Randomly remembered when I played with Aquapets as a child, so I googled it for nostalgia. Now that I’m older, I noticed that the toy has a very phallic shape to it… so I guess eventually they changed the shape but decided to keep the theme in the names?
People used to say how 1998-1999 culture “didn’t feel truly 90s” and was proto-2000s. But now 1998-1999 culture is considered “the 90sest part of the 90s”. Interesting how perspectives changed over time.
