which one makes me angrier!!!
Here are some notable mentions:
1. Straws made out of literal cereal.
