    I miss manuals.

    Used to rip open the shrink wrap with my teeth and pour over the manual in the backseat of the car on the way home when I was a kid.

          Oh yes! It’s also so similar to that “new computer smell” when a laptop’s fans would kick on for the first time out of the box. I dunno if that’s a thing anymore…

          That smell is Christmas to me. That was the only time we typically got new NES or Super NES games, and lord I loved that smell of fresh print and plastic.
