Gum and sticky notes

 

When we first purchased this gum, we were surprised to find mini sticky notes inside. “Those silly Japanese, these aren’t big enough to be write anything on!”  The gum container and the sticky notes ended up in the cup holder of the car.

So we drove around, chewing on gum as we admired the Japanese countryside. The gum inevitably lost it’s flavor, but as we were in the car, we couldn’t find any paper to properly dispose of the gum…

Then we saw the sticky notes. Finally occurred to us that the sticky notes are not to write mini notes, but to dispose of gum properly. No more gum on shoes, on the inside of trash cans, etc..
