What looks like a cupcake in a cupcake patty. It is brown with a bobble of whipped cream on top with chocolate drizzle. You can’t tell from the picture (because it looks like a cupcake) but it is actually a cheesecake the size and shape of a cupcake. It is brown because it has a lot of Nutella. The chocolate drizzle is Nutella. The whipped cream is whipped cream.

A writable CD in a cracked jewel case. “One & Only” is scribbled at the top of the disk, “Soulidified” is written on the “contents” line. The jewel case has several stickers on it that say “best value”, “exclusive” and “previously unreleased material”. The type of CD is “SMBL” (solidified members initials) and there a buncha numbers that I don’t think it is worth transcribing but probably have some Easter-egg type meaning that I can’t be bothered to investigate.
