Remember being terrified by the ghost stories you read under the covers as a kid? Do you ever look at a green ribbon and wonder what if it has a morbid meaning?

And decide for yourself just HOW illegal it actually was -- and what music artists actually liked having Napster share their songs.

Did you know that your 80's childhood toys are now considered antiques? Would you try on an authentic used windsuit for the sake of a selfie opportunity? Do you wish you could find your see-through corded phone, just to put it up to your ear one more time?

Join us on a thrifting field trip to America's Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida.

From the unsettling Madame Alexander dolls that haunted Dani's piano lessons to iconic American Girl dolls, we encounter artifacts from our 80s childhoods and 90s teen years that are now considered antiques.
