When my older brother and I were younger, he subscribed to Nintendo Power. One day, he received an ad that was a little yellow packet with the words "Do Not Open This" in big, "exciting" font.
"Why can't you open it?" I asked.
"If you open it, you'll go blind," he joked.
I was terrified out of that little packet for over three years until I finally got the nerve to brave opening it up.
It was just an ad for a renewal subscription of Nintendo Power.
