Some time ago, there was a documentary on danish TV, telling about "the
VALO man". Thus guy has a phenomenal memory for records (as LP, Cd, ....),
and collects VALO packages. And what is VALO ? Boxes in which soap for
washing clothes is sold. He can tell from the top of his had when a
packages was made, based on color grading, character fonts, ... He has
about (IIRC) 200 different packages
