If you grew up in the 80s, you should easily be able to identify these common household items from the decade, even though we have blurred them. We have blurred these images to give you a bit of a challenge, even if you are an expert in all things 1980s. The 80s were a special time, and some of the best movies and music came from that decade. We still remember it as one of the best times for pop culture, and many people get nostalgic about everyday life in the 80s

If you consider yourself one of these people, then we think you will do very well in this quiz. Here is exactly how it works:

There are six blurred photos of everyday items you may have found around the house in the 80s, from appliances to furnishings to toys. If you need some help, then we have provided some clues below the images. If you finally want the answers and unblurred photos, then scroll to the end for the big reveal.

Good luck, 80s kids!
