Alison has such a no-filter sense of humour. I love her.
Great episode, TSL.

I can smell all the things through the screen.

Baby powder, now using on my son since he was born.

Haw flakes are still my favorite till today. My son likes it too!

My parents did not buy the foam playmat for me but I know the smell because I bought them for my son.

I still buy Zam-Buk to use on my son cos he is really hyper.

I remember the smell of plasticine because my dad always return home with boxes of it from his office.

I used to smell my exercise book everytime my parents bought me a new one. I don't put the plastic cover on, but I will still smell the plastic covers. Lol.

Oh, and you guys forgot about the small rectangular erasers with country flags on it. I smell them too when I was in primary school.

Well, I basically smell every stationery and food when I was young. It's a habit. LOL.

I’m shook at the thought that kids next time won’t even use these stuff that are so familiar to us/our childhood. Like I didn’t even think until that far. shookeh wee great video idea

Hey TSL, this is indeed a very very awesome episode! It Bring back so many memories back in primary school! As a viewer and being 27 this year, I felt the connection while watching this video:)

Keep it up !

As a 90s kid myself... so much flashbacks and reminiscing of the good old days just from watching this videos. Even all the guests had similar experiences themselves that it is just amazing at how we are reminded instinctively/naturally of the childhood memories.

TSL is probably one of the best SG youtube channels so far...if not the best.Keep on posting more videos!I'm gonna cry when one of TSL leaves the show in the future😭
