Sensu beans for sale!

Post by SuperSaiyan3Goku » Thu Aug 13, 2009 1:46 am

No, I don't have any Sensu Beans, but apparently, ToyWiz does!

Just searching on ToyWiz for any new DBZ figures, and I found these!
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

Senzu Beans don't come in a box. Yajirobe is rolling in his grave.

Now every child can be a Bean Daddy. :twisted:

If by some random-ass chance I see these for sale, I'll buy two boxes. One to try, one to save... and get all nasty... so I can sell it in $50 years lol.

Also, isn't buying candy on the internet kinda... Not good for the actual candy? Like that DBZ power drink under it, wouldn't that get all shook up and maybe even leak everywhere and whatnot?

What's stopping me from going to my local gas station and picking up a pack of Jelly Beans for a whole lot cheaper and picking out the green ones. It's like jacking up the price on a regular plunger and labeling it as "A Super Mario collectible!" At least put them in a little jar or sack or make them crunch when you bite into them using a hard outer shell, as it stands it kind of just reads "HUUUURRRRRRRRR nobody bought a lot of Jelly Beans last year, here are the green ones in a Dragonball box....pretend they are Senzu kay'?"

Bah! Those aren't senzu. Those are an imposter candy!

I'll show you what I bought:

These are Senzu

The beans they come with are called Edamame. They're baby soy beans oeroared in a certain way. While normally served in the pod and can be found in Chinese restaurants (they're a favorite of mine), they arrived out of the pod when I received my Senzu Jar.

What's cool about edamame (and soybeans in general) is that they have similar, but more realistic, health benefits to Senzu. Aside from being a complete protein, soy beans can do a lot of really cool stuff to promote overall health as well as strengthen the immune system. While it doesn't heal injuries like the Senzu, it promoted health and a trim body shape as well as aids against mental fatigue and sluggishness.

A lot better than any candy, that's for sure!

Though DBZ candy is really cool. I had gumballs once that looked like tiny Dragonballs!

Are they also like Senzu, in that they (supposedly) taste like shit? :lol:

:P

Ha! Very cool! That's what I expected to find in this thread when I clicked it, not some green jelly beans. =P

Obviously it's easy to find the beans in any Chinese restaurant, Asian market, or even any supermarket (I assume), but where did you find that nifty package with the Senzu jar? I want one now...

I got mine on eBay, but they don't seem to be too common on there anymore.

Hm, well I'll definitely keep my eye out every so often now. I'd love to own a Senzu jar to...store various healthy snacks in, I suppose?

As for the candy from the first post, is it just me or is it not a very good idea to buy food off the internet? I guess it's not so bad since it's only candy, though.

I can also vouch for that. One day while relaxing between classes, my friend had some Edamame with her and offered me some. Eventually I ended up eating half the bag, heh. They're definitely very addictive.

Of course now I'm going to forever see the comparison between them and Senzu, and it's just odd that it didn't come to my mind before.

Yes, I am, Bomber Greek.

Also, I think better packaging would have been more like the little sack Yajirobe carried them in. Without his sweat and dense musk all over it.

Do they sell the senzu beans and that little pot in American (what?)? I'd hate to have to pay way too much for shipping.

It's a Japan-only item as far as I know.

I was unaware that lime-flavored jelly beans have mystical healing properties. :?

Nothing to see here, pal. These beans are only sold in Japanese.

Well, if it's any consolation, you can buy pressure sealed prepared chicken soup online. :wink:
