And that’s even before the sticky liquid starts oozing out of it.
It’s cicada season in Japan, but this Twitter user doesn’t let their creepy, crunch remains get them down!
Exact makeup of strange liquid still unknown.
Parents often worry that too many video games will rot their kids’ brains, but maybe they should be worrying about their children’s feet instead.
You would never guess what a can of fruit drink from 1995 smells like, and now, thanks to us, you won’t have to.
And not just any 16-year-old ramen, but 16-year old ramen that was supposed to have been recalled.
Japan is no stranger to fermented foods with, shall we say, “unique” aromas, so how would a group of unsuspecting Japanese writers deal with a rice bowl topped with the notoriously foul-smelling Swedish staple, surströmming?
Unless they’re dedicated entomologists, this could be the perfect place to freak out your unsuspecting friends.

If you’ve gone on a few overseas trips, you may be familiar with the phenomenon of travel poo, wherein your stool takes on a different hue for a few days as you adjust to local ingredients. It’s far less common for the opposite to occur, but that’s what seems to be happening with Burger King’s black burgers, which have become a repeating success story in Japan.
Burger King is currently offering its darkly colored sandwich in the U.S. and the U.K., but many are reporting that while the company turned the burger’s bun black, the burger is turning their poo green. But what’s behind this transformation, and why didn’t it happen in Japan?
Have you heard of the LifeStraw? It’s a small water filter designed for one person that removes virtually all bacteria and parasites from unclean water. It has saved lives all over the world during natural disasters, helped areas with unclean drinking water, and even won awards for how effective it is.
But of course we had one question for the LifeStraw: can it make pee drinkable? If it’s truly such an amazing device, can it make drinkable water during the worst possible circumstances?
We put it to the test, so read on to see if a LifeStraw will need to be part of your zombie apocalypse kit.
