Strange Food

Pocky is chocolate on a breadstick, which isn't that strange, or at least seems like a good idea. But what is Men's Chocolate Pocky? Why is it for Men? And how is it different from regular Pocky?

My friend Stephanie thinks it might be a little less sweet than regular Pocky (aka Pocky for Metrosexuals), but that's the best anyone's come up with. Even Paul Lukas at Inconspicuous Consumption couldn't figure this one out.

Hello Kitty is pretty damn odd already. This is a cake mix and a little Hello Kitty-shaped pan so you can bake a Hello Kitty cake.

The Betty Crocker of Hong Kong.

I think this is a package of dried fungus or mushrooms, but neither Kate, who bought it, nor I are really sure.
