This story goes great with that washlet ad.

Nice to see that the Japanese enjoy Ramen noodles too. Send me an alert when the A-cup cookies come out for obese men.

Very unfortunate shape and placement of that dash - I don't know about you, but what I see is "F'cup", with the internal eye supplying the missing "k" after the "c".

I'd love to know if these really worked. Then I would (being a male) eat crap loads just to see what happened.

@Architeuthis: I originally read it as "fuck-up"

If the "Fcup" doesn't work then it's really "F-up" yo.

I wonder if they make "PACK a 12" cookies?

("COCKIES"?)

Lol

I like me some "fun" pillow treats.

OK, This is one of those products that deserves a scientific experiment. Surely there are some ladies out there willing to eat two cookies a day for the sake of science. Then its a matter of importing a dozen or so boxes, and doing a controlled experiment. If necessary, I would be willing to maintain the experiment by taking measurements before and after the trial dates, as well as photo-documenting the experiement at regular intervals. Ladies, sign up now for a chance to be part of scientific history.

I wonder why ramen noodles, F'cup cookies, and tampons are in the same isle?

@dphagan: I have to admire a guy who is willing to give so much effort for the scientific method.....a real humanitarian. I am thinking Nobel Prize here.......

What does it do, tell who is gonna win the F1 race?

Great pictures and explanation here:

I think Gizmodo's next story should be about those REDICULOUSLY huge maxi-pads in the background. Anyone who has ever been in a Japanese pharmacy has seen them on display...they're like fucking Kon-Tiki, these things.

@Robotube:
Those huge maxi-pads are for sumos... duh. ;)

@HFC: Thanks. I didn't quite understand how it worked before:

"Because of this, when you eat, because advancement of the mammary gland and increase of the breast fat are urged, it is said that you can expect bust rise.

But, however much being tasty, you eat too much and note! Because as for eating too much there are times when balance of the female sex hormone is destroyed, is."

omg! i found those in tokyo couple months ago, bought a bundle with the usb-humping-dog :)

So if I were to eat these, I would shrink? That's no fun.

Hey IKIMASHOKIE what are you doing this Saturday night? :P

These cookies must be loaded with phytoestrogens.

ThatGirlNY - That's because you shall remember that you didn't get any action since the last time you purchased tampons :P

Scott Mill's on BBC Radio 1 got an experiment up and running before Christmas. The conclusion - they actually work. 'Fran' got a few extra centimeters in just a couple of weeks...
