Holy smokes... that was a flash back!

I lost count. :D (I stopped counting when I hit about 30 or so things I recognized.)

I was an 80s girl until about the mid '90s, really.

:eek:
 
hmmm....I got 27. Guess I know I'm a product of the 80's!

Is that a good or bad thing?

I can remember all but like 2 things on that list....but remember Fraggle Rock? Or Whitney Houston singing "How will I know?" or the movie Xanadu? I'm not sure on the spelling on that one, but I can remember practicing the dance moves for hours.
