    Is this a real list? Obviously in 1992 they didn’t know that the Internet would preserve the memory of a lot of this stuff so yeah, feels too early. But imagine the world with no Internet that had moved on and forgotten about Joey’s “whoa!”

      It sure feels real. I have a very vague memory of all of that happening. Or maybe I watched a YouTube video about it years ago? It’s hard to say.

      I do remember they had pictures of the lid during commercial breaks for a while leading up to it, to build hype.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_Studios

      There’s a section for the Time Capsule under Opening and Reception. It has the list above in the article more or less and cites this source: https://cdm21072.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p21072coll2/id/784

      Which has essentially the list from both above and the wiki. So if we wanted to confirm we’d probably have to go to the video which can be found here: https://youtu.be/W1hxmfi_4J8

      Which from my casual viewing seems be approximately the list above with the exception of perhaps a newspaper from the day they loaded the capsule (approximately one minute in), but that is probably accounted for with the news reports.
