Hello! Today I want to share what I think is a funny video. My humor might be slightly twisted, but this video explains some of the experience I had when buying food and drinks in Japan.
IT WAS A SCAM ALL ALONG?!
I often buy one of those whipped-cream fruit sandwiches, and often think that something feels off when I ate it. Turns out it wasn't my imagination, and it is in fact a common experience for the common folk like I.
And some beef bowls or bentos from seven eleven also don't have that much volume in it. I just thought I was getting what I paid for but turns out not everyone felt the same way. Whenever I buy a rice bowl with beef in it, it's always just 1 cm tall worth of meat, and the rest of it is just rice. It is also the same as some restaurants, where they would give a lot of rice and little meat. Just like Japanese omurice, places like Hoshino cafe serve their "beef stew omurice with demiglace sauce" with a 8:2:1 ratio of rice:egg:beef. I could count 2-3 small pieces of beef for a whole serving of "omurice". The egg is also very thin.
Other examples are drinks like Starbucks. Starbucks in Japan is quite pricey and they don't give as much volume as other countries from what I have seen.
It's just funny how the higher ups thought they could keep getting away with these "shortages". They have cut too many corners. I like how a lot of people have realized it, and united to express their disapproval.
Until next time!
Oh man! That's terrible!! This is why I don't eat anything except breat and bananas from the supermarket!
