I used to, but then I figured that the things I'll come around more often probably aren't worth saving. So now, I only save what I get from my penpal, and what I'm going to be buying for myself when I go to Japan.

I totaly agree, the only marble i have gotten was the one out of the bottle that was accidentaly broken, i also think that the bottles are cool and i save them, so i never want to break them open!! The marble was cool when i finnaly got it, accept i lost it already......

you are totaly right, and that is what my dad keeps telling me, but now that i have a few i would feel bad just dumping them all in the trash... it's an endless cycle!! By the way, where is your pen pal from?

that's so cool! i have a friend that i write to, but i don't know if i would call her a pen pal, she is just a friend that was sent to boarding school and i keep in touch by letters. So your in las Vegas hu? my dad says that he will take me once i turn 21, can't wait!

So, the only marble you got out is now lost, that sucks.

Ya i know!! i lose important things all the time because when i find them i put them somewhere i think that they will be safe, but then forget where i put them..... so i ither put it somewhere "safe" or actualy lost it

I'll be back on tommorow night, but mom is calling and have to leave!!

Ramune is the only soda I know of in existence that has fewer grams of sugar than a homeless man in the middle of the Arabian desert and 0 grams of anything else.

The so-called Marble Soda, it seems to carbonate on contact with the marble trapped in the neck. Because it does not carbonate until it touches that marble, the lemon-lime variety would look like plain water.

I actually found some of this stuff--along with pocky--at a music/movies/games store at my local mall. They have a section that is dedicated to anime, and they saw fit to include an entire wall section FILLED with Japanese thingies from fruit snacks to nut snacks to pocky to manga to very limited cosplay items (Naruto's tacky orange jacket, his headband, medallions from Bleach) to Shinai and Bokkens.... on and on.

The chain is called FYE, so if any of you have one of those near you, check it out. Odds are it'll be closer than the nearest asian market :P
