A Hashtag About All Things ’90s In Saudi Is Trending And People Couldn’t Feel More Nostalgic

I’m sure everyone can agree on the fact that there’s no better feeling of reminiscence than that of nostalgia. Nostalgia is, in essence, akin to music- in the way that it’s been felt or experienced by every individual on this planet.

And everyone that has experienced a memory from their younger years, may it be from a chocolate bar or a Disney film you loved- knows that once you take that stroll down memory lane, you keep on going.

That’s what our fellow Saudis did on the social media platform, Twitter, today.

A hashtag called #زمن_الطيبين allowed for a public platform wherein thousands of users shared memories from their childhood, during the prime of the ’90s in Saudi Arabia.

If you or someone you know grew up in the Kingdom between the late ’80s- early 2000s, then some of these tweets should bare some remembrance.

1. For instance, who could forget the adventures of Heidi?

Or consume the same snack she was often found enjoying, bread and cheese.

2. All your snacks, at some point, were accompanied by this juice. Don’t even deny it, bro.
