Get the batten the hatchesmug. The worst Roblox event to ever be held, with The Haunt being a close second. Most of the games in it are pure slop and apparently Roblox used generative AI for the eggs. Even Carl the NPC himself hates the event and his game is participating in it. Yes, Roblox games in The Hatch are hating on the event. Not to mention the official game for it has a <30% like rating. The event proves that Roblox support AI and that they either don't play the games on their platform, or they love to glaze Sprunki for some reason.
A Roblox player: What the fuck Roblox?? I'm not playing "Find The Rainbow Toilet Morphs backrooms" and "Sprunki Killer" for an egg!
Another Roblox player: I know, right? The Hatch fucking sucks.

Get the Hatchingmug. All cars since 2001 have had a trunk emergency release (located inside of the trunk). This has prevented mafia types, hit men, etc. from using newer cars when kidnapping victims.
Joey owed like 6 dimes to Vinny's crew, so they picked him up and shoved him in the trunk. Lucky for him, the numbnuts didn't realize their car had an Italian escape hatch, and he busted out of there at the first stop sign.
