If you have watched the movie Grave of the Fireflies you will definitely remember the candy drops featuring in the movie. After the movie hit the cinemas the interest in candy drops boomed, resulting in candy drops in very different flavors!

How about some ramen flavored candy drops?

Sakuma drops with sauce Katsu ramen noodle flavor

Or some Taco Rice flavored candy drops?

Or rather have some Sapporo beer with those Taco Rice drops?

You don't like ramen? What about some sushi/seafood flavored drops then?

Sakuma drops with Sushi and seafood flavor

Of course you will need some sake with that sushi!

Unfortunately without alcohol. :(

And this one is definitely the YUMMIEST of them all:

Sakuma drops with Garlic flavor
Yes, they are garlic flavored! Always handy when some vampire is nearby! ;)

In case you're wondering how they taste, let's see what this guy thinks of them:

... so this is definitely a weird experience.. :D

And there are plenty more weird food drops for sale at J-List

I've been advertising for JList.com/JBox.com for a while now and I actually wanted to know what I was advertising for!

I always thought the Japanese driving marks were a fun item to own, so I decided to buy the beginners mark from them! I could very well have chosen for the senior driving mark, but the video of the Carina Jeune made me decide for the beginners mark...

Japanese beginner driver mark: how it arrived

I was a bit amazed by the price: this mark only cost me only 9 dollars including shipping! I've seen these for sale at some huge JDM site for sale for 15 dollars without shipping!

So I ordered the item and expected it to take a week or two to arrive. I was quite surprised when a package arrived only 8 days later!

Japanese beginner driver mark: unpacked

It was nicely packaged in a thick envelope with a big carton behind the mark to prevent it from bending. Nice!

Japanese beginner driver mark: how big is it?

I was a bit surprised of its size: it is 4.5 inch wide and 7 inch high!

Japanese beginner driver mark: how to apply

From the instruction I understood you need to apply this one clearly visible to the inside of the rear window of your car. This mark has a suction cup (a magnetic one is also available!), so you can reuse it in any car you like. ;)
There is also one needed at the front of the car but I didn't buy that one since I'm not living in Japan and this is supposed to be a novelty. ;)

BTW: note that JBox.com is the SFW variant of JList.com, so if you are interested in bizarre Japanese stuff (tenga, tentacles, school uniforms, etc.) you can also browse Jlist.com!
