But someone actually typing the URL on the packaging to test it?
I believe it was a QR code.
@hungrier fair enough. Though it's so insanely fast that I'm not sure they have time to look at anything. Then again, blind-folded records are significantly slower, so... I guess they do?

Ancient, but still funny (though some elements could use a refresh for those under 50)
