If you're in Japan for a while, chances are you'll spot one of these - a Yakult Girl. They usually have these push-carts or bicycles stocked with Yakult yogurt drinks, and go around selling them direct in offices and to individuals in the local area.

I often wonder how they manage to survive when there's a convenience store on every street corner. Perhaps the customers want to help maintain this dying part of Japanese culture.

Do you have anything like this where you live?
