Hmm? They were from Taiwan.

Well thinking about it more, I think the problem is just the definition of "sticky" as compared to "fluffy".
I think of "fluffy" as rice that does not stick together and has every grain distinct and separated from the others. Minute Rice comes to mind.

I use grocery store long grain most of the time, and cooked right, it will stick together some, but not to the degree of the stuff used for sushi and such.
