Publisher's Summary
Did you know that Pac-Man has the exact same plot as the second Hellraiser film? Do you know the connection between a cassette tape and a Biro? Were Love Hearts the 80s version of Tinder?
All these questions and more are answered as we meander through the cul-de-sacs and leafy boulevards of Memory Lane, discovering things like:
Were Funny Feet the ice cream version of those awful pink foam candy prawns?
Did we really have to wait a week to see the photographs we'd taken on holiday?
Did the little string hanging out of the back of your digital alarm clock actually pass as an aerial?
This tongue-in-cheek look at all the iconic, memorable, and not-so-great things we grew up with in the 1980s will make you laugh, cry, and possibly even re-evaluate your life choices. At the very least, it'll make you fire up ebay to go buy a vintage Mr. Frosty to see what you missed out on.
