If you grew up in Lebanon in the '90s, you know how good we had it back then. We had it so good that we kinda feel bad for the kids nowadays. Well, because we definitely had it better. These 11 reasons prove why '90s Lebanese kids had it better than the 2000s.

1. Awesome traditions like manoushe + chips

2. Being handed mastic gum at your local mini-market because "no change"

3. Competitions were all about eating Master chips ... and keeping an inventory of these

4. Drinking Pepsi only meant one thing...

5. Eating a Picon sandwich was more like a hobby

6. Alongside a Bonjus … otherwise known as 'bonjeesi'

7. Dipping Gandour biscuits in tea made Saturdays so special

8. Making "bubbles" with Big Babol was a common activity

9. Finding Chupa Chups was not mission impossible

10. Waking up by the guy who delivers fresh milk to your doorstep was anything but annoying

11. 'Ghazel el benet' was not just colorful cotton candy
