It’s the collaboration edition with the cartoon character タイツくん (Mr. Tights), and there are many more goods like this on their website.
Specifically on this package. At the top there are タイツくん (Mr. Tights) and 大人のドリトス (Doritos for adults, which I should note doesn’t mean it’s adult-restricted, they just put that to many food and drink to mean those can be enjoyed by adults).
In the main image, we have 電気アンマ復活, revival by an electronic massager, which is a mischief game played by one person holding the other person’s legs, stepping on their genitals, and turning around the feet, mimicking an electronic massager, as is shown by the characters.
In the bottom left, it says ブラックペッパーとソルト味, black pepper and salt flavor. In the bracket, 竹炭入り, added bamboo charcoal, which is also quite common in Japanese snacks, because people think it’s healthy.
Well fun fact time I guess: in Taiwanese, bullets are sometimes refered as "peanuts." "Be my guest and have some peanuts" can actually mean "I will shoot you dead."
But seriously, they have some crazy allergies there. No idea why, probably because of all the artificial food and contamination in general. It’s just not a very healthy place to live.
If you’re in Europe, we’ll I’ve got news for you, 2/3rds of European schools have at least one child with an anaphylactic peanut allergy. So peanut allergies are not just from excess freedom it would seem.
I think it’s mostly people in the thread are over exaggerating how common it actually is to ban them for a humorous effect. Maybe overly litigious society, schools don’t want to be sued because some dumb bully throws a peanut at a kid who can die from it. Peanut bans are becoming a thing in Europe though. A quick googling will show that. I found a proposal in European parliament. Here’s the BBC talking about banning them on all public transport:
But all that aside, the increasing allergies across the industrialized world is really interesting though, and not a United States specific thing. A lot probably has to do with eradication of parasites. Much of the immune system parts responsible for allergies don’t have any role in response to bacteria or virus, but are intended to fight off parasites. And this is a gross over simplification, but the basics are without any parasites to fight off (since they’ve been eradicated in the industrialized world) it gets dysregulated and starts reacting to benign targets.
Other schools can have kids with such severe allergic reactions that it’s the simplest option to ban them. This is mainly primary schools. I’m not saying if that’s right or wrong, there’s too many variables.
Kids can’t be expected to perfectly manage their health problems, that’s why at most schools yes the kids may have an EpiPen, but the school is also generally required to have one for each kid with a registered allergy.
Is this like a new thing? I don’t remember in the 80s or 90s schools having any kind of such peanut policies. Yet everyone here is posting like this is completely normal.
Is there some kind of peanut allergy outbreak epidemic going on with children now? Should someone be investigating this?
Or 30 years ago, all the kids with peanut allergies were home schooled and kept hidden from society?
That’s awesome if it works. But I had to provide IT support at a school once that had to specifically tell even contractors to please not being anything with peanuts onto the school grounds. They had a kid with a severe peanut allergy and a habit of licking everything (behavioural “quirk” to put in nicely, I had literally been licked on the elbow).
Admittedly that was only once in almost 20 years of doing IT support in schools. But I am more than happy to sacrifice some personal liberty in that kind of situation.
Ironically, when I was in middle school it was a common joke to lick people’s elbows when they weren’t paying attention. The joke was that they might not notice it at first, since elbows supposedly had few nerve endings.
It was about as common as untying people’s shoe laces, for a while. Meaning: very common.
I was about the same age when my mom got my finger in the car door. We were getting ice cream and my dad sent be from the window of the shop to go deliver moms to her. The door closed on it, but thankfully didn’t lock. I just had to knock on the door with my other hand (she was inside) to get her to open it.
Very painful but no permanent injury.
Ever since, when I’ve been in a similar situation, I either pass through the open window or I actually step into the swing path of the door.
Legit though. I got my finger slammed in the car door but luckily it didn’t lock like that. I could see bone. Even theoretical, thinking about the door locking makes me panic a bit.
Olfactory fatigue, also known as odor fatigue, olfactory adaptation, and noseblindness, is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound.
