Japan is just so considerate when it comes to their products and packaging! Little pieces of paper to discard your gum, vents on the corner of your ramen to drain the water out, plastic tab things on the bottom of containers to help you get the cellophane off, etc. Like why can’t it be like that everywhere. Just so thoughtful

Because in countries like the US everything is made in other countries. It's all about money. In Japan they have a certain level of respect for the experience of products. They take pride in their work, and a product that is anything but exceptional is shameful. I'm sure this isn't how everything is there, but majority of how things are done there is through the pride in workmanship. I also want to say I'm not a Japanese expert, but from what I've observed in all areas of Japanese culture, whether you clean toilets to the CEO of a large corporation, you take pride in what you do and do it with respect and honor.

It disgusts me to physically touch most products sold in the US. I have some of my mother’s very old kitchen utensils and they were designed to feel good in the hand. Today products and packaging are increasingly hostile. Packaging is in fact outright hateful. Try being over 50 or 60 and opening a plastic clamshell or shrink wrapped bottle.

This is perfect when you're feeling "Kuchi-samishii". It's a Japanese expression, direct translation to English will be "Mouth feeling lonely". You know when you want to have something in your mouth but you're not particulaly hungry / not really craving sweet or savory. I heard the concept of "Kuchi-samishii" is only found in Japan - thus the invention of this candy & gum?

You might give Xylimelts a try. They're little xylitol tablets that are designed to attach themselves to your gums an help keep your mouth hydrated. They come in a few flavors (cinnamon, mint, and "slightly sweet") and they last for a few hours (usually 2-3 for me, but it depends on how much I'm talking or drinking.) They help me SO much with my medicine-related dry mouth. I tend to use them mostly at night or when I'm going to be talking a lot and can't drink (like when I'm teaching or working in a lab where beverages aren't safe.)

Saw the title of this video was was like…”huh? That’s weird”. Then watched. I’m a smoker. I smoke for the oral fixation. I have no problems with the nicotine withdrawal when I don’t smoke, but I don’t like candy that leaves a sugary film in my mouth and I don’t chew gum. I also will eat nonstop if I don’t smoke. I want those lozenges! As soon as you described them I just wanted them so badly. I really think they would 100% satisfy my oral fixation. I’ve got to know where I can find them. They have to be cheaper than cigarettes and we know they’re better for me and everyone around me.

This reminds me of the Wayside School book series. Did you ever read any of those books when you were a kid? There was one where the teacher would bring in a different ice cream every day that was named for a different kid in the class. When all the other kids tried it, they loved it. But whenever each kid tried their own ice cream flavor, they said they couldn't taste anything. Then the teacher explained that each kid's flavor is what they taste when they taste nothing at all.

I have never heard anyone else refer to the Sanrio store smell and ramune candy 🍬 YES! Exactly you couldn’t have chosen a better likeness. Sanrio used to sell amazing gum with each flavor wrapped in wrappers decorated with different characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kero Kero-pi as well many others. My favorite was a pastel blue-green gum that tasted just like the store smells. The writing on the label was in (Kanji?) foreign (to me) characters and I was an English child, who only recognized it by the Sanrio character on the pack but, couldn’t translate the characters of the actual flavor. For years, I searched for that flavor. I was this old (44) before my fourteen-year-old son bought me a bottle of original flavor ramune, suspecting it was the same as my long lost flavor. As soon as the little marble popped into the glass bottle, the effervescence of carbonation tickled my nose and I was transported back in time to my childhood bedroom, Sanrio friends and the most enormous pastel aqua bubble I ever blew! Now... wait - what flavor is ramune, exactly?! Hmm 🧐 lol idk but it’s yum 😋

I've never been in a Sanrio store, but you mentioned the smell of a Sanrio store and I feel like I know what you mean anyway. My sister loved Hello Kitty when we were young. Those flat erasers with perfect 90 degree edges. Shiny but dull, like a satin finish. Not so good at erasing, but you don't want to use them for erasing anyway. You just want to have them. Just picturing them, I think I can smell them again. They didn't smell like our pink or orange erasers. They smelled like a mixture of faint perfume and some kind of rubber, but all very subtle. You did get the sense you could eat it if you had to.

We need more sugar free recipes we can enjoy I was diagnosed with pre diabetes so it’s a huge turn of cards for me😔💔

Except sugar free things that taste sweet can trigger an insulin response without the actual sugar to follow, wthich is almost worse. I wonder what the effect of something like this would be, if they don’t taste sweet…

Problem with some sugar-free things is the laxative effects they can cause, I've tried a few over the years and, yeesh, re-enacting a scene from Dumb and Dumber was not fun........ :S

@@lemonadewithstrawberries Yes. There’s a very strong ‘soda’ lobby in the US, they do their best to muddy the waters. European studies have shown mixed results as to which (diet vs sugary) are worse in the long run. It looks like it doesn’t make any difference for type one, but in type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance, the diet seems to be worse. I just looked it up, and the latest studies show that in addition to insulin spikes, diet drinks may also affect the gut microbiome, further affecting nutritional uptake, which can exacerbate the whole problem.

I actually find bland food to be very tasty. Don't get me wrong, I also love salty, umami, and spicy, but bland sometimes just hits the spot. Heck, I even love water of varying texture/sensation: bottled water, hot water, sparkling water, raindrop cake with no sugar, etc.

Could be helpful for people like me with acid reflux, saliva helps neutralize the acid in your stomach, which is why they say chewing gum helps, but sometimes i dont always feel like tasting or chewing gum, especially after eating lol

One time I was given some candies, unlabeled, that were clear and had no flavor, and I was utterly bemused. I'd never heard of anything like that, they didn't have anything written on them (the packaging did not look like what you showed in this video, and the candies were more clear). I also believe it was before 2020 but I might be wrong. I have always wondered what was the deal with that.

Ah yes, the Sanrio store, something I'm sure we're all familiar with. No context needed there. 😂 As someone who's had a chronic cough for around 14 years, I'd love affordable, flavorless cough drops. I'd so tired of being overwhelmed by the same flavors. Worst part is that the brand of drops I prefer are only menthol locally and I _hate_ menthol.
