Fun at the Japanese store

[Stephen Parks]

I went to a FIT store last night with some friends to browse around and found some intresting items.

I got some nice small bottles that would be good for sauce or spices or sunscreen etc. and are quite light.

I also bought some tea sachets that will be nice for loose leaf tea and coffee. .01oz each.

There were some items I didn't buy but had ultralight potential:

And then there was this…

That last photo made my day…brb sometime Monday when I stop laughing!

omg on the panty marketing.

[Yohei Aoyagi]

These small bottles are often used for soy sauce bottle in bento box.

[Ken Thompson]

will he poop?

"These small bottles are often used for soy sauce bottle in bento box."

They seem to have a reliable seal as long as the cap is fully tightened. And you can see how much is left in the bottle. I'd probably still rely on an eye dropper bottle for DEET though.

I tried those bottles several years ago but did not find them reliable.

[Yohei Aoyagi]

Stephen,

I don't know well about chemical.
I can say the letters "PE" on the bottles means "polyethylene" in Japan.

[Stephen Parks]

Yes, PE means polyethylene here as well, which is good for the bottle, but I don't know what the cap is made of.

[Yohei Aoyagi]

The cap is polyethylene too.

[Stephen Parks]

Thanks!

Have you ever opened your bento box and found that your soy sauce had leaked out?

[Ryan Nakahara]

eventually the plastic will break down from being squeezed too much. but they are really good for mini kits, they sell them all over the place in hawaii. i've seen eye dropper bottles break down and crack also.

[Yohei Aoyagi]

I never seen the leaked bottle in bento box.

[Bob Gross]

Those little bottles work OK as long as you keep them relatively full and you don't take them over a huge altitude increase. However, if you have a big air bubble in one and take it up over a few thousands of feet of elevation, the bubble will squeeze liquid through the cap seal.

And I was so looking forward to more discussion of the men's disposable panties.

[Ben C]

I'm a little off on my poetry. Is that a panty haiku?

I wish we had a Japanese store. That looks fun.

[BlackHatGuy]

"Is that a panty haiku?"

Nah, that would be 5-7-5 syllables, such as:

Bare my covered loins
I am not disposable
But my panties are

[Ben C]

Very deep, Doug. I am still slowing understanding your meaning.

[Stephen Parks]

Now we're talking! I was surprised that the panty subject hadn't received more attention yet.

Doug, great haiku! It made me feel so vulnerable and exposed, yet eager at the same time!

Expect a PM inviting you on a trip to Honeymoon Lake shortly. ;0)

[Jennifer Mitol]

Only on BPL would folks respond to the OPs photos with a discussion of small bottles.

But back to panty haiku:

Japanese panties
One touch could make it happen
Don't throw me away

[Stephen Parks]

"Expect a PM inviting you on a trip to Honeymoon Lake shortly. ;0)"

You know I'm just kidding, right guys?…. Right?…. Guys???

[Stephen Parks]

Panties made for men
We can reach the other side
Dispose after use

[Anonymous]

"You know I'm just kidding, right guys?…. Right?…. Guys???"

Insecure, aren't we? ;0))

[BlackHatGuy]

They seemed so fluffy
So Jen bought them for her guy
Now he's indisposed…..
