did tp4 bite you?
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Many of them are pretty gross. The roasted tea, the curry, chili, bean paste, peas, muscat. All disgusting. Wasabi might be the worst though. That or the soy bean powder.

Really the apple, coffee, and orange are the only ones worth the exorbitant shipping imo. The rice pudding and banana are pretty good too.

Sounds about right, lol

I think I would try Tim Tams before any of these if I was going to import some sort of snack anyway.

I wish we got them in America regardless, we all know they would fly off the shelves if they said 'limited edition' or something. Same thing with those amazing Doritos and Cheeto flavors they have. As interesting as they sound, I just cannot warrant spending $12 for a bag of Mountain Dew and Pepsi flavored Cheetos :(

Jbox is super cool for ordering bulk weird snacks though, if you don't mind the crazy shipping costs.

There are a few 'international' grocery stores and a couple asian markets in the area, should probably check those too :o
