Umai-bo うまい棒 (delicious stick) is the Japanese equivalent of a cheeto except they’re bigger, individually wrapped and come in Japanese style flavors like corn soup and seaweed. My eating habits have been pretty bad the last few weeks and then today, to make matters worse, one of our clients sends us a couple of huge boxes of umai-bo. Each box contains 600 umai-bo!! The packages are customized to promote their new website service selling International Index Funds.
We gave them out to people thorought the company but there were just too many!! And the expiry date is April 4th so I had to eat a whole bunch of them before they went bad.
A couple of huge boxes? And whats with the quick expiry date? Man, they’re offloading crap they can’t rid of to you with their advertisements too…
Now after seeing your pics, I think I will have to go out and buy a few packs!
I love the corn soup variation on these things. I’m pretty sure I’d eat myself sick with a ton of them around. Better you than me. ;-)
“Thanks for the free plug” is what this client is now thinking…..
I was addicted to those for a month some time back and needed my daily fix.
I watched an episode of a show called Akihabara@DEEP where everyone was eating those. For some reason, I wanted to eat one.
Roy, it’s a nice chance for you to beat Guiness record in eating Umai-bo. ;)
Roy, I have a question:
Why does the mascot for umai-bo look so much like Doraemon?
