  "Osama Bin Laden's Animal Crossing Save" is certainly a new sentence I've never heard before. 👀

  I am morbidly obsessed with Osama’s hard drive to an unhealthy degree. The fact that, at any point in time in the mid to late 2000’s, you could be playing Counterstrike with the actual most wanted terrorist in the world is further evidence that whatever created this universe has some strange sense of humor

  I used to work for McDonalds. There's probably 3 or 4 products every year that are released in limited test markets and generally have minimal to no advertizing. Those products often never see a full release. For example, the Southern Chicken Biscuit was only available in certain areas for a limited time and had minimal promotion. I even went to a giant corporate event as part of training at one point where I learned about several products in other test markets from throughout the previous year that I'd been completely unaware of. As for the McLobster, that has more to do with the logistics of moving fresh lobster around the nation, so it's only available in areas where that is feasible.

  one thing I love about your channel is the “let’s get right into it” vibe. I’ve seen a lot of channels like yours add super long pauses and / or talk really slow in order to boost video length and add a creepy effect, but all it does is take me out of the video. please please please never change that!

  Every time I hear or come across the Caretaker online, I instantly close the tab and try to forget about it. This isn't because the music is bad, but it's quite the opposite. The music just affected me so much that waves of sadness come over me whenever I think about it. The Caretaker accomplished what every artist yearns for.

  Shrimp McBites is HILARIOUS. I remember those, I lived around there, and everyone I knew hated them lmao. That's so wild. I didn't realize it was a "lost media" situation

  The lost power metal band actually sounds like a really good band that, based on nobody knowing who they were, seems to have, unfortunately, never taken off.<br><br>Also, three locations in total for a product across the span of a month really IS exclusivity!

  I would love to see Osama&apos;s save! That would be completely surreal! A innocuous, safe glimpse into the mind of a monster.

  I love that this is overall a wholesome and charming look at lost media! Lots of people tend to focus on incredibly dark or NSFL type lost media, so it&apos;s very refreshing to see about the more lighthearted mysteries (well, the animal crossing one may have a dark connection, but even then it&apos;s animal crossing. Lol)

  There is a similar mystery to the Shrimp McBites packaging to be found in the lost Fish McBites lip syncing app. In 2012-2013 McDonald&apos;s advertised an app to promote Fish McBites that gave you a variety of mouths that would sing a song about the product. I remember my brother downloading the app on our iPod and one of the mouths singing about Shrimp McBites. I always thought it was weird because the item was never mentioned in the commercial and I never saw it advertised anywhere else. I live in the South and have never been to any of those McDonald&apos;s, but I distinctly remember the Shrimp McBites.

  Mcdonalds is the MVP for responding with such a detailed response about Shrimp Mcbites. That&apos;s really cool.

  &quot;The Fallen King&quot; sounds really familiar to me but I wouldn&apos;t even begin to know who made it. My guess is that I&apos;ve heard similar songs and my brain is trying to tell me that was it
