    Not gonna lie, i know what a cassete tape is, listened to them in highschool. I orginally thought this was gonna be a tin foil hat joke. Its a “head cleaner” (memory eraser from men on black) But i didnt know that cassetes players needed cleaned. Thanks for posting, i have learned somthing today!

      No problem. I’ll give you a slightly deeper dive- if you were very into cassette tapes, you cleaned the tape heads manually with a long q-tip with cleaning fluid on it and used a demagnetizing wand. The tapes cleaning were the cheap version of that and did run the risk of scratching the tape heads if any grit got on the cleaning tape.
