Notes

Olimar's journal

“According to recent statistics, the elderly people on Hocotate love to eat sweets. To spite them, young people are eating all the spicy food they can get their hands on. Just looking at this artifact makes my mouth feel spicy! When I bring it back, it's sure to be all the rage with surly teens everywhere! Tonight, I think I'll practice signing autographs.”

Sales pitch

“Behold the overwhelming power of monochrome yellow! Spiciness fills both the eyes and mouth. Irresistable!”
