Nobody Noticed Old J&F Martell Cordon Bleu Hiding in Red Box for 28 Years

Unbelievable, how this Cordon Bleu from Martell reappeared.

Here is the message from our reader: “The bottle has been In my room on top of a book case my whole life, and I’m 28. It made it all the way through me going to Highschool and College undetected. How, I have no idea. One day when I was cleaning out my old room I decided I’d see what was in the red box with the gold lid, I assumed it was some type of christmas decoration that my mother wanted to put up but keep out of the attick. What I found was a surprise to say the least.”
