Spotted at Marukai

I’m not a regular at Marukai, but that’ll change since I just signed up for membership. What did I spy while perusing this little slice of Japan?

See the cool Gundam Pepsi cans? Love the artwork but abhor the $4 price tag. That’s $4 per can, a regular 12-oz can. The Darth Vader Pepsi Energy Cola looks more intriguing since it’s not your everyday Pepsi, and I believe it’s cheaper at less than $3 per can.

If soda ain’t your thing, how about Kit Kat varieties. Raspberry sounds good, but you know you have to try Vanilla Ice (Ice Baby) first. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it! The other icon that transcends cultures is Oreos. I’m not sure how chocolate pie Oreos look like strawberries, but hey, coming from Japan, I can believe it.

Lastly, this one leaves me scratching my head – Coconut Long Boys Juniors. Say what? Subliminal message you think? The words, “boys,” “nuts,” and “long” with pictures of coconut balls and the long cylindrical candies? This one frightened me.
