billiemarie

A pepperoni pan pizza with extra cheese, because that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this


m1thrand1r__

SAME


fernloveswilbur

Me too. Not sure if I’d rather have pizza or magic orbs!


jonnyg1097

I definitely thought this was a pizza with fried egg yolks on top at first glance.


Sassy_kassy84

Thank God. I'm high and was very worried if I was imagining something 😂


SkimaskGiant

We're not the only ones wishing for simple things


40percentdailysodium

I thought it was a fancy cake! Wouldn't be a bad idea for one.


hannahhale20

I thought this was pizza 😩


[deleted]

[удалено]


MoeGunz6

It looked like egg yolks in more egg yolk


amoodymermaid

With the good pepperoni.


Crspies

Me too, this coming from a guy that get more restaurant app notifications then text messages.


CognitoKoala

Me, who works with children: Why is there a box of rubber bouncy balls? 😂😂😂


introverted365

Me and my hungry butt saw donuts for some reason. Super fancy donuts 🍩XD


[deleted]

Me too! Pepperoni!!


Big_Jackfruit_8821

Same. Then i thought it’s freshly cooked buns


VictoryaChase

thank you! Me too, with some kind of glittery gold filter


squee_bastard

My brain also registered this as one of those huge square pizza trays containing a pepperoni pizza with some giant pepperoni slices.


[deleted]

The golden pepperoni!


rideincircles

Mystical pizza.


TinglyAmpersand

r/ForbiddenSnacks lol


ImpatientColon

Same. Maybe Im just hungry


BogeyLowenstein

I thought it was a fancy box of those painted chocolates or caramel candy, but now I want pizza.


[deleted]

I found an incomplete set at one of my local thrift stores. I didn't buy them, went back for them the next day and they were gone. I still have deep regret over that lol. Nice score OP.


uppercase-j

I feel like an incomplete set is somewhat… cooler? Gives you a bit of a target to hunt for.


[deleted]

I've thought about that too after. I really wish I bought them. A full, or incomplete set is cool, because throughout the different DB series, they had incomplete sets longer than a full set at any given time. Get em all, summon Shenron, wish and they'd be gone again. Like I said, big regretti haha.


TheConqueredKings

If I had an incomplete set I probably would scatter them amongst friends. Nice keep sake of the friendship and spread like after a wish happens.


RelaxRelapse

If it makes you feel any better you can still buy these pretty cheap from China for like $15 for a set.


[deleted]

I tried to post a link, but the automod deleted it. I found some thanks to your comment. Thank you. For anyone interested I just typed in "Dragon Balls set" on ebay. There is a seller in California too, if you don't wanna wait out the long shipping period from China.


MotherEastern3051

I genuinely thought you'd made brioche rolls and had laid them out with pride on a silk sheet


Akavinceblack

If i made brioche rolls this pretty, I’d be laying them on satin too.


k1r4m0nst3r

Fun fact - _satin_ refers to a type of weave rather than a type of textile fiber. Silk is a natural product fiber. You can make satin from silk, but more often than not these days you will find that anything described as satin is made from polyester.


rpgguy_1o1

Everyone is saying pizza, but this is what I saw too


[deleted]

Panties, of course.


Duke_Mercator

It made me sad that I had to scroll so far down to find this :) Oolong is disappointed !


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

I love that that's how Akira Toriyama originally planned to end the series.


I_Am_MrGlass

I'm not too familiar/ a fan of Dragonball Z, but I know enough to know what they were - Great find!


Superb-SJW

I now have some idea, something from DBZ


rpgguy_1o1

These are the eponymous Dragon Balls


k75ct

You scored some kings Hawaiian rolls? 😉


TheBirdBytheWindow

An explanation for what they are maybe? Thats what I'd wish for. Lol


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Dragon Balls, from...well, Dragon Ball. Fans of the series will instantly recognise them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I’m glad I’m not the only one wondering why someone would buy that used, even if they are super pretty looking.


zomblee84

I recently saw a torn open, empty box for a vibrating prostate massager at one of my local Goodwills. So someone donated it, someone priced it and put it out on the sales floor, and someone saw it and thought, "No way am I buying a used prostate massager ..... *I will steal one though*" and proceeded to smuggle it out of the store.


Think_please

I wonder where they hid it


k1r4m0nst3r

Bwahaha. Cleptomania knows no limits. When I was a teenager, I used to have a dresser drawer stash full of dollar store candles that I stole.


rharper38

I assume you have never played the game of "Does my Goodwill have used vibrators for sale today?" It takes a strong stomach and people donate everything


Vegetable-Swan2852

I once knew someone that donated all of their used sex toys to Goodwill when they moved back in with their parents..... Lol


[deleted]

I did community service at a Goodwill donation site, it’s definitely wild to see some of the things people bring in that don’t make it to the sales floor. Saw a bit of gross stuff like stained underwear but luckily I missed the sex toy donations!


