Fruit Drops

Ever since I saw "The Grave of the Fireflies" in middle school, I've always had this morbid fascination with the tins of Meiji's Fruit Drops (フルーツドロップ). Whenever my best friend goes anywhere, she always brings a can of these back regardless of where she goes. As a result, I have a can sitting in my apartment on campus and one at home. Today, I was hankering for something sweet (despite it being Sunday and having fulfilled my chocolate cravings for the day. You know how it is with me: I eat something I like, and then I have to eat it for the rest of the day. So today I like sugar. I'll exercise it off. I have this crazy Taiwanese exercise DVD series… ). So when I was doing the traditional rummage through my cabinet, I found the nifty tin and thought, "Why not?"

I ate one, and immediately was transported to my childhood *_* I'd forgotten why I liked eating them before I watched that darn movie (that's really just propaganda in disguise).

Yummy.
