Admittedly offered in the reduced stuff so maybe no one wants it either. IMO encourages secret dates/ messaging with older boys and men and sexualisation of young girls. WIBU to complain to the shop?

Another fashion wheel fan here!!!!

Jonsnowsghost · 03/12/2017 19:44

I love dream phone! A few years ago when I worked in a bar with internal phones (upstairs and downstairs) my friend used to ring and do the dream phone "he likes going to the beach, but isn't wearing a hat" used to make me laugh so much

SmellySphinx · 03/12/2017 19:51

Does anyone remember 0891 50 50 50!!!

Something like that? hahaha all neon pink and green flashing advert

NorfolkEnchance · 03/12/2017 19:52

I still have this! The old version though. Not sure I can persuade DH to play it with me though...

TheWhyteRoseShallRiseAgain · 03/12/2017 20:10

Ooh I'd forgotten all about fashion wheel! Hours of joy

I bought myself a spirograph last year and it was Shite, they have changed it and have ruined it

I loved this game. My friends had it but I never did.
It was harmless.

ManchesterGin · 03/12/2017 20:44

Argh fashion wheel!! Amazing.

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 03/12/2017 20:45

I loved that game!

It didn't stop me spending my teens completely uninterested in men. It was a game.

BroomHandledMouser · 03/12/2017 20:47

Dreamphone!! I got this for Xmas one year and I LOVED it!!

"You're right...I like you!"

😂

Bananacakerocks · 03/12/2017 20:49

I still have my 90s Dream Phone! It's just like Cluedo but you're trying to find out what handsome guy fancies you! My male friends love it coming out when we get together for board games!

putonyourdancingshoes · 03/12/2017 21:27

"I know who he is... but I'm not telling...haha,"

Dozyoldtwonk · 03/12/2017 21:39

The world has gone mad - a bit of fun and a whole lot of nostalgia to boot. get over yourself OP

ferntwist · 03/12/2017 21:47

YANBU. I was a teenager in the 90s and I’ve never seen it. Creepy and encourages girls to waste time obsessing over boys and men.

MrsFionaCharming · 03/12/2017 21:56

We spotted this in a toy shop window last week, and I tried to explain it to DP as “like Cluedo, but trying to find out who fancies you”. He laughed for about 5 minutes.

I didn’t have it, but one of my friends did and we loved it. Giant phone and all.

I had fashion wheel, which was equally awesome.

SylviaTietjens · 03/12/2017 21:56

Can anyone remember what that board game was called that was out around the same time as Dream Phone. You had to watch a video while you were playing and occasionally a spooky face would pop up on the tv giving you instructions. I remember getting absolute hysterical with both games at sleepovers. I think it began with an ‘h’ if that helps?

MrsFionaCharming · 03/12/2017 22:02

There was a Star Trek board game that fits that description Sylvia? I talked about it so much DP tracked down a copy on eBay, only problem is we don’t have a video player anymore.

iklboo · 03/12/2017 22:04

I think that's Atmosfear Sylvia

liverbird10 · 03/12/2017 22:28

@MiaowTheCat I had Fashion Wheel too! I longed for it for weeks, and loved it for about three days.

AppleKatie · 04/12/2017 06:07

Ah Atmosfear another classic! For totally different reasons!
