Nasty Snacks

Posted on 31. Jan, 2006 @ 7:39 am by in Crazy Consumers, Food, Humor Views: 572

One of the fun things about Japan is the wide variety of yummy snacks. We’re all familiar with Pocky and the like, but sometimes… The imaginative qualities of the snacks, seem to be more important than the actual taste…

This is no exception.

Behold. GENGHIS KHAN CARAMEL. (What is GENGHIS KHAN)

It’s a caramel. That is MEAT FLAVORED.

And beleive me, it does NOT taste good. I literally almost gagged as I bit into the caramel and the strangely sweet creepy goodness flowed into my mouth. *SHUDDER*
NAST.
Also, 2 of 3 of my Japanese friends who tried agree. It’s foul.
Luckily, this stuff is sold only in Hokkaido… And Village Vanguard in Osaka… But I didn’t tell you that.

    I saw the picture on the box but still figured they might be good considering that they’re caramel. Then, I read the article…ick! meat flavor!? Why!?

    Also, thanks for the link to my site, it’s greatly appreciated.
