Trivial pursuit question

Just got this message from PAC (I think it was):

"JAPANESE FORCES HAVE JUST INVADED JAVA X COFFEE RATIONING BEGINS TOMORROW X JUST BE HAPPY THEY DON'T INVADE VIRGINIA X".

What the heck is in Virginia?

Well, you kinda have to look at the WHOLE message to understand that...

Haha, I thought it might have been a little deeper than that. You know in Japan they have Vermont curry? So I thought it might have been something like that ... ah well....

Smokes with no filter.

BTW, Is Camel the only commercially available cigarette left that's from WW2? I mean the variant without filter? I know they had Lucky Strikes back in WW2, but nowadays they don't do the filter-less ones. Besides, Lucky Strike's being discontinued here in Australia. Shame that.

Golden Bat is still produced in Japan Manjushaka. Golden Bat cigarettes were often given to the local people in Manchuria (along with a opium tip) to stop them from rebelling. Obviously you can't get them with the opium tip anymore haha. Not sure if you could get them in Australia though. If you live near on the the big cities you could try JapanMart which often has a fairly big range of stuff from Japan (obviously hehe) at rather inflated prices imho
