Fun With Condiments


This is a strange little Japanese flash file that is incredibly funny: Kikkoman. Reviews are out! From Comicon.com, reviewer Nathan states: "I think that, of all the mostly-naked, fish-headed, condiment-dispensing superheroes, this one would have to be my favorite." Also available at the same site, is Banana and Shrimp Showtime. English translations of both shorts are apparently coming soon at the Yogatori website.

Hey, if you can't have fun with Soy Sauce, then what's the point of life?

Of course, this reminds me of my favorite ever Soy Sauce story. My apologies to Dan, who may eventually read this.

Back in college, I usually ate dinner with a bunch of friends from the dorm. Being stupid college kids, we sometimes played jokes on one another. The funniest dinner joke had to be the day someone put Soy Sauce in Dan's Pepsi.

Dan had gone to get seconds of something, and we all watched as another of our dinner friends quickly poured a good portion of a bottle of Soy Sauce into Dan's Pepsi before he came back. I think all of us were curious to see what would happen, so none of us told Dan about the trick when he returned. Dinner continued on as normal, with Dan sipping his Pepsi every once in awhile. Finally, after one such sip, he set the drink down, made a face, and declared, "I think this is the worst glass of Pepsi I've ever had!" He had finished over half the glass before noticing, so everyone at the table suddenly was on the floor with laughter, much to Dan's befuddlement.

Strangely, after the incident, for a long time, he stopped drinking Pepsi and stuck to Mountain Dew.
