1) Slap Bracelets…a way to entertain yourself for hours (p.s. check out why they were banned)
2) Batman/Barbie cereal…not gonna lie, breakfast became a little more exciting
3) Michael Jackson: pre-pedophile days
4) High top sneakers in any color imaginable…literally
5) Side pony tails and tying shirts into a knot…CLEARLY needs to come back in style
80’s pop culture: fun, yet so easy to make fun of 
5. The Berlin Wall - It’s so hard to tell east Germans from west Germans these days. We used to have a system, and it worked.
4. Kindergarten - If only my work day could still be a half day where I just color any play all day.
3. The De Lorean - They don’t make enough stainless steel bodied, gullwing cars these days.
2. The Apple IIe - You gotta love the 5 1/4 floppy drive and the green monitor…Plus, this baby gave us “The Oregon Trail.”
1. Ronald Reagan - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm…tax cuts for the rich….
5. Cheers - A life goal is to still find a bar where everyone cheers my name like Norm
4. Burma - You may know it as Myanmar, but it will always be Burma to me.
3. Bill Buckner - You know, when he was known for things other than that.
2. Street Fighter 2 - First game I was ever addicted to. Damn you E. Honda!!
1. Movie Montages - They just don’t make them like they used to (see: Top Gun, Rocky, Breakfast Club, Cocktail, Short Circuit)
Its tough to pick out what I miss about the 80s. When 1990 came around I was only 7.
5) Nick Game Shows - Double Dare, Finders Keepers. Along with the early 90s ones I can spend all day watching Nick GAS.
4) Baseball Mustaches - I only got to relive this in baseball cards. The 80s mustaches were the coolest.
3) Terrible TV Shows I Watched All the Time - Alf, Small Wonder, and Silver Spoons all come to mind. I wanted to be the Silver Spoons kid, he had all those great toys and a train INSIDE THE HOUSE!
2) USSR - Not so much since there was all that Cold War stuff. I just enjoy the sports rivalry. The Olympics must have been so much better when we were trying to defeat an evil empire.
1) Awesome Movie Soundtracks - While Top Gun may not be one of my favorite movies the music throughout is top notch.
Another tough one to draw the line between what is considered the 80’s and possibly went a little into the 90’s. Also tough, cause I don’t remember so much of the 80’s.
5) Great movie sequels. It may be just me, but I feel like there aren’t as many great movie sequels as there were in the 80’s.
4) 80’s rock music - Like Ahad, I miss this as well. You had Def Leppard, Metallica, Foreigner, White Snake, Journey, Eagles, Bon Jovi, etc…I mean seriously, I grew up on this stuff.
3) Like Dave, my vote here is for the De Lorean. I wanted one from the day I saw Back to the Future.
2) Michael Jackson - It may be a surprise, but I was obsessed with him and the whole Jackson family. I nearly had every one of his songs memorized and the dancing he did in the 80’s was just classic stuff
1) MacGyver - I very much wanted to be him and it was a big day when I got my first swiss army knife
Seeing as how I believe I am older than everyone else that posts on hear, you would think that I remember/miss more things about the 80’s. That would be an incorrect assumption. After much consideration I can only really provide 3 solid things rather than the usual 5. Feel free to criticize, but I am going for quality not quantity.
3. 80’s rock music - It doesn’t get much better than Def Leppard.
2. Knight Rider - Forget Baywatch, this is where Hasselhoff became a star. He made showing off the chest hair cool.
1. The A-Team - Greatest show ever.
