PRODUCT: Fuwarinka Gum and Candy


Via Daily Candy

From the "Better Living Through Chemistry" files, comes the ultimate product for me. Fuwarinka Functional Candy and Gum is both (supposedly) delicious and useful. About an hour after one chews the gum or consumes the candy the consumer will begin to exude a delightful fragrance of either rose or vanilla. Or, if you need a more manly scent, "rose menthol."

This is so exciting for me. I am obsessed with smelling good and having my environment smell good. Imagine if I got to combine the chore of making myself smell nice with the pleasant activity of eating candy! And vanilla is my fragrance of choice, anyway.

If this works, then I could make this available freely to people who come into my general vicinity and encourage an entirely vanilla scented day for me. That would be nice ... I mean compared to some of the smells I get instead.

So I have ordered some of this stuff and when it gets here, I will try it out and report back as to whether it actually works or not. That's right, I am going to sacrifice my body for you, readers. Normally I am not one to be comfortable with strange chemicals allowed to run willy-nilly through my inner parts, but in the name of blogging, I'll do it. This once.

This has to be a joke, right? It sounds like one of those Willy Wonka experiments that wiped out half the Oompa Loompa population. Oh this can't be good.

Gotta love those Japanese candies.

If you turn into a giant, rose scented, radioactive moth-lizard, would you level LA for me? Not all of it, just the fiddly bits. Oh, and leave the freeways alone. Traffic is bad enough as is.

I don't know why some of you are so skeptical. Not only is gum that makes you smell fab totally plausible, but it is clearly an extremely practical invention.

This right here? Is the reason why my next vacation is to Tokyo.

In a matter of days I am going to be smelling like vanilla and you guys are going to be SO JEALOUS.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I've been evaluating my blog and have realized that, while I have lots of nifty posts, I don't really have a good overall explanation of what exactly this blog is all about, and what one can expect to find here. So I'm creating this post and will link to it in the sidebar for anyone who's interested. I am not a professional chef. I have not been cooking for years. I am not an expert who is going to make beautiful and amazing and complicated dishes to "wow" you. I am, in fact, quite the opposite. I am a total beginner. I've always lived in places with miniscule kitchens and concerned myself with schoolwork and studying and working and not paid the least bit of attention to what I was eating every day. And that's what this blog is all about. It's about me learning where my food comes from, how to make it properly, and how to enjoy it to the utmost. It's no fun to learn by myself, so I started the blog to keep track of what I learn, kind of like a...

RESTAURANT: Pinkberry

So I finally tried this famous (infamous?) yogurt shop that has begun the conquest of Los Angeles. The yogurt that is called "crackberry" by many. What the L.A. Times calls "the yogurt that launched a thousand parking tickets" due to the notoriously bad parking situation in its original location and its customers tendency to wait in lines for hours. It's the newest thing, taking the place of cupcakes, it seems. It's a rebirth of the frozen yogurt fad of the late '80s, but this time it's different. This yogurt is different. So, my lazy ass might be persuaded to go there, even though it's outside my 2 mile radius of things around my apartment. If it's really that good, I would go the extra .1 mile. But I would not go the extra .1 mile, AND have to go crazy trying to find parking AND then have to wait in life until my hairs turn grey. Nothing is that good. But now there's one I can walk to, and the line is not that long, so we decided to try...

Our local foodblogging establishment, la.foodblogging , has seen fit to allow me to contribute. From now on most of my Los Angeles centered posts will be done there, and linked to from here, in order to avoid duplication. My first post is on my morningtime friend, Groundwork Coffee (as promised to Jeremy and my sweet Auntie). You can read it here: I'll Have the Works . Tags: LA.FOODBLOGGING
