It didn’t go out of business in '97, I was 1000% there for a birthday party in 2000 or 2001. It seems the company went bankrupt in 1997, and the assets were sold multiple times over the years. Locations stayed open, and, according to Google at least, there seems to be at least a couple left in Ohio, and California?

Either way, this took me down a nice nostalgia hole, very nice.

Personally, mine was ninjas.

Power Rangers, 3 Ninjas (original one only), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But also, the early 90s Dick Tracy movie? I never actually saw the movie, still haven’t, but the imagery and products really captivated me at 4.

I thought my chest was going to cave in multiple times while watching this one.

Honestly, they’re the only smartphones I’ve ever used, going all the way back to the MyTouch 3G. Well, my first “smart” phone was a Sidekick that I got in 2009 or so, but I upgraded to Android and the MyTouch 3G when my cousin gave it to me when she got a new phone.

Since then I’ve had a Galaxy S, Galaxy S5, Note 5, and I’ve had a Pixel 4a 5G for a couple of years now.

Oddly enough I’ve been on the fence about going to iPhone for my next phone. I have a lot of time and money tied up in the Play Store, and I know it doesn’t just go away when I get a new phone, but I’ve gotta take some stock before I make a switch. Apple products have become more and more enticing as I get older. I used to have harder feelings about the phone divide, but I honestly haven’t cared the past 5 years, a good phone is a good phone.
