Are you looking to inject some unhinged, high-carb nostalgia into your living room? Look no further.
Even if you aren’t deeply inspired by the beloved Belcher family, who among us doesn't want to live in a magical world where you answer your incoming phone calls by splitting a giant, plastic, sesame-seed-encrusted cheeseburger in half and pressing it against your ear?
I’ve owned this glorious piece of telecommunications history for a very long time, but I’ve only actually used it about five times. Why? Because every time someone called me on it, I got an overwhelming craving for a late-night drive-thru run down Speedway, and my stomach simply couldn't take the emotional roller coaster anymore.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS & SPECS:
-
Audio Quality: Surprisingly crystal clear! Sounds way better than trying to make a call through the concrete walls of a UofA dorm room.
-
Ease of Use: Plug-and-play simplicity. Just plug the RJ11 jack into your wall (if you still have a landline) or hook it up to a VoIP adapter to confuse your roommates.
-
Ergonomics: Top bun houses the speaker, bottom bun houses the dial pad/mouthpiece, and the melted cheese slice acts as a natural ear-cradle. Pure engineering genius.
-
Condition: Lightly seasoned, zero grease stains, 100% plastic.
It makes an incredible desk centerpieces, a phenomenal conversation starter for guests who come over before hitting the Fourth Avenue Street Fair, or a crucial prop if you’re trying to romanticize 1998 landline culture in the middle of the Sonoran Desert.
Price is negotiable. Bring exact cash or offer up an interesting local trade! Pick up near campus.
