Domestic gods and goddesses populating the airwaves, people like Martha Stewart, show how to entertain at home in style and with flair, a small dinner party which Tristan and Aaron will be hosting for a small group of friends for their first meal of the decade. Part of that do it yourself entertaining includes the boom in wine making shops. More prepared foods and packaged foods come on the market and all you can eat buffets become popular to make life easier for the diverse family, who begin to go off in different directions in their scheduled activities. Those domestic entertaining lifestyle shows are just part of the information overload that begin with 24-hour news channels, home computers and the Internet, the combination which kept people plugged into such events as the O.J. Simpson white SUV chase. As the population ages, low impact exercise, such as power walking and step aerobics, becomes the rage. Issues such as contaminated water lead to more and more bottled water being consumed, and with it the recycling movement takes hold to deal with all that additional waste. As with most other decades, pop music influences teen style, this decade which has a more relaxed style associated with grunge, alternative rock and mainstream country, while Tristan gets a little guidance from a style icon to dress for the decade of the supermodel. Unlike other decades however, the teens, Valerie in particular, will be doing something different from the other decades: get a part-time job, specifically at an Italian coffee house where caffè lattes are de rigeur as the gateway coffee drink to the more traditional and stronger espresso, while Robert gets back what are arguably his two greatest comfort foods, chicken nuggets and hard-shelled tacos made with a packaged mix. On "December 31, 1999", the Campuses celebrate both the end of the millennium and the end of the experiment with the most lavish meal of their six decades where they will be able to discuss with Carlo their entire experience, only in knowing the outcome of the Y2K crisis that gripped the world that actual day.
