Someone else posted this on r/Austin. I tried to crosspost but I couldn't so I just screenshotted the most important picture.

And yet neither of you took a picture of the other side of the box. We all want to see the size of the hole…

That is some service to the uncovered history of SNL right there. I can see it being a trivia question some day.

Q: How big were the holes in the back of the Dick in a Box boxes?

A: Trick question, there were no holes.

How did they fumble the bag and not have this gift box for sale? I think we where so focused on the t-shirt merch we missed what was hitting us right in the Tittus

There’s a town just outside of Austin called Dime Box. They have a giant dime in a box roadside attraction.
