The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Retro Themed Lottery Cards
By bohus
We've written about zombie brands before, old nameplates resuscitated to sell new product, but these lottery cards are just weird. I see some sense in the Rubik's Cube ticket since the game involves numbers in a cube, but Betty Boop? I guess that Betty is still slapped on everything decades after she was last on screen, so I shouldn't be surprised. I'm actually a huge Boop fan; I love anything from the Fleischer studios (creators of the Popeye cartoons) of that era.
I guess that I'm being naive in wishing that the industry of low-rent gambling wouldn't choose one of my all-time favorite characters as a spokesmodel. To anticipate your next question, no I didn't play the ticket. I just didn't have faith that Betty's boop-oop-a-doop would net me more than the $5 it would cost to play. Now maybe if the ticket featured Scrooge McDuck...
