> Maybe a retailer might have a zapzap machine but lots of cards aren’t imprinted these days so that’s a non starter too.

When I Google "zapzap machine" this comment is the only result, but after looking around on Wikipedia, I see this is a typo for "zipzap".

Is this really the only time in history someone has typoed zipzap as zapzap? I guess so.

Haha yeah I guess so! Last time I used one was in the previous millennium.
