Pretty sure everyone had one of these.

My mom thought she had reached nirvana when us kids gifted her a digital photo frame with about 100 family photos uploaded to it.

Aunt had one so yellowed with age you could barely make out the family photos.

So high tech back then. I remember these.

Wow I had totally forgotten about these!

Still have mine with my baby pics in it.

Years ago, my aunt gave me one she had at her home with my baby pictures (she babysat me). I still have it. The foam inside is yellowed, but the pictures are in good shape. One is me on my inchworm (remember those?!?).

My grandmother had one (or 2) of them. Once she got to be a great-great-grandmother, she may not have used them any more.

Or they just fell behind the table where she kept photos.

My grandparents had these in their houses

Thanks for posting this. I have forgotten about photo cubes. We had those at home in the 80s.

It’s Ironic you asked this, because my Mom told me sadly yesterday that ours fell in the floor and broke. It had baby pictures of each of us four kids and a photo of her and Dad. We took it out of the cube last year for the photo display at his funeral. Someone didn’t put it back on the shelf right and it broke yesterday 😢

Pretty sure I gave one to my parents as a gift.

Still have one -- loaded with the photos my grandmother picked. I haven't messed with it because I think the entire thing will disintegrate if I do.

Yup!

Wait, family never had one when I was a kid. But I have had one on my workbench in my garage for the last 30 years. 🤣

I guess you could say we inherited one from my grandparents.

We've got one in the hallway. It has pictures of our old cats in it. 😁

Had? I made a 3D printed one for my mom a couple years ago!

I'm going to make one for my dad for his birthday. He used the plastic cubes for the awful outtakes. It was hilarious. I had forgotten about them, but I will remind my sister, and we are totally doing an "awful pictures" cube!

jojowasher@reddit

I purposely made a couple extra pics and installed them, one was a picture of my mom with crazy hair during a monsoon, and one was me being goofy, but then I gave her extras to swap out

You're posting in r/GenX , so you've got to be at least 46 years old.

In all that time, you still haven't been able to wrap your head around the difference between "who's" and "whose?"

Ugh lol my mom had a huge amount of these. Drove the old man up the wall!

[-]

adryanne@reddit

I still have one (with pics of me and my siblings) that originally belonged to grandparents.

My dad used those for awful pictures. My mom kept "good photos" in photo albums. But my dad put the "outtakes" in plastic cubes. Lmao. Thanks so much for the memories. One of my favorites was the "dog" cube. Mom trying to get cute pictures of us with the dog, and, well- dogs and kids. Holy crap so funny. Again, thanks for the reminder.
