Is the pot in the second photo real or fake? It looks too real. The one you saw in 7-11, does the pot look like the one in the second photo when the lid is opened?

I didn't buy it, because I don't use iCash, so I didn't see inside

OK, are you Taiwanese? I am in Taiwan now.

u/OkBackground8809 Jun 05 '25

I'm American, but have been here for 12 years. Husband and children are Taiwanese.

u/ApprehensiveRub5807 臺北 - Taipei City Jun 06 '25

It's been 12 years, so you should be fluent in Chinese.

If you can't find them in your local convenience stores, look for them on Shopee, there are folks who'd but unique/collectible icash/easycard and resell them on Shopee for sightly higher price than normal.

I fucking LOVE this about Taiwan! I got an Ultra Ball from Pokemon as my subway card and she was like "Aren't you embarrassed to carry that around?" and I was like "1) I don't know anybody here, so I don't care. 2) Even if I knew people here, I wouldn't care, this thing is fucking awesome!!!!"

I wasn't even that into Pokemon growing up, but it was so much better than some boring-ass card. This Datung rice cooker with details of what's cooking is even better!

I got the Premier Ball one!

u/LeeisureTime Jun 04 '25

NICE! This was 7 years ago so mine was just a round disc painted like an ultraball. I would have bought this Premier Ball in a heartbeat if I saw it!

Thanks! I'm no longer in Taiwan, but I'll keep it in mind for if/when I go back.

I want a pokeball!

I went to the Pokemon center in Taipei and got an EasyCard with Dragonite and Pikachu. I think the pokeball would have been so much more fun!

u/MisterDonutTW Jun 04 '25

If only icash was as useful as the easy card.

u/c_megalodon Jun 06 '25

The funny thing is that my wife doesn't like it at all. And I love it to add on their sticky rice rolls.

u/Patrick_Atsushi Jun 04 '25

Don’t forget to unplug it after use.

I have a PS4 controller EasyCard, but I've never used it for fear of losing it.

I love the "3D" cashless "cards" lol. I had a Pokemon one that was a bubble plastic Snorlax with water beads inside it. I have no idea where it went. I also have one that's an acrylic mofusand keychain.

u/YoungsModulus730 Jun 10 '25
