JAPANESE ‘VAGINA BREAD’ IS A REAL THING

[zappaman]

This strawberry cream bread which is being marketed as “cherry blossom-shaped” clearly looks like a vagina, or well, a cluster of vaginas.

The tasty treat is a collaboration between holographic superstar “Hatsune Miku” and Japan’s biggest chain of convenience stores, Family Mart.

Predictably, people are shouting from the rooftops (just message boards so far), “OBSCENE!”

Could be tasty....could be awful?
However, it tastes...it's awful strange.
But is it obscene?

[cthulu2016]

1. A word with out peaches, and roast beef, and...

Folks better be careful about banning stuff that looks kinda like stuff

[KamaAina]

17. Bananas... cigars...

[notadmblnd]

2. only to filthy minded people who are overly obsessed with sex

nt

[upaloopa]

29. Are you serious?

It looks like a bunch of vaginas in a circle.
Why do you have to have a filthy mind and be obsessed with sex to see that?
If you think parts of the body are filthy and other parts are not then I think you are the one with a problem.

[notadmblnd]

46. I said "only to filthy minded people." I did not say body parts were filthy.

The question asked was "is it obscene." So why do you have a problem? Do you think it is obscene? I don't generally associate various food items with human body parts therefore I don't think the food item is obscene.

[upaloopa]

47. I don't consider the body obscene. I think if something

that looks like a vagina is called obscene then the person must think a vagina is obscene too.

[notadmblnd]

51. thats what I said- Only dirty minded people would find it obscene

and you went all off on me- and I am really confused as to why? Are we on the same page now?

[upaloopa]

66. Sorry I misunderstood you post

[Orrex]

88. I find your misunderstanding obscene

You dirty-minded misunderstander!!!!!!!1!

[Skraxx]

3. Does It Come With It's Own Yeast Infection?

[Buzz Clik]

5. "confection". Such a dirty mind!

[cliffordu]

64. Well, ya gotta have yeast to make the bread rise.....

Just sayin' -

[sendero]

95. You...

.... so funny.

[Yavin4]

110. It Took 2 Minutes to make the first yeast infection joke

DU is slipping.

[Buzz Clik]

4. The first thought was not "vagina", it was "yuck!"

I think they are touting that it kinda sorta looks vaginal to get people to buy it.

[Poll_Blind]

6. I tried this product recently. Doesn't taste like vaginas at all. FAIL. nt

PB

[zappaman]

9. !!!

Well played!

[Marrah_G]

26. omg

[cliffordu]

49. BEST.POST.OF.THE.DAY!! YOU WIN THE INNERNETS!!

[idwiyo]

68. You ROCK!

[HappyMe]

7. It doesn't look very appetizing.

I don't think it's obscene.

[Quantess]

8. That's hilarious.

I'm sure there is a market for it.

[ismnotwasm]

10. They also make yummy

Sausage stuffed penis pancakes. Fair is fair

http://en.rocketnews24.com/2011/04/03/sausage-stuffed-penis-pancakes/

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. The US has a Speaker of the House that looks just like that.

[ismnotwasm]

16. LOL!

[redqueen]

18. I wonder what it says....

[ismnotwasm]

24. I have a couple of friends at work I could ask

They're a bit shy, how ever.

[tarheelsunc]

25. It literally says "penis"

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%B1%8C

[Quantess]

28. Good thing they labeled it.

Otherwise we would have no idea...

[ismnotwasm]

35. I know I hate guessing games.....

[bitchkitty]

71. Those are cool!

I'm a vegan, but I could DIY a penis-shaped corndog with tofu dogs and these pans:



They'd be a huge hit at my next family gathering!

[ismnotwasm]

92. Heh!

[Warren DeMontague]

77. That's sick.

Not that they shaped it like a dick, but that they put a sausage inside a pancake. Does it come with a cardiologist?

[ismnotwasm]

105. Here in America

We call the non-penis shaped dish 'Pig in a Blanket' right?


The coating on it is what looks disgusting--like, I don't know, caramelized something or other.

Probably shouldn't think too hard on it.

[Warren DeMontague]

107. ***

[ismnotwasm]

108. Hey!

I know what I know, you know?

[Warren DeMontague]

116. sorry. It's just, that show is a riot.

any excuse, really.

[ismnotwasm]

117. Well

That's alright then.

[Warren DeMontague]

119. Japan produces a variety of odd food items.

this one is actually far from the worst I've seen.

[ismnotwasm]

120. I know

Sometimes Buzzfeed and like sites will post some of them. I show them off from time to time.

