You may have heard of time capsules, preserving the present for the future, by burying items of importance or signifgance to be opened at a later time.
We want to know what you would save, preserve or memorialize in a time capsule. Books? Movies? Electronics? What specifics would you want someone 50 years from now to see?
In 1992 Nickelodeon, and a group of kids, assembled some popular items from that time and buried it to be opened in 2042.
Here’s a silly (and cheesy) video of the burial:
Here is a list of the stuff that they buried (You can tell how long ago this was by the things they included):
1. MOVIES
2. CD’s
3. A NINTENDO GAME BOY
4. ROLLERBLADES
5. REEBOK PUMP SNEAKERS
6. A JAR OF GAK
7. ONE OF JOEY LAWRENCE’S “WHOA! 92” HATS.
8. NEWS REPORTS

11. A NICKTOONS T-SHIRT FEATURING REN & STIMPY

13. A BARBIE DOLL
14. PENCILS
15. A SKATEBOARD

So, what would you bury from today?
What is Gak?
Good question, Percy Jackson,
Gak is a toy from the 90’s that was similar to silly putty. I’m sure it’s still available. Here’s a site with more info: http://www.gak-is-back.com/
The last Twinkies on the face of the earth… are in that time capsule! And really, did they actually think that in 50 years they would come back and open that? Nickelodion probally won’t even exist then! Peechtival!
I’d still have a GameBoy, but it broke a few months ago. Also, where’d they get a piece of the Berlin Wall? That’s crazy!
Nickelodeon is silly in that way. they do crazy things because they are crazy.
