Inventor Spot mentions several flavors, including the one pictured, which is green tea with milk. There's also a "Red Azuki Bean" variation, as well as cherry-flavored white chocolate. Rinkya Blog makes mention of kiwi and orange, to name a couple. Japan Newbie from a while back showed packaging for melon and passion fruit. They point out the Wikipedia article as well, which lists a crapload of different varieties, including pumpkin and white chocolate with maple syrup. And here in America we get...chocolate. White chocolate sometimes. Dark chocolate if we're lucky. Bah. Categorized as: Food

07.03.07 by Widge @ 8:57 pm  Back when I used to drink, Jell-O shots were a fun and tasty way of consuming alcohol. Granted, back when I used to drink, there were few ways to consume alchohol that I did not consider fun and tasty, but alas, those were the days. Now, just in time for our American readers' July 4th celebrations: a recipe for creating buzz-worthy Jell-O shots is here, with the option to throw in some B-12 for good measure. Excellent! Fireworks and caffeine--two great tastes that taste great together! Categorized as: Caffeine and Food

06.16.07 by Widge @ 3:09 pm Two things: One. Would someone please mash this commercial up with the trailer for Alien? Pretty please? Two. Watch closely at the end...where they playing spaceman in a Porta Potty or is it just me? And after the break, while we're talking scary-retro commercials, watch Fruit Pie the Magician offer up his smaller, non-sentient cousins for the slaughter. Fun! Categorized as: Food

06.14.07 by Widge @ 7:03 pm  I had heard before that Twinkies, before they had regular old vanilla creme inside them, had banana creme filling instead. This ended due to a banana shortage in the 1940s. But now, having apparently tired of teasing Twinkie fans with banana creme in limited edition spurts (no pun intended), Banana Twinkies have returned. Assuming that there actually is real banana in there somewhere, now you can get some potassium along with scads of sugar! Bonus! Categorized as: Food and Headsup