Grosses those more uh, naive, that I am right out. Probably shouldn't do it, but its kind of Fun. Especially if I can gross out my husband, who was not grossed out by the vagina bread but got that puzzled forehead pucker he gets over the stuffed penis sausage.

[Warren DeMontague]

121. The stuff that gives me the icks are things like pickled octopus in gelatin.

Dick sausage, vagina bread, no big deal, although the anime wrapping is disconcerting.

[ismnotwasm]

123. Agreed

Pickled Cephalopods are right the fuck off the menu.

And my forbears are from the land that brought you lutefisk, which just may be worse.

[Warren DeMontague]

124. heard an excellent description, once, on NPR of what exactly goes into lutefisk.

I wouldn't eat it, but -and I'm not a chemist, mind you- it sounds to me like you could hook some copper wires up to that shit and make a serious battery.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Well, if you can't eat it, you can always

...oh, never mind.

[Electric Monk]

23. This one time, at band camp...

[babydollhead]

94. we say that sentence all the time

its a good one!

[SpartanDem]

12. Pussy pastry?

[Control-Z]

13. This post is begging for the image:

[Retrograde]

65. I think it's supposed to be a stylized cherry blossom with 5 petals

with the stamens in the middle, but that reddish filling is, uh,unfortunate.

OTOH, flowers are sex organs...

[NBachers]

76. I haven't seen any of those growing on trees yet

[ZombieHorde]

15. "Obscene" is a reaction that comes from the observor,

as opposed to the thing being observed.

Instead of trying to figure out if a thing is obscene or not, I think we would be better off trying to figure out how a thing interacts with the culture it is in.

I doubt this product will affect anything as far as sex and gender are concerned.

[Duer 157099]

19. I was sure this was going to be about a new sex toy

Seriously.

[Poll_Blind]

20. Wait, wait. It's not? I thought that's why they included six per loaf.

PB

[formercia]

54. One package a Day for a Week

and you have your 42 Virgins.

For those who want their Virgins in the Here and Now.

[bunnies]

98. virgins?

I dunno. Those cherries look popped to me.

[formercia]

100. Probably a good thing

The reality would be a pain.

[bunnies]

103. for sure!

they do look moist though, as opposed to all dry and powdered.

[Brickbat]

21. Vulva bread!

GOD! I hate it when people mess that up!

[redqueen]

32. ...

[Tree-Hugger]

81. Thank you! nt

[pipi_k]

89. For sure!

Those are vulvae!

The vagina is the inner part.


You know what's scary? So many women who don't even know that they have a urethra (three holes, IOW).

I was only in my mid 20s when I had to educate a woman nearly 10 years older than myself about that.

Then, again...about 7 or 8 years ago...another women who had given birth to 3 kids, and didn't know, at the age of 60-whatever, that women had three openings.

She was genuinely surprised, and a bit tearful that nobody had told her before.

It's sad that women don't know their own bodies.

[TwilightGardener]

93. When I was a nurse, I had a patient who called her vagina her "virginal".

I didn't correct her because she was 80-something and I knew what she meant. But not knowing you have a urethra is even sadder.

[pipi_k]

109. That's pretty cute

actually...virginal for vagina



But anyway, yeah...how can someone 60+ years old who has given birth not know that urine comes from a completely different place than menstrual fluid and babies...

[TwilightGardener]

91. Yes. Drives me nuts.

[FedUpWithIt All]

113. Yep...

Amazing that so many do not know simple female anatomy.

[tarheelsunc]

22. Is it just me or does it look like they are menstruating?

[redqueen]

27. It's just you.

[Volaris]

48. It's the strawberry filling that makes it look like that...

now wether that Strawbery Filling ws INTENTIONAL, I cannot say.

[TroglodyteScholar]

96. Have you ever seen menstrual blood?

My guess is no.

[tarheelsunc]

114. Yes I have, which is why I pointed it out. eom

[pipi_k]

111. No...it's

a yeast infection.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

30. I'd call it "the promised land"

It looks like the most beautiful thing on Earth.

[Aerows]

31. Oh my

LOL

[liberal_at_heart]

33. Well we have sex pastry shops where you can get a cake shaped like reproductive parts

I wouldn't buy one but hey to each their own.

[Aerows]

34. That reminds me of a birthday party I went to

One of the people attending brought pornographic gummy candies shaped like various parts as a treat for guests.

[redqueen]

36. They're lighthouses!

[Aerows]

37. LOL!

SURE they are. LOL

No, seriously, these were intentionally shaped like various parts.

