It was probably one of the ones that says complaint department, take a number and the number releases the pin. That's the joke anyway.

I’m pretty sure this qualifies as “inert”

That's sad. When I was a kid my brother and I bought a couple of inert grenades from the army surplus store and practiced throwing them in the back yard. We even figured out that you could take the spring out of a ball point pen and put it between the lever/spoon and the igniter and it'd make the lever fly off when the pin was pulled, just like in the WW II movies. We had a lot of fun with those.
