Yuko, did you see the news? Many people are now collecting milk tea bags, and they can even sell them for money.

Huh? Aren’t bags thrown away after use? How can they be sold?

Because some bags are collaborations or limited editions. People who like them buy them to collect, just like stamp collecting.

I see! I used to collect anime merchandise too—feels kind of similar.

Some people even buy three or four cups of milk tea at once just to get the new bags.

Wow, drinking that much isn’t healthy, but collecting is really fun.

Yes, but it should be done in moderation. Otherwise it becomes “over-consumption,” which isn’t good.

I understand. It’s okay to like them, but don’t buy blindly just for the bags. That way it’s fun and not wasteful.