Those are hilarious though

[redqueen]

38. Oh, yeah...

I knew you meant the other kind. I just couldn't resist showing that image... I love that in that case it was purely unintentional.

[Aerows]

39. How could they NOT

have noticed what they look like before they sold them? Talk about a product image mishap... LOL.

[Aerows]

41. OMG, I looked those up

and then I found this:



LMAO. Candy failure.

[redqueen]

42. hahaha...

Suction cup base?

Oh, guitar! Guitar!

[Aerows]

53. If you look at the packaging

apparently there are microphone shapes in there, too. I can't help but wonder what THOSE look like

[BB_Smoke]

80. 12 hours from now

I am going to be drinking coffee, and it's going to spray all over my desk.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Send it to the GOP Congress!

[Demoiselle]

43. Thanks for sharing.

[tridim]

44. Vaginas aren't obscene, so no.

Hey human race, we all have sex organs. DEAL WITH IT.

[Crepuscular]

45. Is there?

Is there a cream filled version?

[cliffordu]

67. Well....

[Sheldon Cooper]

50. The first comment at the link really says it all:

Chris • 2 hours ago ? The creepiest part by far, is the(crying?)young girl on the front.

[DaveJ]

72. Is she crying?

Perhaps we should be more accepting of crying as pure emotional expression.

[AsahinaKimi]

75. I think so..

She's probably saying.. DONT MAKE ME EAT THIS ...waaaaa! iyada! Saiaku da!

[redqueen]

115. It makes me think of hentai.

Crying schoolgirls aren't exactly rare in that genre.

[WCLinolVir]

52. Ah those Japanese.

[rucky]

55. And why is the girl on the front of the package crying?

[GreenStormCloud]

74. Anime art. She is laughing. N/T

[Union Scribe]

82. And she's like, 10.

Not exactly what I was expecting to see on the package for this particular product! Ick.

[loudsue]

56. Vaginas are beautiful.

And tasty. Whassamatter with that?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

57. At least they don't have a cream filled version.

[Blue_Tires]

59. !!!

[jsr]

58. Needs cream cheese

[Buzz Clik]

70. Well, let's not be too hasty...

[Buzz Clik]

84. I'm glad I got you to expand on your comment.

I have no idea where you're coming from, but at least I now know not to try to understand.

[Blue_Tires]

61. ewww...probably chock full of preservatives, artificial color, flavoring and HFCS

[RedCappedBandit]

62. There's definitely a joke in here involving american pie..

[Curmudgeoness]

63. Obviously, I am the only person here

who would never have seen it this way without someone suggesting it.

And after the suggestion, I can't see anything else.

[idwiyo]

69. ((((Hug))))

[brooklynite]

73. I think you've been able to get this from the Erotic Bakery for years...

[Warren DeMontague]

78. Holographic Superstar?

You mean Krieger's wife?

[Gravitycollapse]

79. Michael Foucault says that "obscenity" is the product of wrongful medicalization of sex.

It's a social construct used to control sexual rhetoric.

The pastry looks like an asshole. But even if it looked like a vagina, who gives a flying fuck?

[snooper2]

85. Do you start eating the middle first, or from the sides?

[Bonobo]

86. Sometimes a cherry blossom is just a cherry blossom. nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

87. Since they're pastries, I'm assuming they'll fit in with a vagatarian diet. nt

[Apophis]

90. I wonder if anyone has tried to microwave it and "American Pie"'d it yet.

[siligut]

97. I always wondered how they got the colloquialism "jelly roll".

Now I know.

[bunnies]

99. Cherry blossom? lmao!!!

yeah. The resemblance is striking!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

101. There used to be an erotic bakery in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood.

So I'd say no vagina bread is not obscene. Weird maybe but not obscene.

[Kelvin Mace]

102. A vagina is not obscene

people need to get a grip.

If this is banned, they will have to ban bananas, cucumbers, carrots, asparagus, and any other phallic food.

[marions ghost]

104. yawn...you serve it with this:

[Coyotl]

106. Any directions on how to eat them?

Start on the perimeter and work your way in, or just like the goodies in the middle first?

[In_The_Wind]

112. Will place an order and get back to you.

[SayWut]

118. At least they look more appetizing than Goatse Cookies.

[LittleBlue]

122. This is why I love the Japanese

For such a serious culture, at times they don't take themselves seriously at all. There are probably hundreds of Japanese buying vagina bread for the lulz.

Then again, this is the culture that invented karaoke, which is supposed to be the art of humiliating one's self in front of their friends.
