I Love the 80s

My Little Pony. Leg warmers. Leggings. And now, the Rubik's Cube.

What decade are we living in again?

At least, this time around, the Rubik's Cube is getting an upgrade. Reclusive Professor Rubik has developed a new edition of the popular, brain-hemorrhage-inducing toy. Now, instead of it being a cube with various colored squares to line up, it's a set of transparent spheres and colorful balls. (The square is so 20th century.) This time, you need to get the colorful balls from an inner transparent sphere into their corresponding slots on the other sphere via lots of shaking.

It doesn't sound like it has quite the same appeal. I mean, shaking? Doesn't that remind you of those hand-held games filled with water, in which you'd press a button and try to get floating basketballs/mermaids/chickens to land in a hoop/shell/nest?

Sometimes you just can't beat the original.
