apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I don't have a hamburger phone, but I do have a hamburger egg timer!

don't kids live by cellphones now?

I had an early "clock radio" with a built in phone. When your cheeck would accidentally hit the enormous redial button at least once during every call, it would dial the number (with a rotary ticking sound) then hang up. Good times!

This is just pathetic.

That phone symbolized everything that was wrong with that movie. Meh.

"When we were a teen"???

Seeing that phone in the movie brought up two reactions in rapid succession. 1) That is so awesome. 2) I could never get one now because it has just lost its inherent awesomeness and become kitsch from the movie.

i had two amazing phones growing up:

1) a swatch phone (any other fans out there?)

2) the stars and stripes rotary phone

I always wanted that Swatch phone when it was around!

"That phone symbolized everything that was wrong with that movie. Meh."

My thought EXACTLY.

i think my swatch phone is still at my parents house somewhere. i got it for christmas one year and it was like the equivalent of ralphie and the b b gun.

My brother had a hamburger phone back in the day. It was cute, but you were contstantly hanging up on people with your chin.

I had a clear phone, similar to this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Clear-Neon-Phone-Trimline-Telephone-Near-Mint_W0QQitemZ230328671307QQihZ013QQcategoryZ985QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem except with a red cord. I need to go find that phone.

I used to covet a phone shaped like a pair of lips.

jerseybelle - i always wanted one like that! my older cousin had one and i was so jealous.

my first phone was a garfield one.

If you saw Juno you might recall the trouble she had with her hamburger phone. I'd opt for the fancy neon glowing see-through phone.

I had an M&M phone at one point....
