Thong Anyone?

I saw these yesterday in a shop window. Growing up in Malaysia we used to wear these everyday and we called them 'slippers'. But in Australia they are called 'thongs'. Yes, like the ones that rides up your crack type of thong!

Would you pay $10 for a pair of these? How about $15 for the 'World Cup' version? Seriously who in their right minds would pay so much for a pair of 'kiam hu'? Would you buy them? I bet they're made in China too, I'm in the wrong business...
