Strange thing I just noticed: How old is Marigold?

She's probably in her early 20s like most of the cast.

Not necessarily. She could have had that box of Pocky in her room at her parents' house and brought it with her when she moved. I've helped a friend of mine move a couple times, and he has boxes and boxes of junk he packed up when he moved out 15 years ago and hasn't opened since. But every move, they come along. It's hoarding.

I'm more curious as to what she does for a living, and what her relationship to Angus is.

Because only fat people have pocky. it all makes sense now.

Ah yes, who could forget the International Pocky Distribution Talks of the 1970's and 80's? Those Bulgarians just wouldn't back down.

That's not the way I read it. You can still buy Crystal Pepsi (and other vintage food products) on eBay. I don't think it would be much of a stretch for her to have done just that.


--- Quote ---As for her just bringing it with her by cramming it into a box, for it to end up under her bed she'd have to have swept it there to hide it from someone.
--- End quote ---
I don't think you quite understand the mechanics of a Marigold-level mess. Something as small as a box of pocky could get caught up in the general clutter and end up anywhere.


--- Quote --- However, delving into that hypothetical scenario would be even more reading too deep into it than I'm already doing.
--- End quote ---
All I'm saying is there are many ways a 10 year old box of pocky could have ended up under her bed that do not require her to have lived in that apartment for 10 years. I don't think this little detail is anywhere near significant or verifiable enough to provide any evidence at all on how old Marigold is or how long she's lived in the apartment. You are making considerably more assumptions than I am.

OH MY GOD SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP AND JUST READ MY POST AND SHUT UP

Acne need not be an indicator of age. My mom's acne persisted sometime into....I don't know, her 40's or 50's.

Mine hasn't really let up either, and I'm 27. If anything, it's just gotten more creative over the years, popping up in all sorts of fun new places, going boldly where no pimple should ever go.
