41 Brutally Honest Moments People Realized They’re No Longer The Young Ones

Article created by: Greta Jaruševičiūtė

There’s nothing like a big glass of Yoo-hoo, Saturday morning cartoons and a red Game Boy Advance SP to instantly transport me back to childhood. Life was so simple back then. And as I yearned for the freedom that came with adulthood, I was completely ignorant of just how great I had it.

If you also find yourself wishing you could go back to the “good old days,” pandas, you’re not alone. And we’ve got a list down below that might have you feeling an overwhelming rush of nostalgia. We took a trip to the [Heck], I’m Old subreddit and gathered some of their most iconic photos below. So enjoy scrolling through these pics that might instantly trigger a thousand memories, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you miss the past!

And keep reading to find conversations with a moderator from [Heck, I'm Old] and Dave Fife, creator of Retro Injection!
