《English Translation》

刘娜: Yuko, did you see the news? Many people are now collecting milk tea bags, and they can even sell them for money.
优子: Huh? Aren’t bags thrown away after use? How can they be sold?
刘娜: Because some bags are collaborations or limited editions. People who like them buy them to collect, just like stamp collecting.
优子: I see! I used to collect anime merchandise too—feels kind of similar.
刘娜: Some people even buy three or four cups of milk tea at once just to get the new bags.
优子: Wow, drinking that much isn’t healthy, but collecting is really fun.
刘娜: Yes, but it should be done in moderation. Otherwise it becomes “over-consumption,” which isn’t good.
优子: I understand. It’s okay to like them, but don’t buy blindly just for the bags. That way it’s fun and not wasteful.
