Another Bit Of Japan

This week's puzzler:



What? Why?
Open to anyone who can provide an explanation or hazzard a guess.



The product marketed by the "Otani Slim Company" is not what's actually in this package!

Well, I have an unfair advantage, because I took a few years of Japanese. While I don't remember what the stuff written in hiragana means, the katakana part reads "banana milk" so... Between that, and the palm tree in the background, and knowing that coconuts grow on palm trees... I'm going to guess this is some sort of banana-flavored coconut snack or beverage.

Oh, wait... That's probably what's being advertized by Otani, huh?

In which case... Nevermind. It's something flat, right? Like a ticket? To an island? Or maybe a lottery ticket?

"That's probably what's being advertized by Otani, huh?"

Dispite your Japanese abilities, others are closer to point #2 than you are here.

"It's something flat, right? "

On point #1, yes. It's pretty flat, though not completely flat.

"Like a ticket? To an island? Or maybe a lottery ticket?"

Nope, cold. Thanks for guessing.

Ok, so Otani is advertizing basically a banana-flavored Slim Fast shake?

And inside the package is a blow up doll! :)
