Free AOL discs…
Posted by | Filed under Life
AOL hasn’t tried darkening my mailbox in quite some time but when I checked the mail today; there it was another “free trial offer”. Normally, I would have just tossed it directly into the trash since they no longer send their software out on floppies. However as I walked back up to my apartment, the packaging the CD was in reminded me of something I’d seen previously online.
In short, it looked rather much like Jewelboxing’s Kings, Movie-Sized Cases. I tore the case apart to remove all of AOL’s crappy marketing and to examine the case for manufacturing marks. Unfortunately, I didn’t see anything on the case that positively identified it as a one of Jewelboxing’s cases. Is it the real thing? A cheap knock-off? Heck if I know!
What I do know is that I just got a nice DVD size case for free that goes for $49 per pack of 20 ($2.45 each). This will work great for storing some DVDs I’ve burned of fan-subbed anime. *keen*

heather: i love dannon coffee yogurt. other brands can't seem to get coffee flavor right. yoplait has a cappucino that is gross and brown cow's coffee yogurt is repulsive.
i can totally see how this is a love it or hate it thing though. the coffee flavor has a tartness to it that is distinctly a yogurt
Stu: I've just had the same problem; it's caused by the brake pedal switch. This switch can be adjusted so that it works properly. Worst possible case is that the switch would need to be replaced. Fortunately all I had to do was adjust the switch's plunger.

I believe the Jewelboxing people partnered up with AOL for a promotion to package their discs. I’m still waiting for mine to arrive.

@kartooner: Thanks for the info. Having a couple of these in my minds, I can see why people would pay so much for them; they’re really nice cases.
