Daiso has been known in Japan for selling most items in its outlets at just 100 yen. However, some of them are not sold exactly at that price when tax is also factored in. In fact, the Sanrio Poppin’ Cider bottles have a tax-inclusive price tag of 108 yen.

In addition, Daiso has put up several fine print regarding the availability of the bottles. Some of its outlets may sell the drinks at a later date, and some of them may not even sell these at all.

The Sanrio Characters Poppin’ Cider bottles are immediately available for purchase in limited numbers at many Daiso outlets across Japan.
