A wave of nostalgia has recently been unleashed on Twitter with a trending “IWishTheyStillMade” hashtag, as netizens were jointly mourning things that have disappeared from our lives.
While different foods that are no longer produced seem to have become a primary focus of the trend, some unexpected things like “coloured toilet paper”, “philosophical points” or even squirmles toys have also been missed by Twitter users.

Many people were proudly reminiscent of different TV shows, cartoons and music groups, but some netizens could not help but point out that they regretted no longer seeing famous people with “talent” or politically incorrect movies with “macho leading men”.
