Pucoo

Lotte, the maker of Fit's gum, has come out with a gum designed for women whose stomachs are 80% empty. I don't think I've ever thought, "Hmm, the old belly's gotta be sittin' at 72% empty 'bouts now," but apparently some Japanese are able to calculate that. Also, I'm guessing that when a man's stomach reaches the 80% empty mark, he is expected to eat something or, better yet, sneak some whiskey. The gum seems to be like Fit's in every way except for the fact that glucomannan has been added. Apparently this food additive can be used as an appetite suppressant.

This ad shows how it works. If you're anything like a Japanese woman, when you get hungry a monster angel makes you think everyone is talking about food.

The first man says, "Printo ongegai." (Please make a copy of this.)

The monster angel says, "Purin tabenai." (Aren't you going to eat some pudding?)

She goes on to mishear, "What happened with the goods?" for, "Cinnamon Doughnuts?" and, "Sales are going up," for, "The fried chicken is done." Clearly this woman is mentally ill and should be fired (not to mention who wants a fat tub of lard like her around anyway?).

So... Japanese Gum Review #7 : Double Grapefruit Jelly Pucoo

Ratings:
Gaybot: 4  The flavor is good, but I'm grossed out by the extra chemical.
Girlbot: 5  She offers the insight that it tastes like grapefruit, pretty close to the real thing.
Overall: 4.5
