An old Toys "R" Us bag in stuffed in the closet that usually stored something that wasn't a toy:
The Disney collector cups that were sold at Burger King and were the best cups to drink out of:
And the plastic Looney Tunes cups that always smelled a little mildewy because they were so hard to clean inside of:
A decorative potpourri bowl somewhere in the house that had been there forever and didn't even smell like anything anymore:
And Glade PlugIns when they used gel packets that would get all gooey and covered in dust:
Corn holders that half the time your parents forgot to pull out whenever you guys were eating corn on the cob:
The metal mattress frame with the wheels (why did it have wheels?) that you would either stub your toes on or hit the corner of with your lower shin:
A Rubbermaid laundry basket that your parents had since before you were born and was indestructible:
And the Rubbermaid plastic laundry hampers with the ventilation holes and were also indestructible:
Decorative olive oil and vinegar bottles infused with random things that your mom decorated the kitchen with but NEVER used:
And fake plastic grapes in a bowl in the dining room or kitchen that were always covered in a small layer of dust:
And these matching Tupperware storage containers in the pantry — and if TikTok existed back then, it would be all over organization and restocking Tok:
And this push-top Tupperware pitcher that always smelled like lemonade (even when it was clean) and gave every drink your family made in it a slight plasticky flavor:
Cordless phones that came with round shiny buttons that felt like you were pushing down on M&M's:
Softsoap hand soap with the animals on the packaging that was in every bathroom:
Bath oil beads in the bathroom that were purely decorative and nobody ever used:
And bath products gift sets in a basket that was still wrapped in the plastic it came in and was also used for decoration in the guest bathroom:
Heart-shaped organizers (with that rubbery coating) that were pretty impractical for drawers:
A copy of The Doctors Book of Home Remedies, which usually was in the kitchen among the cookbooks:
And a copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul on the bookshelf:
