[LG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-laundry-love-lab) 'Friends' is the name of the new plug-and-play accessories collection for the LG's [G5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagie-sts-sprayers-my2025) phone. These smartphone add-ons can now be purchased online from LG G5’s Friends Marketplace.

In order to promote this new accessory line and show that life is more fun with Friends, LG created a quirky website to go along with these accessories. The site features a split-screen interface where a user picks a phone from one side and a toy on the other. Once a pair has been decided on, site visitors are able to launch a number of [in-browser games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-website-games) inspired by the matches.

This offbeat LG website is highly shareable and offers a lighthearted take on memes that will appeal to young audiences who want to be entertained.
