Gas and Go

Apparently some people followed the directions on the front of this box:
Just attach the handlebars, add gas, and you can start driving.
And I’m sure they did. And I’m sure it worked fine.
For one time.
After that, it was probably hard to start. And they probably started complaining to the manufacturer (and/or the store where they bought the product).
And, after some intensive customer service work, they probably had some satisfied customers.
And they probably had a lesson for their packaging/labelling/marketing group.
I counted three separate stickers – one on the seat (so you would see it before you sat down to drive it), one on the gas cap (so you would see it as you went to fill it with that initial gas), and one on the handlebar assembly.
Plus they included a container of engine oil, so that those who prepared for their purchase by reading the instructions on the outside of the box would not have to go buy it.
I am, of course, conjecturing about how those stickers came to be. But I bet it was not the original plan to place those stickers everywhere.
Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually.
