清清：我上次去逛街，也注意到了。我看到好多人把吊飾、照片或娃娃什麼的放進小包裡，掛在包包上。那叫什麼啊？

翻譯 Translation
Huahua: Hey, have you noticed that recently many people have a small transparent bag attached to their backpacks?
Qingqing: Yeah, I noticed that last time I went shopping. Many people put keychains, photos or dolls into small bags and hang them on their backpacks. What’s that called?
Huahua: I heard there are two types. One is called an “ita bag,” and the other is called a “doll display bag” or a “show-off-your-doll bag.”
Qingqing: I’ve heard of the “ita bag.” It’s a bag for displaying things that you like. But this is the first time I have heard of a “show-off-your-doll bag.” What’s with the name?
Huahua: It’s named that because people put their favorite dolls into transparent bags, take them out to take photographs of them and show them off to others.
Qingqing: I see. Are the dolls handmade?
Huahua: Some are idol merchandise, some are anime characters and some are people’s own designs.
Qingqing: That sounds interesting. It’s also a way to express yourself and share your interests with others.

Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common.
