Chocolate peanuts or animal droppings - to seek attention?



Moose droppings...

care for some?
(Sorry - photo has been removed!)

or chocolate covered peanuts...?

Saw this while visiting Jackson Hole, Wyoming, last year. Chocolate peanuts are nothing very special but I thought using "Moose Droppings" in these chocolates is a way to "promote" wildlife and tourism in this area. Moose and buffulo are some of the wildlife to be spotted in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

What is the most interesting food you have seen being "branded" as a way to seek attention ?

    Use to attract my kids but now that they are older, they prefer the good quality chocolates.
    They are not cheap either, are they?

    Here, a type of short (5-cm) fat rice noodle which is sharp at both ends is called mee tai bak in Hokkien. In Cantonese, it is called bei tai mak. Now bei tai is the yellow discharge from a running nose. And as if that is not enough to spoil your appetite, the Cantonese also calls it 老鼠粉 (lou shi fun) which means rat (droppings) noodle.
