Why this phrase
POV at a theme park or stadium bag check. Kofuku plays the tourist with a konbini bag. Hana plays the staff pointing at 「持ち込み禁止」. Japanese cinemas often allow snacks. Disney, USJ, Ghibli Park, and many stadiums do not. Eat them before the gate, or they stay outside. Survival: one phrase, twice, slowly.
