20 Strangest Japanese Candies

Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - Pikko.info, " Welcome to visit on our info site."

If their candy is any indication, the Japanese have a completely different philosophy about making candy than Americans. Ranging from useful to outright odd, their candy is often designed to serve a double purpose. Here are the twenty strangest confectioneries Japan has to offer:

1. Bust Up Gum. Are you a woman? Unhappy with your breast size? Well, the makers of Bust Up Gum claim chewing their gum can make your breasts fuller and firmer. They also claim the gum can improve the look of your hair and nails.




2. Yuzu Kit Kat. It’s safe to say Japan has some odd twists on an English and American favorite, the Kit Kat bar. In this version, they add Yuzu (a Japanese cross between a lemon and a lime) and . . . hot pepper. Yes, hot pepper.

3. No Time Gum. Out and about? No time to brush your teeth? This gum is a brilliant way to keep your teeth clean. Simply pop it into your mouth and chew after a meal.

4. Suplitol Tongkat Ali Gum for Men. The makers of Bust Up Gum also make a gum for men—this one to enlarge penis size.

5. Echizen Kurage candy. Already reported by Weird Asian News, this candy is made from echizen kurage, a 6-foot, 440-pound jellyfish. Developed by students at Obama Fisheries High School, this confectionary comes in the flavor of a combination of jellyfish and caramel.

Also available as cookies.

6. Every Burger. Have you ever craved a bourbon chocolate cookie that absolutely must be shaped like a hamburger? Well, search no more. Every Burger has what you need.

If chocolate is not your thing, but Burgers still are, then you might enjoy some burger flavored hard candies… Yum!
7. Ika. This concoction consists of dried squid covered in chocolate. Hey, why not? The French did it with ants, you know.

8. Okonomiyaki Drops. Another candy drop based on okonomiyaki, or “Japanese pizza.” Mayo, cabbage, and radish flavorings abound in this drop. Yum.

9. Grilled Lamb caramels. That’s right: grilled lamb flavored caramels.

10. Pepperfruits. This particular gum is made of different types of fruit mixed with peppercorn. Hold on : this isn’t as crazy as it sounds. Supposedly, peppercorn is a fruit. See? Fruity, peppery. Totally works.

11. Takoyaki Drops. A candy drop based on takoyaki, a food in which octopus is dropped into a ball of cooking batter, then topped with Japanese mayonnaise and green onions, this little sweet is said to “taste like a meal.”

12. Cake Soda. You may not be able to have your cake and eat it, too . . . but you can drink it. This lovely light soda is sure to give you tooth decay. But hey, after drinking you can always pop in a piece of No Time Gum.

13. Chocolate Beer. To be fair, the Japanese aren’t the first to mix beer and chocolate. Perhaps the makers thought they’d kill two pleasures with one stone.

14. Green Tea Milk Kit Kats. What? No time for that cup of green milk tea? Get it in your Kit Kat bar.

15. Campaign candy. It seems Japan was as interested in American’s elections in 2008 as Americans were. They made candy with Obama’s and McCain’s likeness, as well as candy pieces that said, “Vote.”

16. Drug candy. No, this isn’t what you’re thinking. It’s just candy spiked with supplements to give you energy or increase your brain function.

17. Chocolate art. These sweets are pure chocolate, but the reason they are manufactured may sound a little weird to American women: in Japan, Valentine’s day is for men, and these chocolates are given to men from women on Valentine’s day.

18. Gummy Choco. Please. You know you love gummy candy with a . . . chocolate coating.

19. Coffee chewing gum. For that long-lasting coffee breath. Come to think of it, we have this, too. It’s called Starbucks.

20. Deviled egg candy. Not sure what the appeal is of candy shaped like real food, but this one misses the boat if you’re looking for that charming real egg depression for the “yolk.”

Man Almost Loses Penis Humping Steel Bench

Last night in Hong Kong, the police received a disturbing call from a man in trouble.
Xing, a 41 year-old man, was calling from LanTian park in the middle of the night. The lonely and disturbed man had apparently thought it would be fun to have sex with one of the steel sit-up benches around the park.
The bench has numerous small holes in it, which Xing used to attempt to satisfy himself.



However, once he became aroused he found that he was stuck and could not get his penis out of the small hole.
He panicked and called the police to help him.


When police arrive they found Xian stuck face down where he had been stuck for some time.
When doctors arrived on the scene they tried to release some of the pressure by removing some of his blood, but the penis was so swollen that they ended up having to cut the entire bench free and take it, with Xian attached, to the hospital.



4 painful hours later, Doctors finally separated Xian from his bench.
Doctors stated that if he had been stuck for even an hour longer, they would have had to remove his penis.




Lets just say this is probably one bad date that Xing will never forget.

2,000,000+ Naked Hindu Men and Counting….

Public nudity is a frightening prospect responsible for countless people screaming, “OMG! I’m naked!” in their dreams. No such fear burdened the minds of over 2 million Hindu men, however, as they waddled butt-naked through the Ganges River in celebration of Kumbh Mela.

Kumbh Mela is a mass pilgrimage wherein men, especially holy men (Sadhus), travel long distances and endure numerous physical discomforts for a chance to wash away their sins. You see, devout Hindus strongly believe that the Ganges River holds the power to eliminate past sins (Karma), thereby freeing the individual from the cycle of life and death (Moksha) and bringing them closer to the supreme being (Braham).
The 100-day festival occurs every three years across four cities: Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nashik. The pictures included in this piece derive from Haridwar, where on February 12th, the Pratham Shani Snan (or First Royal Bath) was celebrated.




