If you were a schoolkid before the year 2000, you will undoubtedly remember it was a very different experience to your own children's. We take a look at 19 things that were common for Glasgow schoolchildren back in the 1990s.

During the '90s, the internet and mobile phones were not what we know today and the latest toy that would inevitably sell out in stores would be the talk of the classroom.

Wrapping your textbooks It might sound strange to some but wrapping your exercise books in wallpaper and wrapping paper definitely made lessons more fun back in the day. From photos of your favourite band to vibrant wrapping paper, it quickly became a competition with your class mates to see who had the most creative flare.

10p Freddos Long gone are the days when you could buy a Freddo for 10p from the tuck shop. The tiny chocolate bar tripled in price by 2017 to a cost of 30p. To play POGs, players would use a heavier game piece known as a slammer to send the opponents pieces flying. Any piece which landed face upwards went to that player and the person with the most POGs at the end of the game was the winner.

Turkey Twizzlers If you were at school in the nineties and early noughts you will remember tucking into a plate of Turkey Twizzlers alongside potato smiles and beans. Sadly, Bernard Matthews stopped making Turkey Twizzlers after they were excluded from school meals following a campaign by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver in a bid to make kids eat more healthily.

Playing huge games of hide and seek in the playground Hide and seek is a classic childhood game which still remains a firm favourite with children today. In the 90s the game provided endless fun for kids who often played in huge groups on the school field.
