Every day for 30 days.

But a lot of thought goes into the packaging like you were talking about earlier with the G.I.

The guy spent a month blowing on this game, took the blown cartridge out at the end, and showed that it was corroded and kind of gross.

Joe actually advertising the other dudes on the package.

But that classic cardboard-backed clear plastic casing.

And it's funny, like you don't know what kid, you always wonder who invented this because every kid did it because every kid saw another kid do it who just got it from some other kid.

The shell.

Yeah, the shell, that was sort of became the standard and what everyone came to think of as an action figure package.

Yeah, and man, that was another thing with the wave of G.I.

But it was just sort of known, like you would take it out and it was always the same thing.

Joes that I played with that really put a lot of time and effort and thought into the packaging.

You would do it really quick and just go and like run the cartridge back and forth in front of your mouth and then stick it back in.

I mean, that was definitely part of it.

It really helped sell the action figures in a lot of ways.

I mean, that sound just triggered a tidal wave of nostalgia in me, Chuck.

I'll remember that.

Even though I tore right into it, like I said, I disregarded the package.

So don't blow in your Nintendo cartridges, people who still play Nintendo original NES.

Well, with the later GI Joes, there was a card on the back that had their code name, their specialty, their backstory, and you'd clip them out and collect those as well.

Maybe we should follow this up again one day.
