'PUDDING' is a v.popular desert in Japan.. though it isn't the pudding that an average westerner

would imagine..


A Japanese pudding is.. something like a custard-tasting glob of jello with caramel sauce on top... can imagine that?


Anyway.


Just found this arcticle on Yahoo!JP that announced a new product


'Bucket full-o-pudding' (i think i did a good job translating this)


According to the arcticle, you can..


'By adding 1.6 liters of hot water (80℃) to the powder mix inside the bucket (bucket comes with kit),


then letting it cool in the fridge for 5-6 hours,


the pudding hardens, naturally separating itself with the caramel sauce (wow).


By flipping the bucket onto a plate, the pudding will come out under it's own weight.


Who would have thought of selling a product that can make 2L of pudding?

well..


This product was born from the idea of pudding-related products such as the 'pudding bath',

and plans are to develop chocolate-taste versions near Valentine's Day...'


And this is a pretty serious toy company that is selling this thing... did they seriously consider

marketing strategies?


such a strange country...
