In this day and age, nothing is more rewarding for netgoers like me than stumbling across a holdover from the Old Internet—a hyperspecialized site catering specifically to enthusiasts of a very specific hobby.

It may sound terribly dry, but all someone has to do is read the wonderfully caustic review of the Newton Pippin to understand that this is a passion project coming from the deepest depths of somebody's soul. It's utterly perfect—just like the SweeTango, apparently.
