Started by tofugu · 10 months ago

We’re halfway through Black Friday (the American tribute to consumerism) by now, so I thought I’d share with you the top trendy, must-have items that debuted in Japan this year.

I had the mega mac too when I was in Japan this summer. There is nothing really special about it, other than it is HUGE and that it can give you an instant heart attack. After trying Mos Burger, I'd skip the McDonalds anyday.

Ah… Billy Blank and his dear, dear boot camp. Memories of P.E. 9 flood the memory blanks… I can see him in his red tights and exercise boots punching the air and doing ridiculous stretching kicks now. You’d never think a guy like this would get Japanese groupies… and housewives no less! xD

I heard Black Friday was very good this year in terms of line-ups and crowds. Many friends went over from here in Canada and reported that even the border lines were easy pickings.

Thank God we don’t have the Mega Mac here in North America. Can you imagine how those obese people would gorge themselves on not three big macs… but two mega macs instead! x.x
And let's face it... most Japanese people don't have much around to spare.. they can afford a couple pounds on a burger this size.
