More cool Jap stuff
Posted on June 22, 2009
Going through my cupboard I found a stash of these heating pads I picked up from Japan. I had crammed huge wads of the damn things into my luggage so that I could use them during our winter photo shoots, and in typical Charles fashion they were promptly forgotten about when I returned to Sydney. For anyone who works outdoors in the cold, these are the shit.
There are two types - one with beads which you shake, the other which is thinner and has an adhesive side - and they stay hot for hours on end (word of warning: be careful where you stick them because they can get HOT!) Off the top of my head they cost around $8 for ten and can be picked up at any convenience store in Japan. Chemists in Sydney have similar products, but since here they’re marketed as injury relief pads they’re sold at $8+ each. What a rip.
Note to self: remember to use them!
Ramming home how cool Japanese stuff is are these chewy lollies Garth picked up. Apparently they’re - of all things - dragonfruit flavour.
“Kinda like what a sugary eraser would taste like” was my initial comment as I gnawed at it. But then the red gummy-like stuff in the centre came out. Yummy!
