SpoCha

 Several weekends ago, Millinophile went to SpoCha with some work buddies. SpoCha is basically several floors of games that you can play (at this SpoCha, you paid for a time, like 9 hours). This picture has a foam ball game where you shoot at the other team.

 They had a bouncy house full of giant balloons.

 A fishing pond stocked with real fish.

 A mechanical bull.

 Ping pong tables, and so much more. Millinophile particularly enjoyed the tiny motorcycle racing track, where you could ride tiny motorcycles around.

 A mechanical horse racing track. These seem to be really popular at casinos.

And, if you want to play for your ice cream instead of just buying it from a vending machine, you can!

Millinophile said the only downside was that lunch was expensive and tiny (like 5 chicken nuggets for $5). Also, it was raining the day he went, so the outdoor sports (archery, batting cages, etc.) were closed.

Salt & Fruit

Millinophile decided to try this out of a vending machine. He thought it was actually rather good, but Chickadee was not a fan. It was very sweet and fruity, with a salty aftertaste.

Grape Jelly in a Can

While walking around Kurihama Flower Park, Millinophile developed a substantial thirst. So, we headed to the vending machines to see what they offered.

Millinophile chose this, which ended up being a grape jelly-type drink. It reminded Chickadee of really watery jello (she was not a fan). Millinophile decided he quite liked (probably due to the high sugar content).

Yogurt Taste!

 

 We found this in a vending machine. It sort of does taste like yogurt, but with chunks of gelatin in it (yum). There's also a carbonated version sans gelatin cubes.

 

Vending Machine Soup

 

Millinophile saw this corn-covered can in a vending machine and had to try it.  Turns out, it's not corn soda--it's corn chowder. It was still tasty.
