Every once in a while, a friend of mine who is currently doing some sort of incomprehensible technological tomfoolery in that friendly little island in the sea, Japan, will send me a box of various edible whatnots from the East. One arrived today, containing the following things:

- one large tub of lobster-flavored ramen noodles

- three small packages of "chapagetti Chinese spagetti [sic]!"

- one small bag of unidentified candy droplets with menacing cartoon face on front, legend "SUPER!", maufactured by Shigekix, flavor impossible to discern from package but appears to be water-flavored based on graphic of man made of liquid wearing crown

- one large bag of unidentified candy lozenges manufactured by Kasugai, featuring images of herbs, plants and seashells on package

- one large box of "Men's Pocky"

- one small packet of Glico Poscam chewing gum, flavor unidentified

- one large box of "EVERY BURGER", which I think is either a candy or a cookie that looks like a cheeseburger

- one large bottle of something entirely in Japanese except for the terrifying words "drinking vinegar"

I can't wait to take these to work on Monday!
