![]() | Re: vending machines I've seen some on their airports and they drop stuff like: (besides food, water, and soda of course) Gashapons....for those not familiar with term, gashapons are basically capsule toys. Along with anime's globalization, the Gashapon industry is experiencing a boost in popularity even outside Japan. They are considered as collectibles and their prices can be high depending on the rarity. The term gashapon is also used to describe the vending machines that drop 'em toys. Pens, odd-looking ones. Random souvenirs ranging from traditionally designed handkerchiefs to wallets. False teeth, YES, false teeth. But i think they're of toy quality not dental quality. yes i've also seen vending machines that drop socks. Like the pens, they also looked odd to me. Bonnets designed after Sanrio characters. This, i tried. I wanted a Badtz Maru but ended up having a Hello Kiitty instead. Collectible cards and Stickers Cellphone accessories lie wrist straps, bags, laces, and some cutesy things that i'm not familiar with. |

click to show spoiler o.O Observe! Oh and there's Pocari Sweat...Eww... click to show spoiler Pocari Sweat is famous all over the world because it has an odd name that makes you think you're drinking someone's sweat, although this product contains no sweat. What it really is a refreshing sports drink that puts various chemicals back into your body that you lose while sweating. (Pocari comes from the Japanese word pokkari, which means "floating like a cloud").
