I love Asian grocery stores, because I like unusual food. So I couldn’t resist the Wonderfarm brand White Fungus Bird’s Nest drink. The can claims the ingredients are: water, sugar, white fungus and bird’s nest. It’s a clear liquid with chunks of white stuff floating in it. Oddly enough, it tastes like a liquid twinkie. The Wonderfarm web site claims this stuff is a “health supplement”. Nothing like a whole lotta sugar to turbo-up your health performance. Frankly, this stuff is kinda boring. Other than looking a little weird, it doesn’t bring anything to the game.
But then there’s Pocky. I happen to love Pocky. I could not turn down the chance to try some “Men’s Pocky”. At last! Pocky – for him! Ok, it’s dark chocolate Pocky, and of course, it’s delicious. WTF it has to do with Testosterone-Americans, I can’t say. Perhaps if you eat enough of it you become a sumo wrestler. Not a bad idea, really.
So… is there a “Women’s Pocky” ? Nothing like having to floss after one of these Japanese “energy” drinks!
