"What is your major malfunction, Otaku!?"

(Lest you start drooling at the prospect of Full Metal Jacket figures, this totally custom machine vends mini-sized "emergency rations" to the denziens of Nakano Broadway. Click for a closer look.)

That is really odd. Is it actually licensed? And what do they taste like?

[Matt]

Taste? You won't catch me putting anything that comes out of a Nakano Broadway vending machine in my mouth.

On that note, just down the hall at the Mandarake cereal-premium specialty shop, they're selling VINTAGE GUM FROM THE EIGHTIES. Wave of the future, my man. Invest now.

Hey, I've still got unopened Star Wars cards from the late '70s to '83, the kind with the stick of gum inside...think I could sell that to the Japanese for way too much money?

Or just use the gum sticks as ninja weapons....

[Roger]

The gum that came with those cards was stale in 1977.

[Matt]

Gum from 1977? Good lord. Tell you what: you have a few packs to spare, I'll sell 'em to Mandarake and split the ill-gotten gains. WE'LL BE RICH, MAN!
