Could you just let me off at the next stop, driver?

You KNOW women think about these things, right? You KNOW this room is co-ed, right?

Sounds like an asshole who commented on one of my blog posts.

And I didn't get one of these spoons with my O-Cha order. Maybe because I got a sakura bark scoop.

Trust me, you would likely never use it anyway.

Speaking of O-Cha packaging. I got the all new Yame Gyokuro and the Chiran Yutaka Midori today. You gotta love Japanese packaging, seriously. I always feel like I bought myself a present with the beautiful nitro flushed foil bags.

I keep these, for what I have no idea, but I can't just throw them away. I guess it is kind of similar to how pu collectors keep there wrappers.

I also have a hard time parting ways with some vendor packaging. Some of the best really seem like a treat.

I don't know, I like Japanese packaging on the onset, but when I think about it, it's one of those things where you realize that you're paying for it in the end. Yes it's really pretty, but do you like the notion that you're paying more for it just to be pretty. As compared to say a lupicia bag w/o the frills and just a sticker slapped on it.

(Note, this is in reference purely to the outward facing portion of the packaging, i.e. non functional portion.) Nitro flushed airtight bags are always welcome and I welcome paying for that as it has a functional benefit.

LOL, it is a lot cheaper than an excessively pretty wife who spends tooo much money on pampering.

I can only say, I may pay for the packaging, but it brings a smile to my face each time, truly cheap pleasure.

Yep, I felt bad throwing the wrapping out. My first o-cha package, on the other hand, came unceremoniously wrapped in the crumpled pages of the Japanese paper's adult entertainment section.

Actually, I think he photographed it and put it somewhere where we were able to see it. Pretty funny stuff. I guess Kevin knows more about Brandon than we do! If we ask nicely, the file may still be around somewhere that he could link us to it.
