All Kind Jaggery on Aisle 6

As I am a fan of ball-shaped sweet foods, I had come to buy some chum-chum, rasgulla, and gulabjamun balls, but I could not resist what Aisle 6 had to offer. I put down my grocery basket, and began to flail my arms about and strutting around like an injured rooster, puckering my lips like I had just eaten all the sour achaar pickles on aisle 7. As I was quite forcibly escorted out by security, I loudly continued my assertion that I've got moo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ooves like Jagger.

Swedish Coffee Gives Many Erections

The list of Swedish accomplishments are many and have been listed here. Now they have solved the problem of erectile dysfunction with a type of coffee which promises to induce a high number of erections ("Hella Boner" in American Slang).

Milk Solves Problems You Didn't Even Consider
My favorite Saudi cleric Sheikh Al-Obaikan is in the news again. He presents a milky solution to deal with the problem of unrleated men and women socializing freely.
"The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman," Al Obeikan said, according to Gulf News. "He should drink it and then becomes a relative of the family, a fact that allows him to come in contact with the women without breaking Islam's rules about mixing."

Girls Can Not Have This Chocolate Either
Following (or leading) the trend of sexist chocolate, this one is also not recommended for girls.
I'm waiting to see the candy that women will not allow men to have.

Sorry, Girls, This Chocolate Is For Men.
Another item which proves men are better equipped to endure bitterness than women. This bitter chocolate snack is made for men. Women can not withstand its power. According to the warning on the packaging written in Japanese, which I understand fluently -- or "wakarimasu" -- only 11% of women have the strength to tolerate the flavor of these chocolate-dipped twigs.
Update: This is also not for girls.

Jelly Rats
The Swedes do it again. Add to this their list of contributions (see Action Stars, Pop Icons, Safe Automobiles, Masters of Cuisine, Robotic Tennis Stars, Unpronounceable Furniture, Controversial Advertising Figures, and recognition of excellence in all the aforementioned areas) to make the world a better place.Update: Swedish coffee induces Hella Boners.

Happy Birthday Jesus, In The Name Of Allah


In Fremont, CA on Christmas day. Next to the restaurant named Bismillah (In The Name Of God) is the marquee for the theater which reminds us what Christmas is. Or perhaps this is a little clash of civilizations in the neighborhood.
As for the restaurant, it is part of an alarming trend:

Ball Cake!
I've already covered my hypothesis that the whole world loves ball-shaped foods. Proof of the theorem to follow, and I won't go into more detail here. But...
Always on the lookout for arrangements of words I can use as expressions of delight or anguish originally unintended as such, like "Sweet Supari!", I am pleased to announce my latest discovery:
Ball Cake!
e.g.:
Negative usage:
"Hey man, I heard there are going to be layoffs."
"Ball Cake!"
Positive usage:
"You are being promoted to director."
"Ball Cake!"

Break Me Off A Piece Of That Crazy Japanese KitKat Bar
Thanks to Donald who brought me a bunch of crazy KitKat flavors from his trip to Japan:
Apple vinegar, apples & carrots, green tea, white chocolate (the most boring flavor in this group), the "I don't know WTF this is" according to Donald (which we determined is something with rice puffs and perhaps red beans) although the picture on the box suggests a meatball enveloped by a tater-tot, plums, dark chocolate with butter cookie, and... yes... soy sauce KitKats.
Just one missing ingredient: Hell Fire

Sweet Supari

This was at a local Indian grocery store. My wife tells me supari is something people chew in South Asia. Do they have pictures of wanted fugitives on all Indian snack boxes? My new expression of surprise: Sweet Supari!
UPDATE: Some more info and in-depth analysis of this issue here. Thanks to Owais Mughal for that article.

Attack of the Mullah Marshmallows
These marshmallows have been "prepared in accordance with Islamic Sharia".
A militant ape with martial arts training, a brazen paratrooper commando, and some sort of hashish-fueled assassin are involved in a ubiquitous attack against America.
Some years ago I tried to teach myself the Arabic alphabet, and my own mother tongue is richly infused with words of Arabic origin. With that foundation of knowledge, I have attempted to translate the writings on this packaging and have concluded that they say "Torment upon torment to the Western infidels, God's vengeful wrath upon the occupiers, with corn syrup and dextrose."

Chocolate Mushroom Cult Threatens America
A friend alerted me that the Korean Chocolate Mushroom Cult now has packaging translated to English. I have decoded the secret codes on the package and have concluded that it contains threats to our American way of life.

The mascot has now kicked some kind of bird (The American Eagle?) causing it to experience head trauma. Descriptive labels point out "Mini Biscuit" and "Chocolate" - rearrange the letters in these words to spell "I lob iconic I teach smut". They are determined to undermine traditional American Icons and corrupt our youth. Or "Bulimic atheist in Coco", or "Bush omit cocaine licit", or "Cubical homo tits in ice", or "I built mince cocoa shit". Clearly an attack on our cultural values is imminent or has already started - or there is something bad in these cookies. They were, however, very tasty.
"Have fun with your friend Choco Boy" is most certainly a coded call to arms, or a signal to sleeper cells to take nefarious action.
