Japan has a Nicolas Cage snack food called 'Nicolastick'

Nicolas Cage's mug is being used on the packaging of a Japanese snack food. Because, of course it is.

RocketNews24 writes that Cage's endorsement of Umaibo's "Nicolastick," a 10-cent corn chowder-flavored cheese puff stick, is part of a promotion for the Japanese film Ore no Emono wa bin Laden (Bin Laden is My Prey):

[The film] observes several Japanese cinematic traditions by being quaintly renamed from the original title (Army of One), having an official Japanese-market title (Finding bin Laden) that doesnt match the meaning of its Japanese one, and coming out long, long after its original release (Army of One premiered in November of 2016 in America, but Bin Laden is My Prey wont hit Japanese theaters until this December).

Sadly, the Nicolastick wont be sold in stores. The only way to get your hands on them is to purchase advance tickets for Bin Laden is My Prey when they go on sale on October 13 at Tokyos Cinema Shinjuku, Osakas Cinemart Shinsaibashi, or Nagoyas Century Cinema, or through online ticketing service Major at a yet-to-be-determined date. 1,500 yen (US$14) gets you a ticket to the movie and an undisclosed number of Nicolasticks.

Well, dang. I really wanted one.
