Japanese octopus-dumpling soda
While looking on google for a good picture of Takoyaki – Japanese octopus dumplings one of my favorite Japanese snacks, and I found this photo of Octopus-dumpling soda (たこ焼きソーダ)!
YUM.
Gee, just what I always wanted—a soda drink made with the flavors of diced octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings).
UPDATE: Just for equal time, the MentalFloss blog reminded me of the “prior art” of Jones Soda company’s Turkey and Gravy Soda.

I guess it is red colored—a bit strong ginger ale tasting drink.
Also I imagine smell of ginger is stronger than regular one.
It will knock me out.

If it is a drink with a strong ginger ale taste, I’m all for it! Traditional ginger ale from a 100 years ago was almost bitter and more like ale than children’s soda pop.

Ok, ok, I confess.
This Takoyaki soda is just a stage prop of the Japanese actress, Nana Yanagisawa, as she explains in her blog here.

I dare you to listen to the soundtrack that goes with drinking that soda. Ok, I double dare you to check out it out: it’s just short MP3, “Gagged Gizzard Goo” by Otto Von Schirach.

Greetings,
I am Miss Menzo from Nigeria, the only son of Mr. Menzo — I lost my parent. My father was a serving director of Cocoa export board until his death.
On the 19 May 200y my parent was murdered by the unknown REBELS during the time they attacked our neighborhood house following the political uprising, an ex military/ ex president (General Robberti Buttfucko) been an opposition party to the present Government by shooting and looting, even this is one of the things that contributed to the present crisis in our country today.
God so kind I was not in town when the incident occurred. The plans of the REBELS is to kill every member of General’s family so that no one will rise up to revenge as time goes on.
My father had deposited a consignment with a security company here containing the sum of $10,800,000 USD for a project of investment .
Right now, I’m unable to clear this consignment from the company because of my tender age and can not secure this money here because of the political crisis in this country. I wish to relocate to your country where the consignment will be shipped to and has been transfered to your country for investment.
I want you to help me claim and retrive the consignment from the security company with the documents I have here with me and transfer it into your country for my future life purposes and on profitable investment. This is 110 percent risk free also feel free to ask questions. You will be the beneficiary and recipient of the fund.
I have plans to do in-vestment in your country, like real estate and industrial production. I will be attaching my photo here for better identification.
For further information of my points, kindly make out a time.
I am looking forward to receive your positive response and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. Please reply me with a naked photo having goat sex.
Best Regards
Miss Menzo

I’m so sorry Miss Menzo.
I don’t have any naked photos of me having goat sex.
I only have pictures of myself, “Gagged Gizzard Goo,” and Takoyaki soda.
