31 or...?

This is from ages ago but I ate ice cream with two friends of a friend who were in Tokyo to see Utada Hikaru's WILD LIFE concert! We were looking for a place to eat ice cream in winter and went to the koban (police stand) to ask, because cops should know where that stuff is. (And they did, very kindly, point us to the nearest Baskin Robbins.)

Baskin Robbins in Japan is called 31. Because when the initials B and R are put together they kind of form the number 31. I don't get it.

Baskin Robbins ice cream is expensive here but so festive~!

  1. B & R offers 31 flavors of ice cream. Set of flavors change from time to time but number of flavors available in every store is always 31.
