This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They used to think that sort of thing was cool in the 90s.
They were right. I stand by this claim.
I had one of those in my bedroom growing up!
A friend of mine had one as a teenager and then brought it with him to his dorm room after high school. We called it Pavlov because it had to be answered when it rang.
I saw one of these at Target the other day in the $5-and-below section. Except it wasn't a full phone, it was a nostalgia grab designed to be a wired "headset" for a cell phone with a headphone jack.
what do you mean "used to"?
