Unexpected item in box, new opportunity:: Unofficial contest.

sohmageek posted a pic said Mon, Aug 31st 2015 at 7:37am ET

My Ooma just arrived. Which means tomorrow better be a great item or a run of 9 months in the making is over. :( but. In the box I had a handwritten note.

Now. I'm going to kee it interesting. Whoever can guess (meh employees are excluded from this one) what extra was in my box (info on the box was: 13x10x5 normal box, 2.3lbs) gets a prize :). It will likely be small..But hey why not, Meh gave me something. I'll give something else to somebody. Maybe it will make a chain. Maybe we can make it the whole month of September with someone giving something away to someone else for fun? Maybe some asshat will say chain letters suck and that chain prizes suck more!

OK... Thought I should edit and post some rules:
1 guess, If you have guessed before I hit save I'll give you one more. I'll pick the person that is the closest tomorrow night. That means only @medz has a 2nd chance.
