So…the gravel pit, the one I used to play in when I wasn’t harassing jellyfish, is no longer. It’s now something safer but much more boring, a gravel parking lot. The change is okay, though, because the gravel pit will live on in my memories, just as fun Japanese candies exist in my present.
Choco Baby! Um, baby.
This candy’s colors and cute font caught my eye, prompting me to pick it up at the Japanese supermarket. While starting this Web site, one of the few things that came easiest was the tagline, “Asian Aisle…where the familiar meets the not-so-familiar.” I knew that I wanted to feature both things, in terms of Asian items, and I feel especially delighted when it’s the latter for many of you. And fortunately, another good thing that has come from this blog is that a lot of you dear readers have introduced items to me, as well…
I’ll return to my above tease later in this post, because I’ve actually previously mentioned these type of mangoes. (Manila Mangoes are from Mexico.)
A box of Sweet Tamarind from Thailand.
Altoids got nothin’ on you, Kitty Nothin’ on you, Kitty Will I ever stop not-so-secretly loving Hello Kitty things and singing along to catchingly annoying songs on the radio? Let’s hope not for the former. I’d say for the latter, too, but I think passengers in my car would disagree.
Have you ever wondered what kind of sucker Martians would enjoy way yonder in Mars? Because I totally have. Like, just right now. In the many short seconds I’ve been considering my own ridiculous question, this is what I came up with: Happy Plum Stick Candy.
The fact that it comes with a cryptic warning further cements my well-thought-out answer. |
