Soap shoes. I’m a bit of a sonic the hedgehog fanatic and soap shoes were the shit in the 90s. These were shoes with special grooves On the bottom to let you grind on a rail. Sadly the company that made them originally no longer exists but other companies still make shoes for rail grinding.

I want more television and media to be in different Scandinavian languages. It’s such a shame to not use the fact that our languages are so close. There have been some projects over the last years, but it would be great to expand it. It could also help more people learn the other languages better through exposure
Addendum: I also want the game-show Bingo Banko to return
Turkey: I want political satire shows on TV to return. When I was a kid, there were such excellent satire shows that one could watch with the entire family. They were fun, tastefully done, clever, witty. These have completely vanished from existence with Erdoğan. Same with satire comic strips in newspapers.
Anime on TV
​
In the 90s most channels had animes. Today there are no animes aired for free on TV.
I miss turning on the TV and watch some random anime
Fun, physical challenge gameshows. I miss the simple joy of the times of the *Jeux sans frontiéres* and the *Juego de la oca*. We even stopped broadcasting *Fort Boyard* even though it still runs. The last one we had of our own was a very half-hearted version of the japanese *Brain Wall*, and it was just marketed to teens. We just had a very successeful *Taskmaster* version made, so maybe that revives the networks’ interest in such programming again.
For the Brussels crowd: Tram 90 between Rogier and Gare du Midi! 😉
Nah, but the Regional transport agencies pretty much all used to use little magnetic tickets and you’d need to put it in a little orange box to validate the ride. It was a very distinct *whoosh* then a *print print* then a *whoosh* sound.
They eventually got replaced by smart-cards and the boxes got sold off/recycled.
Would be lovely to see a few of them back as interactive art installations in the metro, just for a bit of nostalgia 🙂
