Another thing I remember growing up in the nineties was being told orbs in photos were spirts, and again without the internet I couldn’t prove or disprove it. It was a complete mystery which I thought about all the time.

Back in the nineties many rumours spread about hidden secret in those games, but we didn’t have the internet to verify or debunk them.

2nd link for Europeans: http://archive.is/2017.08.07-014013/http://www.capitolhillse...
Quick question: Why "for Europeans?" I tried from a couple of EU-based endpoints and could access the second link just fine. What error did you get? I ask because I know the operator of CHS via a friend of a friend kind of thing.

> dispensed drinks were rare cans that were either ordinarily unavailable in the United States or have not been in circulation since the 1980s > In June 2018, the machine mysteriously disappeared I don't think it's mysterious.
