The post certainly struck a nerve with many followers as it picked up 745 comments in just a few hours.

Many were just happy to think back to their childhood days and the toys they played with.

One wrote: “The Tyco Rebound! I miss the days when that was all the entertainment I needed.”

‘The Atrum’ said: “This 100% and any WWF toys would be amazing to see, just toys in general!”

Another reminisced: “Used to circle what I wanted for Christmas in these bad boys.”

Things moved on to old-style, huge TVs, before the invention of the flat-screen versions.

‘AlphaAndOmega joked: “Weighing 3 tonnes with an 8 inch thick glass screen which could double as a ballistic shield.”

‘Bezdancing’ joined in with: “I love the old wood panelled tellys with the dial or big chunky push switches for swapping channels, they take me back to my childhood.”

The hi-tech gadgets of the day also got a mention as commentators remembered the delights of a CD changer.

‘SaC’ posted: “Is that a three-CD changer hi-fi I spot there? My brother got one for his 17th birthday in ’94. Looked like that one, but without a record player on the top.

“Edit: Damn, it’s a five CD version. The high life.”

Also coming up for discussion were the video games of the day, with the Mega Drive being a popular choice.

‘Dafman’ was quite tempted with the price tag, in those days, of £169.99.
