Fanatical Kaizer Chiefs fans hardly need reminding of when they last won silverware. Look how much the world has changed since then.
TikTok started up in September 2016. You probably all use or consume it in some shape or form, even if it’s accidentally and annoyingly through Instagram. Even Pitso Mosimane is on there.
COVID-19. Yeah, let’s not even get into that topic. We all probably spent a lot of time on TikTok while eating food from air fryers during quarantine and watching football in empty stadiums.
If you had a teenager or pre-teen around 2017 when fidget spinners were introduced to the market, you’ll know how annoying those things were. Fortunately, that trend has died down. Never forget.
The Impossible Burger launched in 2016 and has offered vegetarians some great fake meat and plant-based burger options. Apparently, it tastes like the real thing too. Each to their own.
Until pop icon Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in 2017, the range of available cosmetics shades was narrow, meaning that the makeup industry lacked inclusivity and diversity. Fenty launched to wild success as it went to market with 40 shades of foundation to cater to a wider skin tone range than ever before, and other companies have since been pushed to follow suit. What a trailblazer she is.
For the record, Ultra high-definition TVs started taking hold in 2015, while the Apple Watch launched in April of the same year. 2015 was a good vintage for the Glamour Boys. Chiefs clinched the league title on April 22nd 2015 with a 4-1 win over Polokwane City, courtesy of goals from George Lebese, Bernard Parker and a Matthew Rusike brace. There were still three games of the PSL season to spare. What a luxury. Speaking of luxuries, it’s safe to say that nobody in the FNB Stadium was wearing an Apple Watch that day.
