They were first seen in [[Chapter 3]], advertised by [[Salsa]] under the control of [[Fassad]]. Happy Boxes are implied to be brainwashing devices, hypnotizing people to buy consumer goods from [[New Pork City]], and also leading to the modernization of [[Tazmily Village]]. The villagers in Tazmily Village were skeptical at first, and only three were sold, to [[Abbot]] and [[Abbey]], [[Biff]], and [[Isaac]], respectively. Three years later in [[Chapter 4]], it is shown that nearly everyone in the village owns a Happy Box, excluding a select few. [[Thunder Tower|Lightning]] often strikes the homes of anyone who does not own a Happy Box, namely [[Flint]]'s family, [[Alec]], and [[Reggie]]. | ||
