you start to think about all of the things that separates cultures: moral structure, daily isms, interactive personal-space bubbles, eye-contact lengths, toilet design, et al.
it becomes glaringly aware, that you might not be experiencing all there is to experience. case and point, poo-shaped cookies from the good people of thailand's aki-ko brand. these tiny delicious japanese-styled cookies come in lovingly hand-made(?) dookie shapes. brilliant!
they have everything including the classic swirl shape and also cute little stickers giving the poo a nasty face. yay thai companies! i mean, how can you go wrong with delights such as these palm-sized confectionery wonders?!
poo cookies!!

hilarious to be sure, but also sort of strange? surely no one actually wants to be eating poo. so then what is the drive or desire to mock-eat some ca-ca? my mind stumbles over itself trying to decipher the draw.
but who can say that they are not cute? they come in a variety of flavors and colors; each one a just-sweet-enough individually wrapped crunchy mold of supposed excrement. delicious much?? um, yeah.
so come on people! let's go out there and get ourselves some edible fake dookie. as long as it's in a confectionery form, who, i ask who can say no to eating poo cookies? i know i sure couldn't.
ps-hit up this site for more japanese wackinessery!!!
