This is fascinating.

If you order a box of frozen Kobe beef croquettes from Asahiya, a family-run butcher shop in Takasago City in western Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture, it’ll take another 30 years before you receive your order.

What are the chances that they’ll still be shipping these orders in 30+ years, or that they’ll still be able to find your current address by then? Would you even remember that you had placed this order?
