In the most '90s tale ever told, a rock idol misinterpreted some graffiti, created a hit song, and made a personal care item immensely popular with adolescent girls.

2. L'Oreal Kids shampoo

TBH, even though we're adult women who use adult-woman hair products (that also smell amazing), that Jolly Rancher scent is unbeatable.

3. Caboodles

Some say that, at midnight, every grade-school locker room in America comes alive with the sound of a thousand phantom spritzes.

In the second most '90s story ever told, Alexis Bledel modeled for an ad campaign wearing marabou-festooned raver buns and a green choker. And *that* is our saccharine, sparkly youth summed up in one image. #takemeback
