New in Akihabara this week, we can see there's a new item on the menu at the adult department store, "m's". That would be the "Chilled Shimapan".
-For those who don't know, Shimapan is a word used for striped pantsu. (panties)
According to Sankaku Complex who found the information on a livedoor Blog, says that the shimapan are all hawked, and being sold nice and cold for folks out on a stroll in Akihabara...or...anyone who'd like a pair of these refreshingly refrigerated undergarments in general.
That's normal...right?
There's two things that I thought about, that grabbed me to worry about humanity a little bit when I read about this.
-1 They're supposedly "hawked", meaning that someone willingly sold them to the store.
-2 They are actually selling. Wow. And someone's making money off this!
Ok ok, so maybe I'm not so worried about humanity...looks like folks in Akihabara are wising up and finding new ways to beat the economy and make some dough!
Reminds me of the McFlurries I've had at McDonald's! And for 980 Yen too!
Maybe McDonald's will catch up on this idea soon, and we just might find ourselves some "McShimapan" on the menu, right next to the McFlurry!
Or not? Is this normal, weird, gross or are you like me and don't even know what to say, and then resort to making jokes about them?
Refreshing...^^
only in Japan...
You won't find any ice cream that promotes panties anywhere else.
It won't be only in Japan if you try make it yourself.
Is they ice cream or cloth? Oh, and what flavors? :P
LOL Thats what I'm wondering...
That's what I would like to know as well :]
today as I was on the road, I decided that chilled shimapan CUPCAKES would make someone a bloody fortune . . . you know, BIG cupcakes, McFlurry size or bigger . . . blue icing and white layer cake and . . and . . HOLY CRAP anyone want to partner-up in business venture?? 8O
冷やししまぱんうまそう！（＞＿＜）食いてぇー！！
They might be refreshing to wear on a hot day! :3
(〃∇〃)(〃∇〃)(〃∇〃)(〃∇〃)(〃∇〃)(〃∇〃)
haha. I would buy one and wear it, just to say I did.
I would so wear these =3=
For those that seen my Frozen Pantsu Figma comic, this is what its based on ^^.
What a interesting idea...those look pretty good...wait...those are real panties...
Never mind...no thanks... o_o
Anyway, if it were actually ice cream (or something eatable) I'd say that's a clever idea,
but being real panties just makes it really weird...0_0
LOL
Quite hilarious, :D
980 Yen = at least $11 USD, isnt that a bit expensive for a little Ice cream?
One of the things which came to mind is... people buy it and use it to wipe their face... LOL
They are packaged in drink/ice cream containers, so it looks like something that you're supposed to consume. I wonder if they come with a straw or spoon.
Hey, guys. Bad news : Chilled Shimapan were SOLD OUT completely LOL http://blog.livedoor.jp/geek/archives/51065458.html
Well if they're sold in vending machines, why not fridges too? XD
日本オワタ...
Ooh someone was clever here, if they're actually aimed at women that is. I'd buy a pair on a hot day!
Pantsu
Great. first they displayed shimapan as hot piping bowl of rice, now as iced goods. There is clearly no god for non-otaku.
