I've got two reviews today...
The first on is "Sento-kun Cookies." Sento-kun is the mascot of Nara. I guess since Nara has deer, they chose a half deer, half Buddhist boy as their mascot. I read that his special skill is, "taking 12 trademark poses."
I'm a sucker for great slogans, and I couldn't think of a single reason why I shouldn't try these once. Later I found one: These cookies are horrible.
While I do appreciate the cookie apparently depicting "birth defect Sento-kun," the taste was anything but exciting. Well, I guess it also wasn't spicy. It tasted like a boring Christmas cookie. They also cost three times as much as normal cookies.

Next up, deer poop candy...
These are essentially peanut M&M's made to look like deer poop. The candy shell is perhaps twice as thick as an M&M's, though. It's a great idea. I can't believe this hasn't caught on in America. It would probably be a huge hit during deer hunting season.
Ratings:
Gaybot: 6
Girlbot: 8 Though she only ate one.
Overall: 7
In conclusion, when in Nara, skip the cookies and go for the deer poop.
