Here are the most popular posts this week at The Retroist
- Retroist Podcast Premiers Today – Episode 001 – The Rubik’s Cube – I am proud to announce the premier of the Retroist Podcast. Today’s show is all about one of my favorite pop culture icons, “The Rubik’s Cube”.
- The Most Memorable Candy Commercials of the 1980s – The 1980s were a great time for child product marketing. The toy, cereal and candy commercials clogged the airwaves every day, filling our small brains with thoughts of plastic fun and sugar coated impulse buys.
- He-Man and the Masters of the Universe TV Ad – I love the heroic art style of this 1985 print ad for the He-Man animated series. Pictured are (left to right) Stridor, Roboto, Moss Man, Sy-Klone, He-Man, Skeletor, Whiplash, Two Bad and Webstor (who is green for some reason).
- 80’s Cake … You Will Be Mine – The joystick candle on top almost brings a tear to my eye. It is just wonderful.
- New Star Trek Fragrances – Boldly Smell Like No One Has Smelled Before – The Star Trek product marketing license is finally pushing towards the final frontier with a set of perfumes and colognes that will be released just in time to capitalize off the success of the Abrams’ reboot.
- New Cobra Commander Action Figure or One Less Movie I Need to See this Summer – Cobra Commander in silver mask or hood is iconic. Why mess with that? Bad decision…
