Tell Us Household Items From 20 Years Ago That've Disappeared

Times change, and so do the things we use. It's hard to think of it now, but there was a time it seemed like every house had a VCR player.
Or a phone book.
That's not the case anymore. So it begs the question: What's a household item that you used to find in every home but would be hard-pressed to come across today? It could be a stack of CDs...
...a landline...
...or a Tuscan-style kitchen aesthetic. (Okay, this one you still might find occasionally.)
Whatever it is, let us know in the comments or through the anonymous form below. The best responses may feature in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!
