Boy Meets World’s seven-season run was classic from beginning to end. Cory Matthews represented the awkward adolescent in all of us, and Mr. Feeney represented the weird teacher that stalked us from middle school through college.

But seriously, is Topanga even a real name?

Before the days of power windows, you had to manually crank the windows down. On the upside, there were no child safety locks.

Does anyone out there still have hand-cranked car windows?

Brain Quest was a series of awesome, hyper-popular flashcards for kids. According to Wikipedia, the original version sold 4.2 million copies within its first 16 months — pretty impressive for, well, flashcards. Brain Quest was available for grades 1 through 7, and later had subject-specific sets as well. The people who make Trivial Pursuit could learn a thing or two from Brain Quest question writers. The game featured a brilliant combination of facts, brain teasers, and critical thinking. In fact, Brain Quest was epic enough to overlook the fact that it was educational.

When Pop-Up Video debuted on VH1 in 1996, it quickly became the channel’s highest-rated show. The format was simple: play campy music videos while word bubbles popped up with brilliant trivia nuggets about the band and video. Where else would you learn that actress Diane Keaton directed Belinda Carlisle’s video for “Heaven is a Place on Earth,” that Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” video took six weeks to complete (they usually take two days), or that George Michael of Wham! used to stuff shuttlecocks down his pants?

We’ve heard of chocolate-covered cookies, but never cookie-covered chocolate. Keebler’s Magic Middles Cookies were a unique treat — crunchy cookie encasing a gooey chocolate center. How did they get the chocolate in there? It was magic, duh.

But suddenly, Keebler stopped selling them. We’re not sure why Magic Middles Cookies were discontinued, but as far as we know, nobody has ever made a cookie like it since.
