Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag Like Fort Knox Edition

Only feats of superhuman strength will reveal the bounty within.

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

@zudthespud: I always think it tastes more like cola, but you could be right, it's been a while since I've drank any either.

I am currently in a mattress predicament myself. See the 'Da is moving and needs to be rid of some furniture. His guest bedroom has a nice bed that was rarely used. I have staked claim to it. But. Now I need to dispose of mine.

I had to google. Even charities won't take a used mattress. You either have to bring it to the landfill yourself or hire a junk pickup company to do it for you. Either way you have to pay to get rid of it.

@HerbieBug I sent a can of coffee flavoured soda in April that I've seen standing on Ryans table since before E3 so they most certainly open some stuff without recording. Maybe I should send them an email asking for thoughts or they're saving it for whenever they see Will next.

I'm waiting for one of these mailbags to look normal until the final like 2 minutes where they uncover a human body part or parts within the packaging. Every time Jeff said something is damp in here, I thought they would encounter something very... bad

If that Ithaca Pale Ale is what I think it is then be warned. That's some of the hoppiest shit I've ever tasted. Damn near threw up as soon as it hit my tongue.

Pfft, just do the ol' 3am mattress dump. Find one of those big community dumpsters and just toss it in, who cares!

I doubt it because they don't know what is in the packages usually before they open it so they film it anyway, and I don't think they would have any reason not to post it, even if it was creepy. I remember there being a really creepy mail bag a while back and it was posted.

Now I really want to know what that code was.
