Presented for your consideration, what may be the strangest videogame schwag of all time. Genuine, sealed, KLAX-brand cigarettes. Passed to me by Dave Akers, creator of Klax, these re-badged Mild 7s were given out at a Japanese arcade show. Klax was created in the “Winners Don’t Use Drugs” era of arcade games, and these cigarettes have a helpful anti-drug message as well, right where the pesky warning label would be on a pack of US smokes!

Got a stranger tchotke? Lemme know about it!
