Super-size me

The economies of scale seem to function differently in Japan. Buying a 24 beer crate results in a saving of a few yen over buying 24 individual cans. A stick of French bread roughly doubles in price as you scale the volume and the same goes for numerous and sundry other staples.

Then you have this thing with Coke. I quite like the idea that there are plenty of people out there who will choose to buy the smaller can.

I have no idea where this picture was taken. I'm glad I took it though.

Objection overruled! Eye-bleach or no, the defendant must clarify the status of his feeble constitution.

Multiple objections on identical grounds will be held in contempt of court.

I was using my special noob powers for the multiple post. Nice trick eh?

To be fair, seeing you dump would have been fine if I hadn't done multiple mis-clicks to your blog since your ling is located in the rather eminet position between fark and boingboing

Anyone using 'noob' in anything other than a gaming forum deserves eye bleach.