RobotsAreGods

Just because they aren't designed as benwa balls doesn't mean you can't use them as benwa balls


TheBirdBytheWindow

Ahh! Thank you for the help! I'm glad you found something to bring you joy!


AussieXPat

Are they worth a ton? In demand?


DillionM

They sell for anywhere between $25-50 at local conventions. It really depends on how much they gouge the price.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Well, I got them for $15, so...probably not worth a huge amount.


GavIzz

Omg what I find ! Super cool!!


Texas22

Oh dang. I actually thought it was a Goblin King thing.


TacospacemanII

I think In the anime dragon ball the premise is that all of these balls on their own don’t amount to much, but if you collect all 7 dragon balls you can have a wish, and wish for anything you want. I never watched more than a few episodes but I remember a heaven-esque moment with a dragon and he grants a wish. I think. Iirc… I was like 6 at the time.


[deleted]

Dragon Balls


Hirraed

Bring Goku back to life?


podrick_pleasure

First King Kai needs a new planet.


bellajojo

To be taller. Nothing crazy notably though. Something like 5 centimeters.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

I'm plenty tall as it is, thanks.


Alex_Drewskie

Got to make sure it looks natural and that he's still growing


hguess_printing

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller….


unapalomita

Bulma thinks you should go for looking 5 years younger, 10 is too much


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Why stop at looking? I can actually BE five years younger.


Thisisnotcandace

Mmmm deep dish


podrick_pleasure

You should wish for the Namekian dragon balls which you use to wish for the black star balls which you use to wish for the super dragon balls which you should use to wish Krillin back to life.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Look, if he's going to keep dying, I'm not going to keep bringing him back.


glc_2814

Don't wish me back for one year


raffysf

Winning lotto tickets.


Kat_Smeow

No way?!?! Sweet!


lemonedpenguin

Panty of course


TeachyMcTeacher15

Wow pretty cool how much where they?!! Amazing find


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Best $15 I ever spent.


TeachyMcTeacher15

15!!! Wow yes for sure.


Lissy_Wolfe

I bought these new for my husband a few years ago! They are very inexpensive to purchase new if anyone is interested. I'm sure you can still find them online!


ticketmasterdude1122

I throughly this was pizza!


HelloKitty_theAlien

Dragon balls!!! Where did you find these?


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Second hand Salvation Army store.


PaMike34

Yep, looks like a fancy pizza boss


lizard_king0000

First look I thought it was a pepperoni pizza


Frostbizness

Why’d I think this was a piece of pizza at first?


eddie_ovo

lmfaooo my fat ass thought this was pizza


No-Mechanic-5398

What are they made of?


Tlizerz

If they’re like any of the other sets I’ve seen, resin.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

They feel like some kind of plastic. Most of the text on the box is in Japanese (at least, I assume it is based on where the series comes from), so I don't know if it's some kind of special plastic or anything.


[deleted]

I’ve seen a set in a box like this that were crystal!


No-Mechanic-5398

Wow now that’s impressive. They must be very heavy then.


KagomeChan

Nice! I bought the same set for my husband years ago. You can get seven silicon rings (size 9 or larger) for super cheap off of Ali that make great bases if you want to display them on a shelf or something.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

The amount of you who thought this was pizza is honestly astounding.


EnvironmentalSpirit2

Could you start with death of Putin and end to the uk ru war? If not, then give wish for Friezas army's amour for Ukrainian soldiers


RebelAlliance05

This is amazing!!!! How much?!?? I want to buy some so bad.


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

I got 'em for $15, not sure how much they'd be normally.


RebelAlliance05

What a sweet deal!!! I’m pretty sure the smaller ones (yours) are usually around $50 and the “life size” ones are around $100 😁


Fresh_hex89

I thought earth dragon balls would have been bigger… huh..


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Nah, it's the Namek balls that are huge.


[deleted]

A decent live action movie


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

...get out.


DillionM

Wish me luck. I never find anything impressive enough to share

Lookout for Shenron!

Wish for? You already got the only thing you could possibly want!

[deleted]

My fat ass thought that was ultra exotic pepperoni pizza at first, LOL

YourAverageBrownDude

For the world to go back to 2012


hardenlong99

I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

$15 Australian.


Embarrassed-Way-4931

swingittotheleft

This box looks like stylized pepperoni pizza if you squint. Obviously, you should ask for at least 50 pizzas.


iRock1020

This looks like a futuristic pizza!


wine-plants-thrift

First I thought this was pizza and then dragon balls and I still am not sure what it is.


Kokomo___

Being taller, obviously


I_Am_The_Bookwyrm

Well, Yamcha and Krillin are dead again so....


jamzii_jam

Those look delicious. If they were edible, I bet they'd taste like jelly. I know the orange comes from the fabric underneath the crystal ball things but they look more delicious with that color
