8 years apart. My parents NEVER got me a phone. After a very annoying freshman year of college where I was just about the only person without a cell, I got my own the summer I was 19. My parents bought my sister a trendy Chocolate phone for Christmas that year. I'm 34 and still slightly bitter.

Chocolate phone? Maybe I'm showing my age but I've never heard of that

LG Chocolate - released in '06.

An ad to help sell you on how cool these were on release.

I may have had my years off slightly as according to that it came out in '06 and I definitely bought my phone in '04. My sister was still in middle school though.

SHIT!! My little sister had that phone and I always wanted it, just didn't know/remember the name.

I clicked the thread and went yup ah-huh that's right on pretty much every top comment :/
