That exists? I've only heard of the Mint one.

Shouldn't all this chat be going on in the kitchen?

Holy crap! It does look a little unappetizing as the reviewer says, but the concept sure makes me hanker for a taste! Thanks, Bluey! I'm not sure it this will be enough! I had no idea there were so many flavors!

Japan alone specializes in crazy flavors and a variety that are amazing to behold. My favorite was the passion fruit as well as the cherry blossom flavor also known as Sakura. The US in the past few years has started to get a collection but it was kind of news lost understandably during the pandemic height of problems etc. I was not successful in finding the other flavors for the most part. I like that guys ridiculous and snarky sense of humor with reviewing things and he tells me about all the foods coming out that I should not eat that I still will try to find and eat.

I did see all the other flavors with their names in a language I could not read. Some of the fruit ones looked good! (I could tell by the pictures or English translations in the Google Images tab.)
Aren't there importers that ship this stuff out in the U.S.? Or also those candy companies that have old kinds of sweet treats long unseen but recipes purchased and new editions manufactured?

For Marked up prices you can get some on Amazon. If you're very lucky and live near a well stocked Asian supermarket such as the korean-based h Mart or a Japanese grocery store or even a generic Asian grocery store you might sometimes see it but they tend to be limited to things like the green tea ones which are nice but I like the exotic flavors and that's rare.
I'm not sure what you mean by the purchased recipes and brought back stuff do you mean places that carry old candy or places that are started production again of Necco wafers and Valentine's Day hearts? That was a situation of the company making them I guess when bankrupt sold and another company bought them and started making it again.

For purely old-fashioned treats I still get gummy kola bottles They still make those wax bottles filled with sugary colored flavored liquid and the wax lips of course. Dots on a strip. There are stores that specialize in old-fashioned candy there's one in Manhattan I used to go to as a kid with family.

That was a situation of the company making them I guess when bankrupt sold and another company bought them and started making it again. I guess I combined the two types of bringing old favorites back, Bluey. I was specifically thinking of a soda called Delaware Punch. I found it on a website that has lots of sodas and I started searching just for it. My sister used to love it, and pronounced it "Del awarey" Punch. It was good! I have been on alert at places like BevMo when picking up the odd soda and not found until... I saw an episode of Huell Howser's PBS show with this soda store in Los Angeles called Galco's Soda Pop Stop. Here's the story of how the lost beverage was reincarnated: Red Ribbon Pennsylvania Punch story

Callie's Candy in the Poconos PA. Store since the 50s. Had a sister store mainly pretzels sadly went or of business. But the candy one still open. Some of which they make themselves. I recall when we went 80s to 90s for family vacation seeing the chocolate making demos. Also some wacky flavor stuff. Tutti frutti popcorn is great. No longer make the crazy flavor potato chips though. I got some assorted stuff for the first time in like 25 years since we last went. Too far now to drive but mail order doable.

Yay for mail/online orders!
I used to be excited to go to The Candy Palace on Main Street at Disneyland. At first I got Rock Candy, but later I got into Chocolate Licorice- Intro's Dog knows what it is made of! I liked the weird flavor, which since back then I didn't like chocolate (! I know, right?) made sense. It did not taste like chocolate any more than Incredible Edibles tasted like candy. Ptttewwwee! If we have cancer it is because of Mattel!

I just completed Mother, a game from the Nintendo era, and Mother 3, a game from the Gameboy Advance era, having never played either before. I was only familiar with the second game in the series, released in the U.S. as Earthbound on the Super Nintendo. The first game was kind of slow, but Earthbound and Mother 3 were both fun, RPGs with a cartoonish sense of humor.

I've just had 8 hours sleep, less a couple of bathroom breaks. That's a new thing to me. Or it's so rare it feels new. 💤

I hiked for just under 8 hours today and that's a bit of a record for me or close to with a few surpassing it. Was very rocky terrain basalt volcanic scree and a lot of gnarly roots so it's real slow going. Wasn't really worth it honestly. The first half was nice then it just got mononous and exhausting. Trying to get my stamina up in service of improving my health.
