I'm still savouring the after-images and after-thoughts of my trip to
Japan. One of the things I took dozens of pics of were their
incredible vending machines, which sell virtually everything,
including schoolgirl's panties.... (the Japanese have strange desires)
There must be a market for these
items, and where there is a
market there is always room for a variation. That variation is: My
Girl Panty-Pop
My Girl Panty-Pop is a range of girl's panties which are also on
sale
from a vending machine, but these are different because they are
scrunched up, soaked in a liquidised flavour, then frozen into a rocket shape with a supporting centre
stick for convenient holding.
This means that when delivered they look exactly like frozen
lollipops, which must be licked away to release their kinky
contents.
The machine itself also plays a tune, which is of course an
appropriately altered version of that great 60s pop tune My Boy
Lollipop by Millie (if my memory serves me)
In this case the tune has been rendered with new words and
naturally becomes My Girl Panty-Pop.

Seems as though labelling these as cigarette machines is enough to circumvent the law. [xenzag, Jul 11 2012]

This is just too weird to not reward. Bun. |
|
| |
I have discussed this with Sturton and the
intercalary. We are unanimous. You will hear a car
pulling into your driveway shortly. |
|
| |
How many licks does it take to get to the soiled underpants? |
|
| |
I'm going to pretend I didn't read this one... |
|
| |
//How many licks does it take to get to the soiled
underpants?// Not soiled in this versions. As for number of
licks....that depends on how the tongue characteristics and
action profile. Make one up and report on your findings. |
|
| |
This is why we still have a negative vote option. |
|
| |
I'd bun it again if I could. |
|
| |
//This is why we still have a negative vote option.// I take
it you won't be investing.... but from what I've seen in
Tokyo, these would sell very well. Take a look at their Maid
Cafés sometime. Bizarre. |
|
| |
//As for number of licks....that depends on how the tongue characteristics and action profile. |
|
| |
[xenzag], no need, please disregard, I was riffing on Tootsie pop but that was long ago. |
|
| |
In Japan, is it socially acceptable for a man to walk up to a vending machine and buy some girls panties? Do they get weird looks? Are these machines in broad daylight, or only found in the "red light district"? I'm curious why/how such a thing exists. |
|
| |
// I'm curious why/how such a thing exists. // |
|
| |
The how is pretty simple: it's like a soda machine, only
instead of soda, it dispenses panties. |
|
| |
The why is more complicated. There are some things that
just don't translate well between cultures. Americans, on
the whole, do not understand cricket or snooker, and the
British
largely do not see the appeal of NASCAR or what we
righteously call football. In Afghanistan, there is a popular
sport involving a number of screaming men riding on very
small horses and vying for posession of a dead goat. |
|
| |
Japan seems to me to have
become a sort of
breeding ground for strange fads, trends, obsessions, and
activities that nobody else understands. It is best to simply
accept that this is one of those intrinsically Japanese
things. Without
full immersion into their culture, complete fluency in the
modern Japanese vernacular, a great deal of study, and
asking a number of somewhat awkward questions,
it won't make any sense. |
|
| |
Every culture in the world does things that are virtually
incomprehensible to other cultures. The Japanese, in
keeping with their post-WWII social charter, just do it
more and do it better than enyone else. |

opinion, conjecture, and marginally informed supposition> |

About 5 minutes of 'research' turned up four independent
sources stating that there are two types of panty-
dispensing machines. One type is found in "hot springs
entertainment halls," which sound kind of like a
combination of a bath house, a movie theater/video game
arcade, and a bar. The machines found there are in the
women's locker rooms, and dispense what one blogger
described as "granny panties" for the benefit of women
who, for whatever reason, urgently need a pair of
dry/clean underwear. |
|
| |
The second type of machine does indeed sell "schoolgirl
panties;" I got the impression that these are skimpy and
fashionable, with bright colors and graphics, but provide
more coverage than thongs. The panties are brand new
and unused. This type of machine can supposedly be found
almost anywhere, usually tucked away in an unobtrusive
nook and frequently accompanied by a so-called "pink
machine," which sells cheap porno DVDs and 4"x6"
magazines. One person wrote about finding a schoolgirl-
panty machine at an amusement park, around the back of
a roller coaster, wedged between a Coca-Cola machine
and a machine that sold condoms, tampons, cologne, and
motion-sickness remedies. |
|
| |
There is much suggestion that used-panty machines existed
for a time before being banned by the government, but no
solid
confirmation. Supposedly, teenage schoolgirls would stop
at a porno shop
on their way to school, swap their panties for a brand-new
pair provided by the store, wear them all day, then go
back to the store on the way home and change back into
their own underwear and turning in the once-used pair at
the counter, upon whence they would be paid what
amounted to about $5. As I said, I found nothing solid to
back this up, but three of the four sources I breezed
through (including Snopes) told exactly the same story.
With all of the Moè weirdness that flows out of Japan in a
never-ending stream, I'm inclined to believe it. |
|
| |
// the colossal perversion is mind-boggling especially when otherwise the culture is steeped in stiff-upper-lippery type traditions |
|
| |
Perhaps one begets the other. A less extreme example - American conservatives are the biggest consumers of online pornography. |
|
| |
//In Japan, is it socially acceptable for a man to walk up to
a vending machine and buy some girls panties? Do they get
weird looks? Are these machines in broad daylight// |
|
| |
No one in Japan gives anyone a weird look regardless of
what they are doing. This at least is what I observed in
Tokyo. This is a complex society where honour, extreme
politeness and fear of loss of face are combined. I saw
bizarre extremes coexisting, like a Shinto Shrine
sandwiched
between garish love hotels. |

