Now that's interesting!

Wonder what it says.

Also, since it's tied to the NFotB, I'd hope they donate sime money per purchase. I'd snag one either way.

I was wondering that as well.

I would guess it says hot wheels. Or hw maybe

Too short to be Hot Wheels.

I think it is 3 or 4 letters long, but I'm no expert.

Hot Wheels leadin' the way! (to more inclusive product lines)

I don't really think a toy car line needs to worry about bring inclusive

Seems to be purely promotional because why the hell would it need it? On the toy itself, I mean.

Addendum: Why am I being downvoted over this? I would genuinely like to know. I'm the son of a blind father who has been blind all his life. I have worked with the visually impaired for several years. If you think there's something I don't understand the purpose of, tell me, enlighten me if you think I'm wrong.

Oh yeah totally, like when they paint them orange... I mean, that's only a sensory input, why the hell do they need colours. They should just keep the packaging for the hint of braille.

Orange_comfort t1_jefd4ec wrote on March 31, 2023 at 4:35 PM

Painting them is only fair. I think it'd be uninclusive to make anything for the visually impaired have no colors. Even if you're blind, you want your stuff to look good.

Which of course makes me wonder why the hell they didn't paint it...

Sorry, I think my post needed a /s. There is nothing wrong with white, and plenty of toy cars have normal writing on them - why is this different? I know some ow vision people can only see shades, so white is likely helpful for them.
