Looks like these haven't been reviewed in a bit. As of writing, 1/5/2026, they have changed how they produce these. Mine came in a simple bag, pre-punched. At first I thought they weren't red, but they just have a thin, protective brown paper(?) covering them. The paper is, unfortunately, a little bit tricky to peel back. Ones that were already a little frayed weren't so bad. So maybe just playing with them a few times might "loosen up" the paper to make the removal easier? You need a little fingernail to get 'em going.
I also saw one comment that said they were "too thin." It was an older comment, but I wanted to address it. The most current ones are quite easy to pick up, about the height of two quarters stacked on each other. For the particularly sausage-fingered they may be tricky, but I'd call their size reasonable.
I didn't include a photo because, once the paper is peeled off, they look just like the provided photo.
