But isn't that why they freeze them? To keep them from waking up? Wouldn't you think if they packaged them that they would anticipate them waking up at some point and becoming obnoxiously loud?
I can't really follow the story We see Reimu being sold as cheap yukkuri and all that But then when do they wake up? While still in the store? What is that box Mister used to keep the Reimu in? Why didn't he take them out until they were all dead? It's really a confusing story, especially since, as Hitosura said, you'd expect this kind of product to be kept always asleep and in health, instead of letting them shit themselves and die of hunger and mold
My interpretation is that they weren't supposed to stay in the packaging that long, but nobody was buying them. So eventually the packs passed their expected shelf life and they started waking up. Someone in the store saw them moving and realized that the koreimu packs had "gone bad" so he tossed them in the garbage out back. I'm pretty sure the box is just a dumpster that's drawn with weird proportions in a some panels.

That's how I interpreted it. They were half-off because they were near expiration.
I guess when they're passed expiration, they wake up. Seems like a weird twist, as I wouldn't think they'd be able to wake up without being defrosted or something. So, yeah, he loads them up in a dumpster, and while waiting to be picked up, they all get to know one-another. The weird thing is, they were somehow taken to a dump and were incinerated. The thing is, it's clear they're predator food -- but predators prefer live food over dead food. The -real- unusual thing, though, was that they were in those things with no food, and somehow sung without starving to death/dehydrating. No food, no water, and somehow didn't cry/pee/poop themselves to death within the first five seconds, as seen from plenty of other comics with little kos being born.
Kind of sad, but not beyond the normal (overly depressing) yukkuri story.
Curious how they got mold, though. They look like they're vacuum-packed.

You're right about this. It really doesn't make sense if they were properly freeze dried and vacuum packed. In most stories where you have packed yus like these, they have to be both at room temperature and out of the package.
The only real explanation is that the factory making these packages is a filthy, nasty place. They wouldn't randomly grow mold unless it was on them in the first place. Cultured foods have live bacteria in them, but this is bean paste manju, not yogurt.
If the package was actually sealed, it would keep the humidity in the cells constant, so they probably wouldn't feel the need to drink or pee.
If it took place during the winter, the dumpster would be cool and it might keep them in a winter state so their need to feed would be drastically reduced by hibernation metabolism.

They probably all shat themselves like the first one who did that, you can see there's a bunch of black lines under the last Reimu left alive when she shows mold herself.
