Man imagine if he'd grabbed a bunch of 'old' comic books from the 50s & 60s and dumped them in there when he was making the capsule!

Neat to see him reconnect with things that were important to him when he was a kid, especially his Jamaica obsession. I just wish he hadn't skipped over the newspapers so quickly.

Very cool.... now us kids have Reddit

Cool video, but "found" my ass. more accurately "Guy who buried something goes back and unburries it"

The candy was probably a mistake haha.
