All the way from 1992

Time capsules should be 100 years, so everyone from when it was sealed is dead. Although, if you’re sealing up a bunch of pop culture stuff, maybe it’s better to make it 50 years? IDK. I’m not very interested in time capsule, I guess.

I’ll be my early 50s that’s not even a good times capsule I’ll still know all of the things that are in it I suppose it’s aimed at children, “this is what your parents thought was important”, presumably everyone will then have a good laugh at the VCR in the cassette tape that will inevitably be in there and no one will have any way to play.

Movies, including Home Alone and Back to the Future on VHS CDs, including Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ’Em by MC Hammer and Michael Jackson's Dangerous album A Nintendo Game Boy Rollerblades Reebok Pump sneakers A jar of Gak, at the request of a Dr. Emmett Brown impersonator, who showed up in a real DeLorean and fake hair One of Joey Lawrence’s “Whoa! ’92” hats, which he stopped by to present News reports, including coverage of the AIDS crisis, Desert Storm, and the end of the Soviet Union Books, including a world atlas, history book, comic book, phone book, the Orlando TV Guide for the week of April 30, 1992, and a copy of the Book of - Endangered Species An issue of Nickelodeon magazine A Nicktoons t-shirt featuring Ren & Stimpy A piece of the Berlin Wall A Barbie doll Pencils A skateboard A baseball Twinkies A stick of bubble gum (though no one seems to know which kind) Photos of things too big (or alive) to fit inside, including bicycles, planes, trains, cars, politicians and celebrities A videotape, which was a recording of the live ceremony, shot by a girl named Vicky who stood onstage to operate the Kid Cam The camera recording the tape, which appears to have been unplanned—Mike O’Malley and Joey Lawrence both looked baffled about how to remove the tape from the camera, so the whole setup was tossed in at the last minute I think 2042 might still be too early to open it, but it will be nice for anyone there to watch it be opened, if they care!
