YES!!! This post is awesome:) I definitely had Benetton and Espirit shirts/sweatshirts with their giant letters too:) And I remember scratch and sniff stickers, I used to love those!
It is funny I live in another Country yet there is some very familiar items like Scratch and sniff collections and Esprit sweatshirt!
