Japan's Bonbon Drop sticker craze spurring sellouts, fakes

OSAKA - Sticker trading that was popular among children decades ago is making a comeback in Japan, but this time with a new range leading the trend.

Plump and with a glass-like transparency, Bonbon Drop stickers, produced by Osaka-based stationery maker Q-Lia Co., have been selling out as children and adults snatch up sheets as soon as they arrive at stores. Their popularity has also led to counterfeits and arrests.
