Apple Stores In Japan Participate In 'Lucky Bag' Tradition
'Lucky bag' or Fukubukuro is a Japanese New Year's Day tradition, where bags with unknown merchandise are sold at huge discounts.Japanese Apple Stores prepare such lucky bags on every New Year's Day since 2004, and they're quite a hit with consumers.Penn Olson writer Rick Martin describes the hysteria surrounding this sale:I always considered myself a pretty big Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fan, but this event seems to bring out the most hard-core fanboys.

You'd be surprised to know, that some of these bags had a MacBook Air

Unless I was so rich I pissed liquid platinum and wiped with $100 bills, I would never spend that amount of money without knowing what I'm getting... and even then unless I wanted to take part in the "event" I still wouldn't

Get this tradition here please!

I'll send you a 'Lucky Bag' immediately then! ;)
