Ten 90s Commercials You've Probably Forgotten [Sundays Are For Procrastinating]
It's my last day as an intern here at CC (tear). And because CC Editor Alex knows me so well, she knows that the greatest goodbye present she could have given me was a piece of 90s nostalgia. My love for the strange/awesome/tacky things of the 90s is well documented. I'm not sure quite why I love it all so much, but 90s kitsch really bring joy to my heart. So what did Editor Alex show me?

7 Pop Songs From Our Youth That Were Actually Really Dirty
In a not-really-surprising move, British boyband The Wanted has revealed that their song "Glad You Came" is about orgasms. Glad you came, get it? It seems awfully obvious when you think about it.

There are so many candies that used to be all over the place that I never see anymore. Of course, there are always the classic candy bars that stick around forever. The weirder stuff might not last as long, but it sure does bring back memories.

Did You Wear These Ugly Shoes as a Kid? [Photos]
Do you ever look back at old photos of yourself as a kid and think, what was I wearing? Luckily, we grew up in the 90s, which is an excellent excuse for horrible fashion choices. So many awful things were happening in fashion then. One thing in particular that little kids get away with is ugly shoes. So many of the shoes we wore as kids seemed awesome at the time, but were really atrocious.
The Sexual Innuendo You Never Noticed in Dr. Seuss
It's Dr. Seuss' birthday today! If he were still alive, he would be 108 today. No children's author is quite as beloved as Dr. Seuss, and for good reason. His books are funny, clever, sweet, and easy to read. And it turns out there are a few scandalous lines in our most beloved Dr. Seuss books.
