Japanese oddities

Stores that sell Japanese products are very popular here in Taiwan. I enjoy going to them and browsing, just because the Japanese are insane and I always find peculiar items. Today I thought I’d share some of my finds with you.

I didn’t get the whole thing, but it reads “True love is like Big Foot. Everybody talks about it, But nobody has ever found it. Don’t worry, I’m not going to sell you to an ear-duster.” What is an ear-duster?

Indeed.

Finally, a water nozzle. Except it’s written phonetically again. I don’t know, maybe “Waterr nozuru” is the actual Japanese pronuncation for this thing, but I highly doubt it.

A water nozzle... sort of.
