This makes me want one of those rotary cell phones, just to see what happens.

I backed out of the thread, my mind caught up, and I came back because I want to see this rotary cell phone. We demand answers OP!

I mean I don't know how big it was worldwide, but where I'm from there was like a whole trend some years back where teens would have these, landline telephone speaker/mics you plugged in to the headphone jack to make calls and they'd have it hang around their neck when not using it it was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen.
