This happened to me in 2017 in Mario Odyssey purchased from Walmart, just a single piece of plastic inside of a properly shrink-wrapped case. The return counter said he had seen it many times before already. How has Nintendo not cracked down on their manufacturers allowing this for almost 8 years?
Edit: It would take nothing more than a window in the front case paper to show the game chip inside, not exactly rocket surgery.
Maybe they tranqed the ostrich?
My research concludes that the only way the Ginger and Boots could have fucked an ostrich is if it was a dead ostrich.
