Weird Crap From Japan, Part I

22

As I mentioned in a perverted writeup recently, I’m writing from Japan for the month of May. It’s my second time here but my first time in Tokyo, and … this place is bonkers.

I went to a discount store called Don Quixote today. You might not know the name but you probably know its weird poof-man mascot.

I found lotsta stuff that seemed destined for Meh at some point and some stuff that, well … you’ll see.

Interior

The store is enormous and laid out in a totally haphazard way, which is actually pretty fun because you can wander around and find random crap. Like this:

faucet cleaner

A rag specifically for cleaning the back of your faucet. Can’t wait to do that writeup in a few years.

I found plenty of Japan-specific stuff like this sake-flavored Kit Kat.

And this one flavored like … thin beet poops?

There was a whole section devoted to what seemed to be, like, novelty/gag toilet paper rolls.

Maybe someone here can read Japanese and decode this? Because, wat? Check this detail:

death toilet

And last but absolutely not least. Behold this … costume … ?

swan dong

And its equally breathtaking cousin:

banana dong

There’s plenty more.
