Buckle up for a nostalgic blast from the past with Retro Rewind: Wild Trivia Gen Z Missed by Martha Russel! This trivia-packed treasure trove dives into 50 things young people today might not believe were real-like waiting for dial-up internet to screech its way online, spinning a Rubik's Cube for hours, or rocking bell-bottoms like a 70s rock star. From the clunky charm of floppy disks to the leg-warmer craze sparked by Flashdance, each chapter is a mini time machine, stuffed with surprising facts, hilarious anecdotes, and trivia questions to stump your friends. Ever heard of a Pet Rock? Or a Trapper Keeper that made school cool? How about the milkman who delivered glass bottles at dawn? This book uncovers the quirky, forgotten corners of the pre-digital world, blending humor and history for readers of all ages.
Whether you're a Gen Z curious about life before Wi-Fi or a nostalgic Boomer reliving the glory days, Retro Rewind has something for everyone. Picture this: kids roaming neighborhoods till the streetlights came on, boomboxes blasting hip-hop on street corners, and families tweaking bunny-ear antennas for a fuzzy TV signal. Martha Russel's conversational style makes every page feel like a chat with a friend, packed with stories-like the time my cousin cheated at a Rubik's Cube by peeling off the stickers or when my mom tripped over her bell-bottoms at a disco. With 50 chapters covering tech, fashion, toys, and more, plus a "Test Your Retro Trivia Skills!" quiz with 20 questions to crown you the ultimate trivia champ, this book is your ticket to a world that feels like ancient history but was just yesterday.
