11 Things You Can Buy With '90s Sayings On Them

by Kat George

The best slang ever are the catchphrases of the '90s. "Fleek" and "bae" and all the things we say now have nothing on "whatever" and "as if". There are so many '90s phrases we should bring back, and we need to all make the concerted effort of bringing back the best slang of the '90s. Believe it or not, it can be done in a very chic way too, with independent designers, probably '90s kids themselves and now all grown up with that hankering nostalgia, have a whole range of cute products you can buy with your favorite '90s quotes on them.

So get ready to combine your two favorite things: shopping and the '90s, because it's time to treat yourself. Of course, remember to check yourself before you wreck yourself. Definitely don't have a cow, man. And always remember you're all that and a bag of chips. From slang you said in your day-to-day conversation, to the quotes that were absorbed into common vernacular from pop culture, there's something for everyone here. Because as it turns out, we never need to let go of the '90s (yes that's meant to be a Titanic reference). Here are 11 cool things you can buy today with your favorite '90s sayings on them.

1. This Awesome "Whatever Forever" Pin So You'll Always Be Able To Wear Your Feelings

2. A "How You Doin'" Card To Not-So-Subtly Woo The Apple Of Your Eye

Joey made "How you doin?" the funniest pickup line of the '90s. No one really took it seriously of course, but we said it all the time for a laugh. Now you can give this card to someone you like and keep the sleaze of the '90s alive, but in a super cute way!
