Cubes that cubers hate!!

How come no one mentioned the rubik's brand 3x3, 4x4, 5x5?

Made me wonder too, they are terrible...

Any of those horrible picture cubes, whether it's one big picture per side or little pictures on each cubie. Not only do they barely turn, but you can't tell what goes where easily.

It's so funny, in the mall I go to there's plenty of booths with those. And there was one booth with REAL cubes - and I mean Dayan (which was good back then) and Moyu. That one lasted a month maybe. And the crap ones are still here :/

Rubik's Brand 2x2

Now for my contribution... Rubik's 2x2 isn't even close to the worst. What I have is a Rubik's Brand Ice Cube. It's a 2x2, I admit it looks good because it's semi transparent, but somehow it would turn even worse than the normal one. When I switched from it to Dayan 2x2, I immediately went from 2 minutes (not kidding) average to 40 seconds... Then after a bit of learning finger tricks (it was impossible on the Rubik's) I went to 20 seconds and I was amazed.

"So... I just flick it with my finger? I don't have to align the pieces perfectly? :O"

Sorry for the rant, I got so nostalgic!

I have a dollar store picture cube that’s just garbage. Not only does it have that signature hollow dollar-store feel we all love, but when the stickers come off (at the slightest touch), there’s no way it’s going back on the puzzle. It’s just a piece of paper from the second it falls off.
 
A Rubik's brand picture cube, my grandpa has it now to cope with his arthritis.
