I used to love rummaging through the chocolate or snacks section in Japanese Conbini. Always searching for that new product or flavour that would take an innocent snack and turn it into a dodgy innuendo.  Perfect gifts for loved ones back home!

The pic for this group is a perfect example - Collon. Coming in a variety of flavours including, of course, chocolate!  What is surprising is that they export it! I was about to put a comment about there being enough @holes in the world without the need of producing and exporting them, but I should really try to keep it clean...

I was walking through China town on the weekend and I saw lots of Japanese/Chinese sweets piled up in a shop window. Pocky - Mens, Bitter chocolate. Made me laugh a bit thinking "is it only men that are bitter?"   Btw, I saw Pocky Almond (not Mikado) and wasabi peaas in Asda?!

Okay, technically this is a Kiwi delight but I found this quite amusing :D

I have a few kiwi friends and have often heard them talk of a sweet called "pookynana" or something.  I was actually given one and found it was actually called "Perky nana".  Being in a cheeky, jovial mood it sounded quite wrong!  "Perky" could be translated as 元気な - in the dodgy way, and nana would be おばあちゃん. Put together it sounds quite bad! Those dodgy kiwis... ;)
