It featured in \u2013 among many others \u2013 The Simpsons, The Big Bang Theory, a Spice Girls video and major Hollywood movies: the six famous colours were everywhere. The popularity of the _Rubik\u2019s Cube_ continued \u2013 and continues \u2013 to grow around the world. Harry Styles featured the Cube in the visuals (and merch!) for his last tour, and it appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse, as well as Young Sheldon, Disney\u2019s Moon Knight and Wednesday on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the _Rubik\u2019s Cube_ is acknowledged as one of the most beloved toys of all time. Each year, millions are sold, solved, and shared among friends, families and puzzle seekers alike.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-685395\"
