    Why did you replace the 「と」with “&”

    It would be better if you left the original text in the quote unaltered

      I didn’t. I wrote ＆ because it looks like the text actually says ＆ as far as I can tell – not と.

        Well it does say 「と」 on the packaging

        I assumed you replaced it because as a particle it can be used as a particle to say “and” in Japanese

        For example

        あさみ と みほ.
        (Real Japanese won’t have spaces in it, I just added them for this example to indicate the names and the particle)

        Means “Asami and Miho”
