On the way to the exit you venture through yet another gift shop. The theme to this gift shop is candy. Once again, I thought there would be nothing to see here except maybe a few Snickers with Japanese writing on them, but no. There is some pretty funny stuff here! Check out the oppai (breasts) pudding. Now you can purchase for your pre-teen son a pair of boob-shaped pudding snacks, complete with nipples. Right next to the boob pudding is bottle of "F-Cup candy;" the label simulates a boob enhancement drug. I guess in Japan they start them off young! Nice.
The last stop in the museum is a squirrel park, and the honor system is put in place here. Out on a table are cups of food for the squirrels. There is no one watching and you can put a cup out and feed the squirrels. You're supposed to leave 100 yen in a little basket. Back home in LA, all that food would have been gone (not to mention the basket with the money in it).
