An inflatable game ball containing a noise suppression device and a method for inflating the game ball are described. Stress is applied to a memory cell through the use of a bitline precharge stress operation, which utilizes the bitline pairs coupled to a memory cell to attempt to flood the memory cell with charge and thereby attempt to cause the memory cell to unexpectedly switch state. The package also includes an applicator having a porous material pad, where the applicator is attached to the stiff sheet over the score by two hinges.
