Hamburger Phone

When we were a teen, our best friend had the lips phone, our neighbor had the Snoopy phone and we had the Private Phone (Remember the jingle? "Your calls are all private, now so is your phone. It's Private Call, a phone all your own.") Start the goofy phone trend for your teen with Fred Flare's Hamburger Phone...

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....
