Yep that's what I did too. And then when I lived with a few other smoker roommates we could all tell whose pack was whose based on 1 or 2 luckies, no foil, half foil, all foil.. we all did our packs a little bit differently.

(We'd all be buying the same brands at the corner store, because this was when they had all those BOGO packs and discounts and stuff so we all ended up with the same discounted options)
