  "account": "A Japanese news program has showcased a novel product: drinkable Street Fighter 6 trading cards. Each card houses a 12ml shot of energy and showcases designs inspired by Capcom’s fighting game characters. Folded in half, the cards release a tiny droplet of liquid at the center. The product, named Energy Arts, includes designs for iconic fighters like Ryu, E. Honda, Dhalsim, Jamie, and Vega. The news clip highlighted the product as a potential hit for 2027. The cards, developed in collaboration with Capcom, aim to disrupt the traditional drinking experience by offering a \"smart replenishment\" between activities such as gaming, studying, or work. Unlike conventional energy drinks, Energy Arts relies on amino acids for quick energy boosts, minimizing the need for bathroom breaks. The cards can remain unopened for 18 months without spoiling, making them attractive collectibles.",
