Testing the convenience of Convenience Wear.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A few years back, Family Mart added an exclusive clothing range called \u201cConvenience Wear<\/strong>\u201d to its stores. Containing everyday staples like T-shirts and jackets<\/a>, there were a few items adorned in the chain\u2019s signature coloured stripes that instantly became runaway hits, and there was one item that was so popular it sold out instantly.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Family Mart \u201cLine Socks<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The socks became a cult product amongst convenience store fans, and now the chain is drawing everyone in again with a new tie-up promotional product in collaboration with Papico ice cream.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Simply buy two Papico ice creams and you\u2019ll get\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc \u2026 a special \u201cPapico Sweater<\/strong>\u201d for free.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the image below shows, this \u201csweater\u201d is actually modelled on the \u201cLine Socks\u201d, only there\u2019s one of them, and in much smaller form.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc \u201cWhat could you use one tiny sock for?\u201d You might be wondering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s designed to fit snug around the ice cream to stop your hands from getting cold and wet!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Ah, Family Mart \u2014 always making our lives more convenient.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sock adds to the fun of the ice cream, which is designed to be sucked out of the container like a bottle. You can even give it the \u201cloose socks\u201d style favoured by young girls in Japan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not only is the sock convenient for keeping your ice creams cold, it can be reused as a chair leg cover, to keep your furniture from scratching the floor.<\/p>\n

\u25bc Now we need to buy at least six more ice creams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve got a pair of actual Line Socks in your wardrobe, you\u2019ll be able to match your furniture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Or your ice cream.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With Papico ice creams in the 205 yen-267 yen (US$1.50-$1.95) price range, the free Family Mart mini sock is a great deal, but you\u2019ll want to pull on your Line Socks and run to the chain now as they\u2019re only available for a limited time while stocks last.<\/p>\n