Anil Sharma, a lawyer who attended the festivities, explained the baths further, saying, “Because of the way the stars are aligned during the Kumbh, all the good things you do get multiplied and your sins are washed away.” According to Hindu astrologers, in fact, the Kumbh Mela occurs whenever the planet Jupiter enters Aquarius and the Sun enters Aries.

The actual mythology behind Kumbh Mela is somewhat different, however. Ancient Hindu literature speaks of a war between the gods and demons over nectar needed to achieve a state of total immortality. During this conflict, four droplets of nectar spilled onto the Earth and landed at the four cities mentioned above.
As for the actual festivities, the truth is that not everyone was butt-naked. Some wore undergarments, while others merely smeared their bodies with ash. And on the outskirts of the river were throngs of cheering and dancing supporters, not to mention thousands of Po-Pos assigned to prevent stampedes and protect from a terrorist attack.




“We are keeping an eye on every moment,” said deputy inspector Alok Sharma. “We are well prepared for this day.”




This year’s festivities were of special importance because the Sadhus are trying to highlight the issue of global warming. Soham Baba, the de facto leader of the Sadhus, elaborated, “Sadhus like us who go up to the higher reaches of the Himalayas to meditate have a clear picture of how bad the situation is.”
He added, “Pristine lakes and waterfalls that existed till a few years ago have dried up.”

Baby Dinosaurs Fell Prey To Giant Snake

An incredible window into the prehistoric past has been opened by the scientific, life-like, reconstruction of the nearly complete remains of an 11-foot long, 67 million year old serpent that was found near a village in Gujarat in western India.
A team of paleontologists from all over the world meticulously prepared the fossil.
Coiled around a crushed dinosaur egg in the nest of a sauropod, the largest dinosaur that ever lived, the snake was given the moniker, Sanajeh indicus, which translates roughly into “ancient-gaped one from India.”
The scientific name tells a story about snake evolution, as unlike modern snakes, this one couldn’t eat large prey because it lacked mobile skull and a wide gape.




Depicted above in this sculpture by Tyler Keillor, which was enhanced by original photography by Ximena Erickson and modified by Bonnie Miljour, is a representation of the first and last sight of a newborn dinosaur, unable to defend itself against a giant adversary.
“We think that the hatchling had just exited its egg, and that activity attracted the snake. It was such a thrill to discover such a portentous moment frozen in time,” explained paleontologist, Dhananjay Mohabey, from the Geological Survey of India who first discovered the snake in 1987.
The area where the fossilized remains were found contains hundreds of egg clutches and findings suggest that this newly discovered serpent survived by preying upon dinosaur nests and eating the newly-hatched babies. From all suggested evidence, these hatchlings were left by adults to fend for themselves.
“It would have been a smorgasbord… Hundreds or thousands of defenseless baby sauropods could have supported an ecosystem of predators during the hatching season, said researcher Jason Head, a paleontologist at the University of Toronto at Mississauga.
The discovery of this snake also suggests another theory about dinosaurs that contradicts popular belief of the last century; namely that dinosaurs grew slowly and lived up to 8 decades.
“More recent research suggests they actually grew very fast, reaching say three-fourths of adult body size in their teens and living to 30 or 40 years old. After their first year, they might be about 2 meters long (6 feet), too big for this snake to take in,” says paleontologist, Jeff Wilson, from the University of Michigan.




Dinner, anyone?
What do YOU think of this?

India’s Pot-Smoking Hindu Temple Dwellers

Weed, pot, ganja, dope, mary jane, reefer, skunk, and chronic—they all refer to marijuana, that illicit substance used by so many, yet illegal across most of the civilized world. Despite the ‘war on drugs,’ pot smokers continue to light up in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and even India.




 

Hinduism has long been associated with pot. Since approximately 1500 BC, in fact, Hindu worshipers have been consuming pot—whether smoking it through a chillum [clay pipe] or drinking bhang, a mixture consisting of the pot mixed with milk, spice, and sugar—in the hope of achieving a higher spiritual level.
Consider Bangalore’s Chitradurga district in Karnataka state, southern India. It’s a hilly region lined with dilapidated fortresses from times of antiquity; modern-day schools, colleges, and libraries; and many temples, one of which is notorious for its pot-smoking Hindu inhabitants.
According to Jaipal Sharma from Asian News International, every March the temple’s devotees smoke pot in celebration of their diety Nayakana Hatti Tipperudraswami, whom they claim is the incarnation of Hindu God Lord Shiva. He says that the tradition has been occurring for over 800 years.
“He (Tipperudraswami) attained Moksha (salvation) at this place,” a member of the temple committee told Sharma. And so the devotees believe that by smoking pot, they can follow in Tipperuddaswami’s path and also attain salvation.
What’s interesting, however, is that the temple devotees refuse to share their pot, a trait quite unusual since most pot smokers love to share their stash with anybody willing to participate.
An irritated hermit shared this sentiment with Sharma, saying, “In our Shavana community, many people call it as ‘Ganja’ or ‘Patri.’ But it is none of these. It is ‘Shiva Patri.” He also added, “I should say that only the Shavana community should be allowed to smoke it. No other people have authority over it.”
Good luck with that mission, Mr. Scrooge!
