Hey Marvo – where’d your sister get this? I know someone who would love it; regardless of sodium content.

“My goodness, Pomai. I can’t believe you know what Keroppi is too!!”

Psh, who doesn’t know Keroppi?

You guys remember the Keroppi game at Shirokiya?

Good times, good times.

@Neil the hammer: ::whispers:: She can't be stopped. @Molly: Pfff!!!! I'm a guy. I DON'T READ INSTRUCTIONS. Or look at pictures. I just put 2 and 2 together. Sometimes they equal 4. Sometimes they equal 3. Sometimes they equal a tilde. Also, of course I know what ochazuke is. Ocha means tea and zuke means something that I probably didn't learn during my 2.5 years of Japanese language in college. (Yeah, I failed to meet the C requirement one semester.). @Chris: Soldiers can easily be seen with that bad boy, unless they're in a Sanrio store.

The Hello Kitty M-16 you mentioned actually exists.

I kid you not, see for yourselves:

I can’t believe you didn’t know you were eating dry ochazuke mix and not furikake. Heh, heh, my Japanese co-workers are going to say “Eeeh, baka jya nai no?” and I’ll say “Yes, especially since there is a picture of ochazuke on the front of the package.”

Wait, do you know what ochazuke is? In its’ purest form, it’s basically rice with hot tea poured over it. Your purported “furikake” was meant to be diluted with water. It would have been (slightly) less salty that way.

My goodness, Pomai. I can’t believe you know what Keroppi is too!!

@Orchid64: But the other Sanrio characters do and she probably uses it on them to maintain her Sanrio superiority. @Erin: I shall try it the next time I cook rice. You explanation makes sense since that's what it looks like I was supposed to do from the picture on the packaging. Damn Japanese products and their kanji that I can't read, except for the numbers 1-10. @Heidi: You must REALLY hate rice. @Bryan: I'm surprised the product and packaging is void of any pink. Makes it seem less feminine. Although, pink nori would be very disturbing. I recently had pink arare and I didn't feel right eating it. @Woodenhand: ::whispers:: Hello Kitty is evil @Pomai: I'm not a fan Hurricane Popcorn. I don't like the combination of arare, nori and popcorn. It just seems weird to me. Maybe I'm just a popcorn purist and prefer artery-clogging butter. @twig: I would try that. I'd also like to try Hello Kitty Cup Noodles ramen, but I have yet to find it.

you should try the hello kitty cake in a cup.

cup + egg + microwave = pink cake.

You should try sprinkling some of that Hello Kitty Rice Seasoning Mix on Hello Kitty Popcorn. That just might turn out to be some darned oishii Hello Kitty Hurricane Popcorn.

Don’t forget to wash it down with a Kerokeropi Lime Soda.

I thought they might try to at least color the nori pink or something in honor of Thee Kitty. I remember buying Doraemon branded furikake or ochazuke mix a long ago and being disappointed. The stuff was pure MSG. I have to say I eat ochazuke on occasion when there’s nothing around but rice, but if I can make it without the packet I’ll do that. Leftover salted misozuke salmon and torn up nori works pretty well

Is it bad that I actually recoiled when I saw the bottom image!?

I think what you have there is broccoli raab (野沢菜)-flavored chazuke (茶漬け) mix. That’s why it was so salty, and why there were little balls of rice cracker included. You should try getting a small bowl of rice, putting a packet on top, and adding some (not too much not too little) water to it and see if you get chazuke.

I’m pretty sure that Hello Kitty shaped pieces of seaweed are one of the indicators of an upcoming apocalypse.

By the way, there is one tiny flaw in your realistic abduction scenario. I’m pretty sure Hello Kitty has no gag rags because she has no mouth. It’s kind of like how there are no sunglasses in a world where everyone is blind.
