The video cassette slides out through the bottom of the box, so you would normally never open the top flaps. If you did, however, you would discover three phrases printed on the hidden, inside facings. They read, "They Might Be Fake", "They Might Be Lies", and "They Might Be Big Big, Fake Fake Lies". This is, of course, a reference to the self-titled song from Flood.
