#botan rice candy

[rootfauna]

I will never grow out of putting stickers all over my shit

[djinnhatescold]

Just got a crazy strong wave of nostalgia for Botan Rice Candy. They used to come with a little toy inside (usually a little plastic magnifying glass or top) but now they have stickers, which are probably better.

Maybe I can order a case of these from somewhere and inflict them upon my children.

I'm in love with the design of this creature I got as the sticker in this botan rice candy box.

LOOK AT THE STICKER I JUST GOT IN MY CANDY

[hailmaryfullofgrace55675]

botan rice candy hits different now. when i was a kid this was a C tier candy but at 27-soon it’s easily A tier, possibly S. PLUS they gave me a sticker of a catgirl.

[peridyke]

when I was in middle school I had a crush on this girl in my class who really liked anime (didn't understand it was a crush) and everytime I went to the store with my mom id make her buy me the botan rice candy so I could give it to her at school. lmao

Mythological Creature:

Piece of Stationary:

A love letter handled with the utmost care. She poured her heart into her elegantly written words. The precision is not lost on you, she wants it known you were worth the time. She signs her name with a lipstick kiss that makes your heart flutter. The parchment smells slightly like her gentle perfume.

Piece of Stationary:

An old, torn, crumpled up piece of paper. It's covered in dirt, or maybe that's soot. Did someone try to burn this? The handwriting is sloppy, but the words tell a story. Perhaps a diary entry. It's hard to read, but it's heartbreaking, desperate. This is something someone had to tell, to get it out of their system. It looks as if they tried to destroy it when they were done but swiftly changed their mind. Maybe, in the end, they hoped someone would find it, someone would know their story, maybe even find comfort in it that they're not alone if they've been forced to endure the same pain.

Your art tastes/reminds me of that nostalgic feeling of eating japanese rice candy. :)

Oh god, now I’m craving it.

Those Botan Rice Candies that come with a little sticker. I remember getting those as a dessert as a kid when we went to a restaurant. They were included in the kid’s meal. Part of me would be disappointed not to like it anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from craving something I haven’t had since I was a kid.

They also has these lime-flavored candies. Sad that I can’t remember the name. Aghh. But they were SO good. I loved having sticky white rice and getting the bento. I would have the orange and make it my smile every single time.

this sounds so good?? ive never tried those but i just looked them up and they look really good :D The packaging kind of reminds me of Mexican mazapan (que ahora ya también me está antojando AJAJJJA)

sorry this took me so long to respond to!! i PROMISE i will get to everyone's asks eventually fhashdf i keep forgetting i have an asks box ;__;

How do Aenar respond to normal human food? (Spicy wings, bubbly soda, etc etc etc)

Yes!! I love this question!!! Thank you!

None of this is canon at all btw- more under the cut!

Ok, so it's canon that salt tastes spicy to Andorians. (Or, at least I think it is?) I thought it'd be funny for it to be the opposite for Aenar aka hot sauce tastes like salt, and salt tastes like nothing.

So Hemmer/Aenar can chow down on ghost pepper sauce and handle it just fine. Ghost peppers would just be really salty- and kinda gross.

As for sugar and soda, they love both. However, they're hard to find in the Northern Wastes. I headcanon that there's no commercial imports into the Aenar capitol (I have an economy set up that relies on exports (Specifically of minerals) to fund any international ventures, (Aka separation of internal and external economy) so the Aenar don't use money really, neither Federation credits or otherwise) So, soda is totally contraband, as are cigarettes and coffee. (Which is like gold there)

side note: bubbly soda is crazy to them. Hemmer spat it out the first time he had it at the academy he was so surprised. Sugary drinks are common, but drinks with bubbles are still a little out there.

Hemmer is the plug for his family when it comes to sour belts and melon soda! He really likes human food (esp. candy). (although getting him to admit that is nigh impossible)

Mint though, they hate it. Mint tastes like soap to them, the same as how cilantro tastes like soap to some humans.

Oh, and Andorian soda uses a botanical the Aenar hate as it tastes like bleach- it's a headcanon that the Speaker spit it out the first time she had it at a political dinner and almost had to fight an Ushaan.

However, as for meat (Wings), the Aenar have a religious thing around men touching meat. Blood is considered unclean (religiously and morally) so anyone touching blood is a big no-no... save for fish. Somehow, fish blood is just fine- for both men and others. Killing animals also has to be done in a humane way (Or I guess 'Aenaran way' haha) So, technically Hemmer would be a pescatarian off-world.

Not that he follows that all the time lol- I mean, KFC has to exist in 2240-50's right?

The Aenar usually grill/roast their food, so anything fried wouldn't really catch their fancy. They'd get sick of it pretty quick. They stick with the classics- (meat, fish, veggies, fruit, rice,) pretty consistently. Most dishes are pretty simple. The only thing they really splurge on is sugar.

I mean, cotton candy, right?

As for spicy stuff, it tastes like salt to them...which means if you're ever invited to an Aenar's house...bring tissues and a gallon of milk. Godspeed if you have a low spice tolerance.

Thankfully, most Aenar desserts and drinks don't have capsaicin/ spices in it.

Most. RIP.

Hi followers and mutuals come here. Come here right now I have something to tell you. Some of you probably know this but for those who don't: by Asian food at local Asian markets. Yes including meat and produce. It's usually more affordable, and with the exception of like, prepackaged processed foods it's usually better quality than at safeway or whatever. Get a bag of rice the size of a small end table and eat off of that for a month or two depending on how many folks you live with. Botan rice candy isn't $5.30 per package there. And check multiple stores, these places have things from many different countries but can often focus on one (for example the two I go to most often are primarily Korean and Thai iirc so there's lots of overlap in what they sell but they both also have stuff I can't find anywhere else). A lot of these places are smaller businesses as well and deserve your money more than massive chain stores. Ok?

(obligatory disclaimer I am speaking abt Asian stores in America so I can't claim this is universal)
