Rather than spend 25 cents more for a much higher quality cassette, they went with the absolute worst.

And you couldn't open them up to splice them once the player ate them.

Remember those tangled balls of tape along the roadsides? Sort of like high-tech tumbleweeds.

Those cheapskates did the same thing with pre-recorded VHS tapes.

Oh yea, and we didn’t have a choice...we couldn’t buy their product on the higher quality tapes, the ones with the small screws...nope, it was crappy tapes or nothing. I will not be sad to see the labels go the way of the dinosaurs.
