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.

To do one on the music of Nintendo?

Well, just sort of everything we didn't cover because the N64 was such a big deal.

It was definitely part of it.

I collected the Star Wars trading cards, too.

Sure.

I don't know.

It's funny, I went back and got all my old cards not too long ago, and I didn't collect a ton of cards.

This could be a two-parter separated by time and space.
