Choc-Pix Tasty Girls is belgian-white chocolate, with a molding of three naked girls.
But that's not the gimmick. When you shine some light on it at the right angle, the molding reveals the same image but in photographic form.
There is nothing added to the chocolate bar to make it do this. Rather, a very intricate texture is carved into the surface of the bar, so that light reflects off it in such a way to produce the photgraphic image.

Liqueur-Filled Foil Bags
by Steve

Sometimes wandering around the Internet aimlessly finds you some cool stuff, like these liqueur-filled foil bags.
These are novelty items that combine a small amount of flavored liqueur. I personally like the "
Drinking Lizense". It unfolds to reveal a comical identification card authorizing you to take a drink.
The liqueur varies from product to product, but the one above is a blend of vodka-lemon-liqueur and vanilla-cream-liqueur.

Konpeito
by Steve
2/16/2006 03:01:00 PM
Konpeito is a japanese-style candy, almost entirely made of sugar.
Growing up with a Japanese mom, I ate a lot of this stuff as a kid. But in Japanese cultures, this stuff is folk art. If you can imagine the Jelly Belly now achieving cult status, and being subjected to every known flavor and concoction imaginable, that's the konpeito in Japan.
In traditional sense of konpeito, it's all about telling a story of love, or tragedy, or celebrating the essence of something, like a flower, a dew drop, or a sunset, but all the while retaining the simplicity of sugar candy. The more extravagant and complex you can build the story, color and flavor, the more exciting the product. Traditional konpeito is not eaten without the presenter telling its story.
There is also commercial konpeito, sold in bulk, with common colors of red, orange, green, purple, but often tasting only like sugar.
Anyways, Japanese food maker, Hidemi, Inc. has paid homage to this unique Japanese folk art with a
line of traditional konpeito with several varieties. Pictured here is Konpeito Sakura.
The Sakura is the cherry blossom, the favorite flower of Japan. To the Japanese, it exemplifies everything good with Japan, its beauty, purity, and nobility. The cherry blossom has poetic and romantic meaning, much like the rose in western cultures. This particular variety of konpeito captures the color of Sakura, and even some greenish hues to resemble the leaves and stems. It perhaps has a taste that reminds you of the cherry blossom scent.

Product copy also says that it's "all natural". It also has a pretty long ingredients list, and just about everything appears to be "natural stuff", though I'm not sure what "maltodextrin" and "silicon dioxide" is. Though I imagine everything is natural, since everything on Earth is made of "star stuff".
And while it may contain 100% organic soy nuts, it also contains wheat flour, which may very well account for much of the bulk.
