To the person that recorded this you have no idea how many people out there you have made smile or cry getting to relive these moments again can’t believe how fast these times have flown by they really were better times
Federal minimum wage is only $3 more today than in 1991. Think about the prices of stuff you see in this video compared to now. And then think how little we earn compared to then. The 90's was a time where things shifted and it started to take two people to work to afford a home. Now it takes a lot more than just that.
Seeing a whole wall of ninja turtles brings back great memories. Also, there was no better joy for me as a kid then seeing a video game slip in the sleeve, meaning that they had it still in stock, taking the slip out of the sleeve, and walking up to the counter, when your parents told you that you could get a game! Great times
My relatives always bought me the wwf figure toys (hulk hogan, macho Man, ultimate warrior etc) at toys r us in the 90s. This store was like Disneyland for kids.
Back when we had to drive out to buy videogames... today we just download them and save a lot of time not having to drive out, browse a store, etc. And what do we do with all this extra time we now save? Scroll through social media endlessly. Our lives have become more convenient but the quality of our existence hasn't improved much.
If only we could go back to this! I would’ve been 8 at the time. Those toys r us trips are some great memories! Look how many toys there were. Toys barely take up a few aisles now.
50 dollar video games in 1991. That's similar to around 113 dollars today. Outrageous! I forgot just how expensive gaming was back then. Thank a parent if they were buying you these games back then, because it wasn't cheap!
This brought back great memories. Me , and my stepbrother used to go to Toys R' Us every Saturday with my stepfather to pick out toys. I miss the good old days.
It's a shame that when we are having the time of our lives, we don't know it until it's over.

These poor parents - struggling to remember which Turtles toys they already bought.
I LOVED watching this! Tremendous thank you to whoever took this back then. So grateful to see!
That feeling being in a Toys R Us as a kid is indescribable
See the difference of people back then , you put a camera on there face they smile, you do that today, they want to ripp your head off!!!
My generation had it all…. Born in the 70s and grew up in the 80s and 90s😎

truly sad most kids will never understand the joys of running into a toy store!

Omg the Barbie aisle! I miss an entire aisle covered in pink! This takes me back. I got to be five years old again for a few minutes. Thank you!
feels like the closest thing to time travel
Seeing entire aisles dedicated to one type of toy, it’s a bygone era for sure. I’m sad kids these days don’t have huge toy stores to get lost in

Just watching this, even the store smell comes back. Some memories just take you back to most of the senses.
Something about those old lego foldover-reveal style boxes feels so right.
