FUSE TV - 10 Reasons Tamagotchis Rule

Everyone knows '90s nostalgia is at an all-time high right now and we're taking some time to honor one of our favorite invention from the era: the Tamagotchi. The virtual, keychain pet was created in Japan in 1996, before becoming one of the hugest toy fads of the decade. A combination of the Japanese word for egg, "tamago," and the English word "watch," Tamagotchi gave '90s kids the chance to raise a bizarre little alien petand they were absolutely obsessed.

Check out the best things about Tamagotchis below and get inspired to run into your parents' basement to find yours laying in an old toy chest. Before that, tune in to #FBF90s every Friday afternoon and night on Fuse from 4/3c till 11/10c, where you can watch episodes of classic '90s shows like Moesha and The PJs, movies like Anaconda and Spike Lee's Crooklyn, and much more nostalgic fun. Find Fuse in your area with our Channel Finder here.
