Retro Rewind: Wild Trivia Gen Z Missed

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?

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.

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.
