A new video on TikTok is going viral at the moment. Its a short video of a person finding and asking about a “vintage” gadget. The product in question is the old Apple iPod Shuffle.

Looking at this clip from @freckenbats (Via AppleInsider), around two million people have already watched the video on the popular short video sharing platform. In the clip, we can see the user trying to figure out the product that she has in her hand like its an antique from a bygone era. The caption of this post reads “Anyone know what this is?!??!.” She even turns the iPod Shuffle in her hands hands a couple of times to discern its function.

In the video, she says that “I found this old iPod, I don’t know, hair clip thing.” That statement alone could make an entire generation grimace and feel old at the same time. For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant discontinued the iPod Shuffle back in 2017, which is actually a year after TikTok was launched. Now here’s the shocker, rather than using the clip part to place it on the belt or shirt like we used to, she tried to use the shuffle as a hair clip. But, to paint the a clearer picture, it was just a joke and it was her old possession to begin with. She had just uploaded the video to confuse others as a gag.
