Jesus Christ!!! 8 usd for a snack?!?!

Yes, Jumping Bejebus on a pogo stick!
It worked out to 40yen/38 cents per chip, which one of my charming 3Yen fans gave me.
(Yes, even an old frog like me has Japanese groupies…It’s kind of cute, if not strange that whenever a guy mets with a Japanese girl, she gives them some small present).

Re, ‘ after e in Royce’. Let me see if my understanding/research is right, based on
http://www.legalwritingpro.com/articles/C15-feeling-possessive.php

’s is added to form the possessive singular of nouns, as in Royce’s chocolates.
Exceptions: Classical or biblical names, such as Moses, which take only an apostrophe: Moses’.

Justice Scalia and the New York Times style manual says:

[O]mit the s after the apostrophe when a word ends in two sibilant sounds (the ch, j, s, sh, ts or z sounds) separated only by a vowel sound: Kansas’ Governor; Texas’ population; Moses’ behalf.

However, a more modern approach says either way (just “‘” or “’s” is fine.
