Apparently the story goes that this 20-25 year old bottle was found in 2016(?), which went viral online, and Nintendo wound up sending the guy an unopened SNES anyway. (Plus a bunch of other stuff)

      That’s 100% a GameBoy, and it’s even got Tetris on the screen.

      The ME next to it makes me think that maybe you had to get all the bottle-caps to spell the whole name, like GA, ME, and BOY. That’s just a thought though.

        Yup, lots of stuff like that. I think McDonald’s Monopoly might be last-man-standing in that space. Most likely “ME” and one of either “GA” or “BOY” were super common and 2 of the 3 lived in people’s junk drawers for a decade.
