TOKYO (AFP) - For those who find cracking open a can of Campbell's Soup to be too easy a meal option, a Japanese company is offering a back-to-basics version: the vegetable seeds themselves.

Um...I thought the point was ease of use.

What is this? Campbell's vegetable seeds? Like Burpee's?

Ah yes, jidoohanbaiki. And I know of at least one spot in Kyoto where you can buy panties from a vending machine.

And they're not new, if you know what I mean.

I knew of a few places like that in Tokyo, near some of the love hotel district in Shibuya. You could also get blow up dolls!
