Japanese PC magazine gives away free pair of panties with every issue, enjoys strong increase in sales

Successful marketing move not likely to🉐 be copied by PC Gamer anytime soon

There's an adult-targeted PC magazine in Japan called PC Angel Neo. The latest issue comes complete with a free pair of knickers. I find this promotional item curious. Given that the core readership of PC Angel Neo are not young girls that could make practical use of a pair of stripy pants, I'm supposing ꦉthat this underwear-themed giveaway item is one of those ungraspable cultural difference things that I don't get about Japan.♓ And never will. Here's the cover of PC Angel Neo:

Turns out the marketing trick worked a treat, with issues selling like hot cakes. Hot cakes with a panty filling. No doubt it helped that three different colours o༺f undergarments were on offer, with some completist PC enthusiasts rushing out and buying three copies of the magazine, thus collectingthe tricolour of undies. Gotta snatch 'em all.

And what does PC Angel Neo suggest its readership do with the fr🐻ee panties? It suggests this: 'you can wear it🗹, put on your head, or wipe your glasses with it. Use is unlimited - depends on your imagination!'

for bringing this vꩵery Japanese story to my attention.

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
