We just closed a small distribution deal in Japan :) This is how the products are getting there. Barge on Mekong, big boats from Vietnam and China, train to Texas, truck to Miami, boat from FL through the panama canal back to Japan. This is actually less crazy than it seems!pic.twitter.com/i2C2nVOV5F

A knockoff version of our best seller is one of the best selling toys on http://amazon.co.jp I was SURE that this company was Chinese, but no haha. They seem to be Japanese. Copycat bastards! They even stole our slogan "Engineers Start Here"! https://www.amazon.co.jp/GESTAR%C2%AE-%E3%82%B8%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC-%E5%A4%A9%E6%89%8D%E3%81%AE%E3%81%AF%E3%81%98%E3%81%BE%E3%82%8A-%E5%8B%95%E7%94%BB%E8%AA%AC%E6%98%8E%E6%9B%B8%E4%BB%98%E5%B1%9E-%E3%81%9F%E3%81%A3%E3%81%B7%E3%82%8A500%E3%83%94%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9%EF%BC%8B20%E6%9E%9A%E5%A2%97%E9%87%8F%E4%B8%AD/dp/B073W9V2WB …pic.twitter.com/L0EEI04WEz

Our distributor in Japan ripped into our quality. She brought up a bunch of minor issues that were correctable. No one was mentioning them in the USA in customer feedback, but when we saw them, we knew they needed a fix. We will fix! Exporting is raising our quality level

What's the story behind brain flakes? Did you come up with it yourself?

I discovered interlocking plastic discs in China. They sold really well there, but didn't at all sell well in the USA so I saw an opportunity. I came up with the name and branding and over many years slowly improved the product. Improving quality and changing design.

Yes, it is bad for the environment that we are doing things in such a roundabout way. It turns out it is not that expensive because these containers go to Japan empty because the USA is a net importing nation.
