Dear Amazon,
I love you, but when I order three bottles of Listerine in Berkeleying December, please try not to ship them in a Berkeleying box that says “Nintendo Berkleying Switch” all over it.
Guess what my kid thinks will be under the tree this year?
(Hint: Not three Berkeleying bottles of Listerine)
Oof
That'll cause some broken hearts! (Not necessarily in your case... but in general!)

That's probably some random small third party reseller using the platform. They just used whatever box they could find
You sir, are screwed.
We're not mad at you dad.... just disapointed...
I agree with you, but I also laughed.
Life is full of disappointment. Learning it a young age makes for a happier adulthood.

Could be, but it might also be a paid promotion by Nintendo. I've received Amazon boxes with all kinds of different things on them, and they were actual Amazon boxes.
This was clearly advertising. It was a new box.
that looks like an amazon box (see the amazon logo under the tape?).... I find it funny/not funny and am just glad it didn't happen to me. yet....
Isn't it fascinating how something can be so cruel, and so amusing at the same time?
To be honest, I'd probably just go buy the damn Nintendo to avoid the wailing and gnashing of teeth on Christmas morning, but I'm a bit of a soft touch.
Heh, at least you didn't get a pack of CPAP mask wipes in an envelope that was supposed to contain an Iron Maiden CD. My inner child was very disappointed.
Amazon has issued a refund of $12.66, but they created a much more complicated issue than three free bottles of Listerine are worth.
No system is mentioned on that advertisement. Maybe get them an N64 or SNES?
There is still time to order before Christmas...
In reply to mtn (Forum Supporter) :
It actually says Switch on the other half of the box.
nintendo paid good money for that promotion..
Listerine may be healthier for kids
I want a switch for Christmas, but it has nothing to do with a video game system.
I had that Nintendo box the other week up here in the great cold north. My reaction was a box like that would be a lot more attractive to porch thieves passing by than the standard brown boxes, I didn't even think of what kids might think though.
