Ha! We bought stuff from that guy back in the day too. I felt like he had been buying some drugs.

When did foosball and beanbags become emblematic of the 90s??? Or is this a purely meta-Stranger staff thing?

Beanbag chairs are from the 70's, and foos is an 80's thing.
That said, we now live in an era in which 10-year-old School of Rock kids are busy learning Journey tunes, so all of these distinctions are becoming increasingly fleeting, if not irrelevant.
