I can tell because of having seen some edges in my time.
Totally not shopped.

Well, was it?
Probably nothing as severe as the plastic blister package on the Riovolt MP3 player I opened a decade ago.
Kitchen scissors wouldn't cut it. Sheet metal shears were unavailable. So, I used the well-honed 6" blade on my Gerber pocket knife.
In these days of attractive cardboard packaging for with warning labels for overly-sharp boxes, I think the thing that I miss the most is the part about cleaning the blood off of the new shiny toy after applying a tourniquet in barely-late attempt to minimize splash damage.
The modern out-of-the-box experience is, frankly, quite lacking.
