I'm not a drunkard

But you wouldn't know it from the food I eat here.
I am constantly trying to find salty snacks for work. I don't like sweet snacks, and a salty snack is enough to keep me satiated for most of the afternoon before I have classes. This way I am not spending $20 a day on food.

However, it doesn't seem like the Japanese really like salty snacks, except when they have been drinking, because all of the salty snacks I have found have wrappers something like this:



Yeah, that is a panda seal with a beer. Let me repeat that. A panda seal. With a beer. What the hell? Also, my favorite part, the giant lips. It is also kind of racist. Great wrapper! This was a pretty good snack though, peanuts and a salty flavorful crunchy string looking cracker snack.




I also ate some noodles topped with an egg thing that tasted kind of like a pizza. If that isn't drunkard food I don't know what is.

And then there are these



Pea flavored chips. And they taste exactly like peas mixed with chips. Not bad.



Full disclosure, I bought the pea chips when I was drunk.
