Yo peeps! Today while searching for the Stuff of the Day, I knew I found it as soon as I saw this:
Make lunch time into fun time with this Pokéball lunch set! You can wow the lunch crown by packing your bento in this awesome Pokéball! Bento (弁当) is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japan. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. PB&J, I choose you!
And now for
Cirno's Perfect Trivia Class!
Answer to yesterday's question, given by KidA:
The person credited for inventing instant noodle ramen is Momofuku Ando, a Taiwanese-Japanese business man. On August 25 1958, at the age of 48 and after months of trial and error to perfect his flash-frying method, Ando marketed the first package of precooked instant noodles called Chikin Ramen, named after it's original chicken flavor. Chikin Ramen was originally considered a luxury item with a price of ¥35, around six times that of traditional udon and soba noodles at the time. Today Chikin Ramen retails around ¥60 which is approximately one third the price of the cheapest bowl of noodles in a Japanese restaurant.
Today's question:
Approximately how many vending machines are there in Japan?
If you would like to submit your answer you can send it to cirno@animecharactersdatabase.com, or send me a PM. I will give you the answer tomorrow.
