That you either have, had, heard about, or just randomly find online.

I have this one. I’ve never actually hooked it up and used it, but I definitely bought it and still have it.

The famous Sports Illustrated football phone. I currently have an SI subscription (it's a monthly magazine now) but I never had the phone.

TV ad from 1991 for the Nick at Nite Get Smart Shoe Phone. I had one of these, it had a short cord and eventually stopped working so it went in the trash. Seems to have been rather cheaply made.

Of course, you can also make your own "Get Smart Shoe Phone":

(...) This real working shoe phone, with the phone in one shoe and the bluetooth headset in the other, was the basis of a Flinders University press release, on The New Inventors and a headline item on the ABC South Australian TV News (...)

You can kick your Sports Illustrated football phone with your Sports Illustrated sneaker phone

Does anyone remember NASCAR telephones? They were car shaped and they had some NASCAR drivers race cars. Mine was a Jeff Gordon NASCAR telephone and I thought it was really cool

I found a Hamburger Phone in my thrift store travels and keep it (unconnected) by my coffee machine in kitchen.
