Fujiya's mascot, Peko-chan

2007 ingredients scandal
In January 2007, Fujiya was the subject of a scandal when it became known that the company had used expired ingredients in its products, prompting the resignation of its president, Rintaro Fujii.[3]
gollark: There's also the secret tunnel network™, connecting exactly two locations with an 8000-block-long tunnel nobody ever uses.
gollark: And it turns out rails actually cost significantly more than I thought.
gollark: The rail thing isn't actually widely deployed since there are also unlimited `/home` locations.
gollark: I tend to play on lightly modded servers, so we have things like nether iceways and my automatically routed rail network there.
gollark: They're not deliberately making a weird pricing structure. The tokens are just a way to compact the input before it goes into the model. These things are often (partly) based on "transformers", which operate on a sequence of discrete tokens as input/output, and for which time/space complexity scales quadratically with input length. So they can't just give the thing bytes directly or something like that. And for various reasons it wouldn't make sense to give it entire words as inputs. The compromise is to break text into short tokens, which *on average* map to a certain number of words.
