Remember the Famous Rubix Cube? It's Back...With a Vintage Vengeance

Remember the Rubik's Cube? It's Back!!


Anybody who was anybody back in the 80s had a Rubik's cube....but it's only, like two decades later that we realize that this baby had some nostalgic value...including yours truly :) I remember when I was half-heartedly attempting to solve the puzzle, I was probably in grade school and I probably gave up after awhile, sorry to have to disclose that, just being totally honest. Maybe we had lost the paperwork that came with it at the time that might have continued the clues.

Moving on, this colorful cube has gotten so much mass appeal that it's no surprise it has bounced back onto the fun brain-teaser market once again....along with some cool new extra features like this little pyramid shaped stand (mine didn't have one of those) and some other unique things that appeal to the generation after mine, like social sharing for scorekeeping so your friends can see what you've been up to; and maybe even invite them to join along with their own cubes too.


It's said that brain-teaser games are very beneficial for young developing minds, so no time like the present to give the gift of eye-hand coordination, problem solving skills, and logic to the kids of today. In this day and age when STEM games and activities are the hottest addition to the market, it only makes sense to introduce something that complements it perfectly. Don't forget to tell them that when you were a kid "This was the most popular toy on the market; anybody who was anybody had a Rubik's cube" And the Millennials (or should I say Generation Z now?) with a sense of nostalgia will definitely get it!
