The mention of the 90s brings a flood of nostalgic memories to Internet users. The memories of childhood, the growing years and the golden adolescence we spent in school can be overwhelming. As we move on to the complex issues of life and day-to-day problems, the mere mention of childhood and school frees us for a moment. So when a Twitter page shared a photo of the eraser that could supposedly wipe off ink, netizens were taken for a stroll into the past.
Check it out here:
Fuzzy childhood memories grew fresh, and people shared their nostalgic stories in response to the post. Users reported that instead of erasing the ink from the paper, the eraser tears the paper instead.
They were too hard to erase and most of the time ended up tearing the paper ????— Priyanka (@emojhunka) August 19, 2021

It didn’t wash away the ink, but it sure tore the paper – Pavan kumar (@DumblePavan) August 19, 2021

While the red part of the eraser was intended for flexible pages and the blue part was to be used on thick sheets, it seems that it didn’t work for most users anyway. Sharing her story, one user wrote, “Kids in the 80s thought the red part could erase teachers’ grades with the red pen. The experience didn’t end well, that’s all I can say. “
This definitely erased the ink with the paper ????— RoyanGJ???????? (@roy_eat) August 19, 2021

I applied saliva to the blue part hoping it will work, but if I tore off the paper often. – Prathamesh Malaikar (@dawnofpratham) August 19, 2021

But for some, the eraser actually worked. So while most users said the eraser working on the ink was a rumor, one user had a different story to tell.
It made. The blue part has erased the ink. – Sasha???? (@ sashamisra15) August 19, 2021

During this time, users also remembered other stationery items that they used during their school years.
Users also shared the experience of using a fountain pen and the process of preparing for use. The happy memories of the 90s have left many people overwhelmed.
I was just thinking for a moment about the camlin ink pens and spilled ink on the shirts in the ink refill tubes and all that…. Aaahhhh that was the time…. The absolute happiness of being a child of the 90s… Unforgettable memories have never lived a real life ????????????— Rajesh Atluru (@ toonet1034) August 19, 2021
