Ummm...peanut butter isn't a White's trade mark. It's a Sepponian
thing. A lot of non-White Sepponians eat that stuff, and they have
been sold in most Japanese supermarkets too. Pizza and hot dogs as
well. Incidentally, costco sells all those Japanese things like
Katsuobushi, Ocha(green tea), Sashimi and sushi things, Unagi no
Kagayaki, Yakitori, Takoyaki, rice cookies, Bonchi Age of typical
Kansai style, etc. And they sell cat food cans for my cats in the
lowest price in my town. Most of the products being sold at there are
the lowest price in my town I think. There is no reason to miss those
deals.
