And images in general.
It's funny cause it led to a whole type of meme (where the bottom of the image is shockingly different) that never works anymore.
I loved when the image turned out to be a progressive JPEG, where you got to see the whole image right away but it was super blurry. Then as the image continued to download, more details were revealed. It was kind of like a real-life version of the “image enhancement” tool that was in every crime drama later. It was also fun to try and guess what the really blurry parts were before the image fully downloaded.
It really was a great format when I surfed the web with my 14.4 or 28.8 modem.
