25 Legendary Childhood Things That Have Disappeared From The World Today

There are a whole bunch of things that we used to enjoy as kids that are not around anymore. From the popular Tamagotchi games to blockbuster video rental shops, Redditors recently got together online to reminisce about things we used to take for granted, but are no longer available though remembering them sure does bring back a whole heap of nostalgia.
