old school

Most people had a childhood that featured Legos. For millions of us, a birthday or Christmas saw Lego sets as a welcome sight. It's iconic, man.

Here are some nostalgic snacks from the good ol' days.

It's not like anyone wants to give you bad advice. Well, maybe these hilariously bad and dumb life pro tips might be exactly that. This incredibly dumb financial advice also falls into the category of "straight up don't do this."

For other surprising old-timey stuff, there's also some cool vintage life-hacks from forever ago.

Here are some amazing beer cans from a bygone era.
