That said, $223k sure is some real money too 🙃
I regret to inform you that they know exactly what they’re doing and there are variant labels (I bought the only can with Suki’s S2K, I don’t need an Eclipse. Unless there’s more than three…)

The factory should probably be paying attention to these videos as they point out so many little things they got wrong.