[marked-for-deletion] flavor (or flavour), gross-out humor (or humour) |
|
| |
I can hardly wait for them to show up here in the States --- I'm rather fond of the flavor "Friday Night After The Disco." I remember making things (like little wooden cabins) out of Popcicle sticks when I was a kid. Boy, is this ever going to liven up Show-And-Tell at the local schoolhouse. I give it two buns up [+][+]. Well done, [xenzag]! |
|
| |
//[marked-for-deletion] flavor (or flavour)// Actually it's
much more than a flavour. In fact there could a totally
flavourless version with just plain frozen water. |
|
| |
//Maybe [MB] would care to expand on that
theory// |
|
| |
Certainly. I am always happy to expand in the
area of sexuality. |
|
| |
I think the idea of English (or, to use a shabby
word, British) perversions is somewhat
overplayed. Or rather, I think we have our fair
share of perversions, but probably not much more
than most other nations. |
|
| |
The Japanese, though, have always puzzled me -
probably because I have no first-hand experience
of their culture. They seem to be obedient and
conformist to a great degree, and this is
something I've noticed in a few other Asian
cultures. I've asked many people in Malaysia
(where there is a similar conformity, and is the
only Asian country I've spent significant time in),
and they
agree that it's a national trait. But in Japan, they
seem to have found ways to escape from this
conformity, whilst still somehow conforming:
things that we would consider bizarre are
accepted as normal. |
|
| |
Perhaps it's a very smart thing to do - to recognize
that some escape from the norm is needed, and
then to tolerate that escapism. |
|
| |
Its Vagina Jam all over again, isnt it. |
|
| |
The above (marked-for-tagline) |
|
| |
All cultures are a little different. One example, British trading ships used to sneak through the straits by western Japan to save a few miles. The Japanese got a bit cheesed off with this intrusion into territorial waters and fired on the ships. The British Navy was sent in to give them a bit of seeing too, bombarded the battery. |
|
| |
Ok, now can you guess what the Japanese said when asked about it - |
|
| |
1) How dare you kill our soldiers. |
|
| |
2) That was really accurate shooting. |
|
| |
3) Somebody set up us, the bomb! |
|
| |
Remind us again why you ever bothered to come back ... |
|
| |
Isn't it time those with whatever bug appears to be up their butt took it elsewhere and stopped spoiling these ideas for the rest of us who don't care about what are obviously ancient grudges? |
|
| |
you want the site all to yourself or something ? get real. |
|
| |
Each poster can use the 'delete' button on their post and its attached annotations to revise the flow of texts to remove the annos they don't want and leave something that they want to portray. |
|
| |
I don't think any amount of annotations, or contents thereof, are going to help this post either way. |
|
| |
Have I missed something here? Can someone enlighten me please? |
|
| |
Not "enlighten" per se, but we could help you
stick your fingers in a live electrical outlet in
the doubtless vain hope of dissuading you
from posting any similar ideas you may be
fementing, inspired by your recent trip. |
|
| |
I said that no amount of annotations is going to change anybody's opinion of the post. |
|
| |
"foment", illiterate Borg. |
|
| |
Ha - funny. I have numerous follow ups. This is a mild example, of an actually viable idea. I know beyond doubt that My Girl Panty-Pops would sell quite well. I fully intend making a clear resin version. |
|
| |
That's the great thing about Japan, the strange mix of politeness, extreme manners, aesthetic perfection, privacy, that can be found juxtaposed with kinky crassness. |
|
| |
'I said that no amount of annotations is going to change anybody's opinion of the post'. |
|
| |
Some annotations do change opinion as regards the posters though. |
|
| |
// the strange mix of politeness, extreme
manners aesthetic perfection, privacy, that
can be aesthetic perfection, privacy, that can
be found juxtaposed with kinky crassness // |
|
| |
Sorry, is this Japan or the HB … ? |
|
| |
and some annotations should be read with the original context intact, and firsthand, not through self-serving slanderous secondhand reports. |
|
| |
I think that voting in either direction would make me feel a bit dirty. |
|
| |
Ah, you'd be referring to this Kinki? The alternative area name for Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe). See link, if you really must. |
