Shouldn't have ordered those nuggets with my meal - feeling a bit
bloated now ToT.
This weeks kiddy meal goodies are Chibi Maruko-chan - 20 to collect
means 20 meals. Great way to get the parents to fork out more.
Any of you regularly watch Chibu Maruko-chan?

And did you know there was a live action version?

    God so jealous!!!! I WANT TO COLLECT THEM TOO T^T. I absolutely LOVED watching the series when I was a kid(Like many asians do, hell even my mom likes it). The episodes always provided me lots of fun and laughter. XD My favourite character probably has to be the white kid who always like to show off his english. I grew up with the cantonese dub so I'm not sure if the white kid still has same catchphrase, but he would always like to say "OhhHHh Baby~" when he adresses to Maruko-chan. XD

    Oh boy, 20 meals means Super Size Me! No, I did not know that there's a live action version.

    BTW. Off Maruko-chan-topic.

    Is there a tool for posting via iPhone in figure.fm?
    Do you know where can I buy a lawn mower in Japan for commercial use?

    Thanks! :)

    I never watched the series but have often seen Maruko-chan around. If only we have Kiddy Meal goodies as cute as this here. Though I guess if that happens, more kids will be overweight. XDD

    I try to avoid the fast food places but there have been several times where I tried to raid the McDs of their toys. Dunno about other places but we can just buy the toys if we wanted.

    Omg.... 20??? That'd be £40 in the UK lol. £1.99 for each happy meal. Not bad actually... but I dont have happy meals anymore. Stopped when I was... *thinks* I'm guessing 12 lol.
