Though Sega is known strictly as a software provider now, the company came to mainstream prominence in the U.S. No matter which model you go for, you can enjoy all the perks of having a pet without any of the responsibility.īuy it: Amazon ( Tamagotchi Original, Tamagotchi On) 2.
If you really want to relive that vintage flavor, though, you can still find authentic models from the '90s from third-party sellers on Amazon. If that sounds exhausting, don’t worry: the company also puts out the Tamagotchi Original ( $17), which faithfully recreates the original 1997 version you remember from childhood, complete with the same sound effects, black-and-white pixel display, and poop-scooping tasks.
Instead of just looking after your pet’s health, the new full-color Tamagotchi On ( $70) model allows you to bring your digital companion shopping, help it make friends, get married, and even start a family. But in the digital age, they’re a bit more sophisticated. I’m Still waiting on the return of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Froyo, Ben and Jerry.Even though they’ve been around for more than 20 years, Tamagotchis are still everyone’s favorite virtual pet. Crystal Pepsi also jumped on the nostalgia bandwagon with its return this summer. However, I totally support brands bringing back popular items that have previously been discontinued.
I’ll be the first to admit these aren’t my go-to M&M flavor of choice.

Not much has made me happier than the comeback of the best-selling boy band of all time. While I would love to list them all, here are some of my favorites. There are many ways brands and companies are using the past to influence us in the present. If a brand can garner positive feelings from a consumer that can then be directly attributed to their brand, their mission is accomplished. Nostalgia marketing leverages our natural emotional connection to the past to induce what I like to call “the feels,” bringing us back to happy memories from our past. A tactic that, might I add, has worked its magic on me more than a few times. While the second coming of the ’90s may seem like it’s just a pleasant coincidence to some, nostalgia marketing is very much an intentional tactic. Britney Spears performing at the VMAs for the first time in nine years? Definitely watched it. This summer’s choker necklace comeback? Definitely embraced it. So over the past couple of years, I’ve obviously been overjoyed by the return of cultural gems from my childhood.
