Unhappy

Today on my lunch brake I bought a pack of M&M candies. I didn't win but on the front of the pack it said I could win Yen???? 10 million to be exact..... What would that add up to in american dollars?



A friend of mine once bought a book from japan on line for $5. When he got it in the mail the price of the book was 500 yen.....What would we do with yen in america??

You could alway use the money in Japan. Why not take a trip, and visit all our sacred sites?

Buy a FD or two for "track" purposes... BTW 100 million yen is approximately 800k.

I saw a comercial for M&Ms that featured Godzilla, and since it's proximity to

Halloween... well I figured it was just a tie in. If they were going to use Godzilla

they might as well have the payout in Yen.



Just a theory.
