Yikes, I noticed a new flashlight promotion that includes something like that. There is a thank-you letter from the company to the buyer, that comes in a wax-sealed envelope. I wondered what kind of automation they were using. Maybe this explains.

Hmm I guess the wax sealed letter included in the box isn't shown on that page, but the youtube unboxings show it.

Flashlight nerd take: it's cute and the promo is well done, but ridiculously pretentious and the light itself is hokey. Imagine a flashlight you're supposed to hand down to your remote descendants, but has a lipo pouch battery that can't be replaced. Oops.
