Slimes in your glass are a good thing as long as they’re awesome Dragon Quest ice cubes
There are some things that are nice to have in your drink, such as those little paper umbrellas, or a shot of bourbon. On the other end of the spectrum, there are things no one’s happy about having slipped into their beverage, like a mickey, whether it be the mouse or the incapacitating drug.
Ordinarily, slimes would fall into the latter category. But what if the slime were actually an ice-cube, and shaped like the beloved mascot monsters from role-playing game series Dragon Quest?
Last month, publisher Square Enix released a slime-shaped drinking glass. Now, the company is continuing its efforts to combine the rotund creature with refreshing beverages with this slime ice cube mold.

CHIBA – The Narita Express started direct runs Saturday from Narita International Airport to stations close to Mount Fuji, linking the nation’s main gateway with the World Heritage site in roughly 3½ hours.
The daily roundtrip service, which will run on weekends and holidays on a seasonal basis, allows travelers to reach Mount Fuji, which was finally added to UNESCO’s World Heritage list in June last year, without having to change trains in Tokyo until Sept. 28.
