    This was such a clever business idea. Set up shop with unusual floor plan and creepy ambiance, fill machines with cheap and unrelated items, wrap some in paper with nonsensical stories, never explain any of it, and profit. I think this shop was designed to create an urban legend or give tourists a fun story to tell back home. I love it. 100% would visit and buy daiso candy in a creepy mystery box

One video I saw there was a group of tourists and they were warned by a local that the boxes were basically a scam.

Occasionally, when restocking the machines, they place one poisoned item inside, and they wait and wait for the day someone opens that special box… a true game of fate and chance.

    Even though you paid 5 times the amount for the biscuits from the dollar. I think it's pretty cool, the vendor took the time to wrap each put stories on it and gave the potential consumer something to wonder about and something read. So even though the cookies were not worth the money, I think what you're paying for is the experience and the Wonder of not knowing what you'll get and being able to read the stories. Not worth the money but a pretty cool idea for sure. From Arizona, USA

    2:32 to 2:36 i found that biscuit in conv store for about $5.33 [5 dollar 33 cents] , also found at amazon US for $14.99 [1.76 oz. or 50g] so ...what the heck are you talking about?
    a mystery box should have the same value money a customer spend maybe with a slim margin of error of rounding down e.g. item that is in the box value $5.11, one only pay the mystery box of $5
    if not; that is considered a scam and report able to law enforcement

      From all the variety of videos of vending machines in Japan that I have seen, they are a well used product in their society. They are a dating event, a teach the children event, travel to them event, and find variety event. One of my favorites was the cakes in a can. And of course, all the great meals. Even their travel ships have rooms of vending machines for the travelers, with microwaves provided. I would certainly not worry about dates on the products in Japan.

      This has become a pretty popular tourist stop over the years so the food gets refreshed fairly often. You're really paying for the weirdness of it all. Fun spot for some Instagram photos I suppose. It's in Akihabara if anyone wants to go looking for it. The signs mostly tell people to not leave graffiti, don't pee on the ground and that your make out session may be caught on camera. Lol!

      That might be implied, but I think there's no prize. You can see other videos about these specific vending machines and everybody got ripped off. At best, it's probably a prize worth $10, as every item costs nearly $10.

    This store is in Akihabara, near the Mansei Building, plenty of Japan-based RUclipsrs have visited it before. The creepy pasta short story on the biscuit package is to discourage people from buying it normally, and only meant for emergency use.
