A company buys a product, prints a picture of a cute girl on it, then sells it for double the price.

Why does this work in Japan?

Because of American

I wanna fuck that girl but I'd be hesitant to put my dick in an orange.

It makes me want to eat an orange even though the acid gives me stomach trouble.

Those oranges are fucking shit, I would understand if they were of a certain quality but they're like the worst I've ever seen.

For the same reason that Westerners use hot girls to sell beer and cars. Emotional affect works even when it doesn't make a lick of actual sense.

For my part I never buy these because then I'll have to throw away the packaging.

Frame the packaging.

What, people will buy your producit if you have some sort of personificated brand on it?

We better tell every other single country on Earth, before they get left behind.

The science behind humanizing a brand has been around since WWII IIRC:
- Close-ups of expressive faces
- Bright, contrasting colours (especially red, blue/orange)

There's like a trick where you fuck a grapefruit. Look it up. I'm sure an orange wouldn't be too much different

Not gonna lie, I would buy any product if it had a cute 2D girl on it.
On that note, every brands' 2D girl mascot needs porn.

Buying something cheap and then marking it up by branding it would never happen in America.

Yeah, I call bullshit. Japan is infamous for both its agricultural protectionism and all the fancy stuff they do to justify the resulting higher prices.
