I don't recall ever using a Maxell floppy, but their cassettes were the best.

Semi random fact, but there's actually a Vaporwave artist that used a number of Japanese Maxell advertisements in a distorted/looped manner for the better part of a whole album....
Thanks! The album is Fuji Grid TV

blank vhs covers were kinda beautiful
