Quite a few years ago there was a magazine called "CD Review". The
editor, Wayne Green, advertised a device called "Balonium" for I believe
$3.95. It was a green marker pen for the edge of CDs. As the name
indicates, Wayne was not serious (but I think the device COULD be
ordered)!


Uh, unfortunately, there was (is?) a real product called "CD
Toplight" which is precisely that. Additionally some CD
manufacturers had CD's with pre-printed green edges.

And it all started in rec.audio some years ago as an April
Fool's joke.
