Finagling Me Tang, a young Japanese girl displays
her Cracker Jack Surprise Inside: a 2 terra-byte nano-HDD (hard disc
drive).
Finagling stated that she planned to use her prize in her Dai
Nippon cell phone, which is also a high definition TV, a wireless PC
with Windows XP SP2, a digital scanner, a G.P.S., a
night-vision/range-finder & binocular/microscope, a digital cam and
photo printer, a web server, a Karaoke iPod machine and chopsticks
holder. A spokesperson for Cracker Jack explained that the Frito Lay company
was forced to upgrade the toy surprises for the Japanese market:
"the Japanese disdained the toy surprises that we use in America as
being cheap and crappy."
Cracker Jack was able to upgrade the quality of its "Surprise
Inside," with the help of a United States government subsidy. Other
possible surprises available only in industrialized nations outside
of the U.S., include items such as nano Shoe-Shine Robots, nano 1 TB
iPods, nano video cell phones, nano TiVo and nose-hair trimmers.
But not the sort of items that one might find advertised at Junk
Bros. News.
Ms. Tang is also a huge fan of another American snack food, Slim
Jim. She says that "all of the American calories have been pounded
out of beef jerky."
"A flat diet is like if Americans want to be thin, then they should
eat flat foods, no? No more 'mad-cow!'"
Ms. Tang is currently in her third year at the famed Tokyo Denki
University and is researching nano negative calorie diets. |
