A country’s snacks as gifts, pt. II

I think I accidentally became a shopaholic in Japan, because their internal consumer market is so vibrant. It's really remarkable, and unexpected. I usually have a very high threshold for buying things, but I am such a sucker for the fact that the Japanese put tasteful art on literally everything, including their consumer products.

You'd assume, given how globalized our world is, that these goods would easily already available on Amazon or something, but they're really not. There's a lot of outright *quality* put into these goods that, goodness gracious, I've never seen before in my life.

I'm flying NRT-LAX right now and at the airport 7-eleven I bought a ton of snacks to bring home to family. I think that 7-eleven knows people have a preference for this because this one seemed particularly stocked with a rich diversity of snacks. So there you have it, folks. Not to mention the suitcases of gifts I bought, I'm about to become a Japanese Santa Claus.
