Jigsaw puzzles shaped like Japanese snacks

SANY0655

Japanese snacks give a whole new meaning to the English language. Carl is just an ordinary name in America, but in Japan, it connotes the most delicious cheese snack ever (better than Cheetos or Cheez-its, by far). Apollo is not a spaceship, but a delicious nipple-shaped strawberry chocolate. Black is not a color, but a flavor (chocolate again).

The snacks in this photo are actually not real; their jigsaw puzzles packaged and shaped like their edible counterparts. They remind me of the Jenga game made of gum wrappers.

those cheese puffs (and their non cheese counterparts) are my favorites. I also like the non-cheesy Cheetos from Korea that taste like barbecue flavor too...

*cough* they're jigsaw puzzles ... ? ;)
