Mary-Kate and Ashley's Fun Club

In 1993 (or '94; it's unclear), Mary-Kate and Ashley's management team created "Mary-Kate and Ashley's Fun Club," the twins' first official fan club. The promo for this club ran at the beginning of each of their videos and promised that every registered member would receive a precious box of rare Mary-Kate and Ashley collectibles.So in today's episode, we unbox the Fun Club. Or, at least, we unbox what's left of the Fun Club folder that Lani found in her parents' basement, including original photos, posters, magazines and a couple extra memorabilia that send us down a rabbit hole of nostalgia.We also theorize that Mary-Kate and Ashley created their own cinematic universe that targeted nerdy girls, we once again have an existential crisis over the fact that we were brainwashed, and we speculate over whether or not the twins actually had fun as children.SOURCES FROM THE EPISODE: Fun Club SourceMary-Kate and Ashley's Fun Club CommercialMary-Kate and Ashley's Roller Blade PosterFind us on Instagram!Show: @theythoughtiwasyouBecca: @beccarothLani: @laniharmsWere you also a Fun Club "official member"?
