negative calories
Don't they look like the real deal? Lipton is giving away these cell phone charms with a bottle of their iced tea.
Japanese love to collect things and these companies love to give stuff away in order to sell their products.
There are actually 6 in the whole collection, but I got these 4. I guess this is one way to go on a diet....the package says "not for consumption" in Japanese, or maybe not as I need to drink the pre-sweetened teas now...
Oh and awhile back, I bought these, again from Lipton, and sent them to Carol of Paris Breakfasts, she is totally hooked on miniatures!!

Wow, so life like. That macaroon one is perfect for you! :)
Thanks Lori, the macaron was the main one that I wanted :)
Take care.

Certainly a good thing for the calorie-counting crowd. The way you're holding them makes me want to take a bite!
ps. I will begin to enjoy as soon as I buy myself some shorts. I am so melting in my cotton knit pants!
I usually am melting as soon as I get home too...Get yourself some shorts, Rowena!! and enjoy :)
They look so edible! And totally cute.
Ah ha ;) so you did get those minis! haha... that macaron is just too kawaii :)
love it .
kawaii!!! my favorite is the chocolate bar.
have you heard of q-pot? it's kinda like this, but in expensive jewelry form.
they do look real don't they, Syrie!
the macaron was the main one I was looking for Shar, got the others because I realized they were cute too :)
no Ila, but now that you mentioned it I will have to surf around to check it out :0
Take care everyone.
Kat
Yep, the macaron would win as my favorite too. These are so life-like--how cool and fun!
If ever you are in Osaka, Deb let me know, we can go macaron shopping (eating) :)
Take care.
Kat
aww that is soo cute! I would definitely pick the strawberry sundae!
Thanks Phoebe :)
Take care.
Kat
So cute and realistic-looking! I couldn't carry these keychains around because I would get hungry every time I look at them.
I love that cream puff one!
I wonder if this is why I haven't put it onto my cell yet, Jenster??
P-T, cute, yeah??
Take care you two.
Kat
If I don't make it to Osaka soon maybe we can meet at the tea place by Neiman Marcus for a pretty decent one the next time you are in town! ;-)
you're on Deb :)
Take care.
Kat
Yes and PB is behind the 8-ball in sending you a doodle for these divine objet trouve! :(
Must get crackin' Dog gone it!
Shucks..where's my kitchen table?
Dang' it they are SWEET !
I could've sworn that they were REAL!... until I read your text saying it wasn't.
I think they all look pretty surreal, except for the croissant. :)
aww, Carol, no need to send anything:) glad you enjoyed those minis!
I think it helped that I held it like I was going to eat it, Ilingc :)
Take care you two.
Kat
Oh I love those cell phone charms.
They are kind of big to have on your cell phone Barbara :)
Take care.
Kat
I am also a fan of miniature things, especially food. :)
Mini food things are so cute, Beadexplorer and so real looking too.
Take care.
Kat
omg! Kat, miniatures are my favorite. You are so lucky! I would be in heaven if they had those in Hawaii...I need to get myself over to Japan!
Thanks Jenny, you better come over soon :)
Take care.
