Well, ’tis Thursday! Which means, one more day closer to the weekend, as well as one more day for eeediyats on Instagram to throwback to a picture from yesterday! *shade*
But like our fellow followers on Instagram, we decided to take a page out of there book today, except actually throwback to things that have become….more or less outdated! Which #tbt do you remember?
Bmobile My Lime
What you used to be doing at 9pm back in the day? Well, if you’re like the rest of us, it sure as hell wasn’t sleeping like mummy and daddy thought! Adding 5 friends to your ‘Lime’ for free talk and text all night was probably the best ting since sliced bread. Back then, before Bmobile start with all its no service f_ckery, it facilitated many a ‘sweet talk’ with the lil boy/girlfriend you had…or even the juicy gossip sessions with yuh friends. And the next best thing about MyLime was, yuh friends were irreplaceable as f_ck! Sally jump out herself and get yuh vex? Send a text and in 24 hours Sally has been replaced by Janice quick quick.
MSN Messenger
Throwback to the times when 10 minutes before replying was a mandatory social rule, and you would sign in & out to get some attention from your crush. MSN was the place to be after school to keep up with all the social scenes or even for your occasional sh*t talk. But thank God this is a TBT, because yuh see ωяιтιηg уσυя ѕ¢яєєη ηαмє ℓιкє тнιѕ, straight down to the cantankerous Laughing Woman wink…I think we ALL needed an ease. *nudge*
Barrel mouth pants
Also known as Bell Bottoms, these type of pants coming with built-in air condition, fuss it have aeration! Lately, the only ones who can be seen sporting a Barrel Mouth jeans are either mommies or tanties. Otherwise, if you are seen wearing these unfashionable monstrosities, we cannot promise that you won’t end up in our next issue of Fashion F_ckups! Can anyone say, can’t touch this?
Ying clothes
Ever see a pants that made you wonder if it was a short, long-pants or a long, short-pants? Well welcome to the concept of ‘ying’. Ying pants were something schoolboys used to love to sport. Take their baggy khakis and have it tailored into balls-biting, ankle-grazing school pants. We guess before it was acceptable, but now, stop it with the ying clothes nah man. All you doing is looking like yuh machine home mash up and you had to borrow clothes from your baby cousin. And I’m sure you don’t want to be a victim of the “Yuh crossing river awa??” make out.
Disposable Kodak cameras
Before the selfie and the filters, there were disposable cameras. These were useful in the sense where it didn’t afford all those annoying girls the opportunity to say, “Omg ew I look disgusting, delete it and let’s take another one”. You snap, and however the picture take, it will develop JUST SO. These allowed for more candid pictures to be taken, but nowadays, with digital this and that, the definition of candid has changed from posed laughing pictures to posed ‘looking out into the distance’ photos….steups.
DVDs
Yessss man. Back when MovieZone was in its prime! Especially around SOE time. However, since the amazing discovery of online streaming, even cinemas are struggling to get the same business that they used to. No longer do we even think about DVDs, which we have to buy, when we can get the same sh_t quality with Chinese subtitles, and a man shadow walking across the screen, all for free. Now that DVD collection you once stacked proudly in your house, just serves as a massive dust collector.
