OMGOMGOMG i got more and more excited as i scrolled down.
i had a squiggle wiggle! i drew with it in a little mermaid "tent" in my bedroom.
yes to the clear phone, full house books, old maid cards, scrunchies... that rabbit's foot looks like the one i owned! i had ONE polly pocket but i lost it. i never drank surge but my sister did. SOUND STORIES. GIGA PETS. (i had a tamagotchi, but still!) THOSE YELLOW ROLLER SKATES LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE ONES I OWNED. gak smelled bad. i always wanted one of those barbie jeeps but my parents thought they were a waste of money. i had a girl talk :P my mom would give me lunchables sometimes if i begged hard enough. the nesquik packaging where you used to have to use the back of the spoon to pry the metal circular lid to pry the container open... amazing! i remember when they switched to the plastic containers and it was easier but way less awesome. the little critter books were so cute. i had the christmas one.
I pulled most of them from imremembering.com, if you want to check it out. :) I got up to page 12, so I'm sure there's quite a bit more.
I just discovered that site today and went OMGOMGOMG
The RetroJunk site is okay for that stuff, too, but more complicated to navigate. As soon as I saw the Doodle Bear, I was like "...this is being posted NOW."
i'm so sharing that link on facebook! what's weird is that some of that stuff.... i feel like it is still manufactured... but maybe i haven't haven't been paying attention and it's been off the market for 15 years. like those tastetations candies.
the first time i had Surge, they were giving it away free at a Smashing Pumpkins concert. Now it's the best selling soft drink in Norway lol weird how it catches on in some places and not in others...
I had (or at least remember) almost all of these. The mcdonald's ice cream machine is still in the basement of my parents house. lol. I had an obsession with Lisa Frank (especially the stickers) into my teen years. lol
Oh, and some of those things still exist, though they look a bit different now. Doodle bears (one of my nieces had one), the fisher price skates (they have them in pink for girls, too), the sound books (Winter & Tucker have a bunch), My Little Pony (Winter's 2nd bday party was even My Little Pony), & Lisa Frank stuff.
Also, I had the 101 dalmations sound book (among others). And the Domino Rally set is in my parent's basement as well. ;)

I don't think Tastetations are still manufactured, though... it's just that they came out fairly recently, so they don't feel nostalgic.
