In the last frame there is a thing that looks like a post it note or a paper stuck to the wall which we don't see in the previous two frames - and they're all supposed to be the same image, only zoomed in. It's too blurry to be read but it appears to have something written on it, any clues as to what that is?
In the before-times people would purchase objects that were displayed on "shelves". They would pick the object up and carry it to a "cashier" who would then look at a small sticker called a "price tag" on the item, and charge the customer that amount.
Still, it's weird that the zoomed-in image came from a different copy of the game than the other two. (Or that they took off the sticker before taking another photo, and then didn't use that new photo for the zoomed-in image.)
I agree with you guys. I just thought it was funny.
Maybe they had to use a different, larger, pic to get anything recognizable? It's an internet mystery.
It could be that the O OP had the tiny kitchen photo first like their sister texted them 'look wtf is on this old game box" and then they just Googled the second larger photo of a game box for context
That's definitely possible. Good thinking
You got the 'membering
Truetrue
Is that like the Shine?
Different movie
What if, like, it's all connected, man
It would have been quite the sight.
You mean the price tag?
Right, thanks! But why is it not present in the previous ones?
It looks like its a different picture taken with a different camera. If it was just zoomed in it would be very blurry. For whatever reason they took a picture of a different box, or got images from multiple sources to make this meme.
Looking at the fringes between colors, the last panel looks upscaled to me. Maybe the AI invented a price sticker?
It's a price tag from Woolco. It looks like it cost $6.xx
Seems like an MRP sticker of the game, 6 dollars or something
Maybe a calendar?
