These 27 you just had to be there memes will hit you right in the nostalgia
Bring back summer 2018
Lydia VennTwitter has been very nostalgic this weekend with everyone sharing you had to be there memes which sum up all of our longing for better times.
The “you just had to be there” memes were first posted on Friday and people are sharing four photos for things they’re nostalgic for. These include original iPhone games, Love Island and Turkey Twizzlers.
The funniest of the memes are essentially the ones that sum up peak British culture, such as Gary Barlow having a go at Tulisa for her “fag ash” breath courtesy of the Love of Huns Twitter account.
