Happy National Bubble Bath Day!

Once upon a time, before I was your daily trivia aficionado, I used to work at a day spa that offered rose petal bubble baths. So, I'm here to tell you that you're never too old for a relaxing soak in some suds. And if you still have a rubber ducky or a toy boat, that's even better.

Which company made the sneakers with "power laces" in "Back to the Future Part II"?

"Back to the Future Part II" showed us a 2015 with flying cars, hoverboards, and self-drying jackets. And while all of that was really cool, it was the self-tying (technically they were self-tightening) shoes Marty McFly slipped on that made it onto every kid's wish list.

Retro Rewind: On This Day

90 years ago TODAY, a shy kid from Tupelo who’d rewrite rock and roll was born. Of course, I’m talking about Elvis Presley!
From "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," and "Jailhouse Rock" to the ’68 Comeback Special and those jump-suited Vegas shows, Elvis turned hip shakes, gospel roots, and blues influences into a global shockwave that changed pop music, movies, and teen culture forever. He would have turned 90 today, which is wild considering his records, movies, and impersonators never really left the building.
What was Elvis' final feature film role? (Come on, I just asked this one)
Retro Trivia
Who was the original author of the James Bond books?

We’ve had way more James Bond writers than actors at this point, and the franchise itself is owned by the Broccoli family (no, I’m not making that up), but the callsign of 007 will never change.
