@wirecutter: Throwback to chatting with your friends on the home phone🤘 Kids are embracing “light tech” lately — including the Tin Can, this plug-in phone with a retro-chic curly cord that operates like a landline. And there’s a bunch of other nostalgia-inducing tech we’re into, too, including a portable music player that resembles an old-school iPod Shuffle. See all the retro tech for kids that Wirecutter has tested and recommends at the link in bio.
Kids talking about how wealthy their families are and then the price point being affordable popping up doesn’t really jive together. This is a weird ad.

I miss the crisp sound of the landline. That was essential to the 2-hour session with a bestie.

my niece has this, they live in a small town where no kids have phones, they can walk wherever they want by themselves without worrying. it’s so nice to see kids getting to stay kids. she even has a list on her wall of her friends numbers to dial. i love this sm.
