Garner shared the video on her Instagram, showing her playing a game of "Remember this?," '90s edition. She addresses the camera and shows the audience some of the items she's discussing, featuring them as background photos in the video. 

"I mean mixed tapes, why don't we make mixed tapes for each other anymore?" she says at the start. "Oh, I guess they're called playlists now."

She also showed a photo of legwarmers and skates. "I legitimately still wear legwarmers. Like for real. They keep your legs warm. And roller skates," she said." 

Lastly, she showed a pretty old-time phone. "If you remember dialing someone's number on this," she said, showing a phone with a rotary dial. "It's time for retinol. It's your best friend, I don't know what to tell you. Give in!" she concluded, laughing.
