Apparently the story goes that this 20-25 year old bottle was found in 2016(?), which went viral online, and Nintendo wound up sending the guy an unopened SNES anyway. (Plus a bunch of other stuff)

    It was actually more profitable for the business to accept the bottle cap because the vendors accepted the bottle caps back and gave them an additional eight cents.

    I’m sure that doesn’t seem like a lot but I mean hey you get an extra couple of bucks you make some kids happy everyone wins. Most businesses typically run on net 30 payments anyway so it’s not like it’s a huge ordeal for them to hold on to a couple of bottle caps for a week.
