I actually looked up an old Sony AM/FM radio and it was asking 200 bucks for it. WTH. Last time I saw it in the store it was 20 bucks. How can obsolete electronics go for so much?
It was basically just a semi-slimy non-Newtonian fluid that was marketed as being a source of irreverent fun for kids. The [commercials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR3PZTRxHDU) certainly tried to push that perspective, at any rate… but whenever you tried to actually play with it, you’d inevitably wind up being sent to your room while your mother muttered something like “How did it get on the *ceiling?!*”
It also dried up if you so much as whispered the word “sunlight” to it, and the suggestion that it could be resurrected by dumping water on it only ever resulted it a tacky, paste-like sludge.
That is THE most ungodly awful alarm in the world… my brothers had one when they were younger. Super loud and super annoying yet, somehow, they would sleep through it??
By best friend got one for Christmas when he was kindergarten. I remember being so jealous of him bc my dad wouldn’t get me one. This has been locked away at the back of my mind for almost 2 decades. You unlocked nostalgia that I forgot even existed
NO WAY! I woke up to that exact clock for YEARS while I was in elementary school. I can literally still hear that “wacky” alarm clock sound and see the green light up part. That thing was so obnoxious! I can’t believe how long I let myself start my day to such a terrible noise.
😂
I had one too! The real question is though, which alarm noise did you all use? I went between the bugle and the “Nick nick nick nicknick nick nick…NICKLEODEONNNNN!”
My father has that exact alarm clock! It still works and I love the sound it makes when the alarm turns on. “Nicknicknick na nicknicknick, NICKELODEON!”
Lol I remember seeing that for free at a garage sale in 2008

God, we used to live in much more fun and creative times…😕
I had one of those. I remember it having really loud obnoxious alarms.
My brother had this alarm clock! I remember playing with it like it was a toy. Easily amused.
Remember gak?

The ’90s were weird, man.
They do like to sell us our childhood
The 90s were sick
That’s a good deal
I woke up to this alarm for a decade
I am 48 and still have that alarm clock…

This picture switched something in my brain that I totally forgot about. I had one!!!
I have PTSD from waking up to that thing. I can still hear it…

Seeing this reminds me of Nickelodeon’s Splat City from when I was young, I think it was at King’s Island.
I could do way more with 75 but neat
i suddenly need to go look for the iCarly mousepad i stole from my ex brb
90s Nickelodeon color scheme was so much fun

Bruh this thing has been sitting in my moms Gary’s for years and it’s worth 75$ lmao
My brother had that clock. That clock has this great feature that when the alarm went off… It keeps going until someone silenced it.
So if you leave before your alarm goes off… It just keeps going off for others in the house to be able to enjoy.
For hours.
Upon hours.
It just keeps going.
And going.
Forever.
Some say it’s still going to this very day.
Man did my parents regret buying me this as a kid.
