Nicolas Cage Is The Face Of A Popular Japanese Snack Called ‘Nicolastick’

TAXI Daily News / 5 hours from now

Makers of the popular snack Umaibo has partnered with the Japanese cinematic release of Hollywood movie Army of One, known to Japanese moviegoers as Ore no Emono wa bin Laden (Bin Laden is my Prey). 
 
The partnership involves releasing a special edition Umaibo snack called ‘Umaibo Nicolastick’ in reference to actor Nicolas Cage’s role in the movie. An announcement was also made through the movie’s Japanese Twitter account. 

Umaibo has long been a favorite of kids and junk food-loving adults in Japan, thanks to its low price and many flavor options. However, the ‘Nicolastick’ will just be a repackaged edition of the standard Umaibo, which is the corn-flavored snack. 

Sadly, the ‘Nicolastick’ would not be sold in stores. The only way to get your hands on them is to purchase advance tickets for Bin Laden is My Prey when they go on sale on 13 October 2017 at Tokyo’s Cinema Shinjuku, Osaka’s Cinemart Shinsaibashi, or Nagoya’s Century Cinema. 1,500 yen (US$14) gets you a ticket to the movie and an undisclosed number of ‘Nicolasticks.’ 

Bin Laden is my Prey would premiere in Japanese theaters on 16 December 2017.
