Japanese PC magazine gives away free pair of panties with every issue, enjoys strong increase in sal

[Legend99]

Turns out the marketing trick worked a treat, with issues selling like hot cakes. Hot cakes with a panty filling. No doubt it helped that three different colours of undergarments.

Who'd have thought so many female Japanese gamers were so desperate for underpants.

You can buy panties in the same vending machines you buy food in when you're in Japan. It's just how they are... Does this stuff still surprise anyone?

According to my friend, his brother was in Japan recently and you could buy 'used panties' from vending machines.

He didn't say if they were male or female panties...

Hmm. They might be quite useful...
IMAGINATION!

We all kinda know about the panties nature of SOME places in Japan but I have to ask... why? What's the appeal? It makes no sense!

They probably aren't. I bet a lot of male gamers bought that shit. Japan is freakin' weird. Those 2 bombs really fucked them up

Used adolescent female. Supposedly it's the increase in Estrogen.

Saying that though, the Japanese also have vending machines for cans of lager that are open 24 hours - and none of our countries can top that.

This is still news?

Ehh, doesn't surprise me anymore.
Hell they have Vending Machines, Magazines, and even Anime Dedicated to panties.
Though its not EVERYWHERE as some people like to think.

 

[Mechsoap]

oooh Japan, will you ever stop looking perverted....

 

[hurfdurp]

That rules. If Canadian magazine's started handing out free, used wife beaters I'd be all over that.

 

[Nouw]

So I guess males in Japan like to keep panties. I wonder how they'd explain them all when they invite a girl over.

"This is for you" If you know what I got the line from in the same context of panties I will internet hug you.

 

[discordance]

This just in! Japan is still batshit insane

 

[Sacman]

Oh Japan, this is why we love you...

 

[SimuLord]

If someone's going to send me panties, the panties in question damn well better have a girl in them.

Well with tarrifs and all it is cheaper to buy 6 copies of the magazine than 1 pack of panties. Maybe we should start a drive? Panties for Japan!

You and me both. I needed both wifebeaters, and an excuse to do the laundry, and this seems perfect.

But the panties aren't really suprising, I mean, come on:

Just to post a picture of a vending machine.

 

[Mistermixmaster]

What the... y'know what, it's better to not question this, seeing how it's from Japan...

Still, I wonder if sales of PC magazines with panties would be something that would increase the US/European sales of PC magazines...

 

[Death God]

I wonder how many men have went and bought this magazine just for this reason.
