[AD] 鬼は外! 福は内! at GCSUPER

| >Opening the thread brings you to a brightly colored 'net advertisement for what appears to be a convenience store chain, hawking… soybeans (?), and… log-like maki at /mind boggling/ bargain prices, in a last-ditch effort to make sales on or before Setsubun. Two mischievous looking oni (each with charm rivaling-- but not outranking-- that of Glitch City's own Major Thalia Chanka) dance playfully beneath the scrolling text and closely cropped photos of konbini stock.


| No, not again! Not this year! I wont be thrown beans at okay! I wont!!
They dont even taste good or anything too!
-IBARAKI


| It’s going to be Setsubun again already?? And I have no natto?! ((((;゚Д゚)))))))

PLEASE DONT SELL OUT OF ANYTHING YET
-Unit 00


| >... You notice that if you let your cursor hover by those little devils for a second too long, they chase and eventually abscond with it-- only to drop it and recoil in terror when you click and scatter beans in their direction. Demons, out!! Fortune, in!!

NOOOOOO!

Man, she's really into the virtual ads huh. She's talking like it's sad a drama show or or some shit.

You dont get it, every year I get thrown beans at! Atleast make it Malteasers or skittle! Beans are hard and they taste like nothing!! NOTHING AT ALL!
-IBARAKI

The trick is you don't eat em right away. You can make some pretty nice sweets out of them if you mix them up with sugar and the like.

There is a limit to LYING!
Its not good to lie you know!
Im an adult so I'll overlook it, but dont LIE to me like that! There is no way those stupid disgusting beans can become anything tasty!!

I have seen some nice recipes that need beans. I heard they make some nice sweet paste fillings for rice buns as well, but I've never actually tried that before.
-Alix

You should try it. I'm sure you can do it, I believe in you.
-Red 9

This is why I love you.

| Oh, it is that time of year again, isn't it?
-Evening


| >Scrolling further brings you to a section of the ad offering up the last of the chain's lucky bags for the year. They're divided into categories by their contents: household goods, snacks, cutesy novelty trinkets... the text boasts that the value of the prizes hidden within are nearly double the price of the bags themselves. What a steal!!


| >At the very bottom of the ad, there's an advisory in miniscule print... something to do with the chain not being responsible for any ruined friendships or romances that may stem from customers choosing to chuck natto at the loved ones masquerading as hannya in their houses, rather than dried soybeans...?


| Remember to read the fine prints, lads. Bullshit like this crops up a whole bloody lot.
