Japanese game show has people bite objects hoping they are chocolate

We have so much to thank Japan for by way of television game shows alone but a major gem in this treasure from our friends in the far East is this game where the people have to find different realistic-looking objects that are actually made of chocolate in a room…

Nope…that’s a shoe…

But THIS one is chocolate! WIN

NOPE. Just a picture frame.

Gotta think more outside the box of chocolate. The table legs, perhaps?

WIN!

And finally, check out this guy take a chance on the door handle only to think he failed only to find out he really won…

Japanese Looting

I was originally going to post a snarky paragraph about how I was “watching the looter footage from Japan” on here and Twitter as a satiric riff on how bad our culture sucks in comparison but Ashley from MissAshleyPants.com already said it in plainspeak and it’s more effective:

Amazing how the Japanese people would sooner starve, thirst, and ultimately die proudly; rather than resort to looting/committing violent acts for food & luxuries alike as NOLA residents did in Katrina. No wonder other countries look down on us.

Classy…

Geez…

Another reason I like Japan is represented in this Ven Diagram:

The ultimate space utilizing apartment

24 Rooms in 330 Square Feet. How? The rooms collapse and fold into each other so each room is essentially a droor. Why don’t all apartments have a feature like this? This is an extreme extent but seriously: why isn’t this common to do with at least one room in crowded urban areas?

Architect Gary Chang calls his 330-square-foot apartment in Hong Kong the “domestic transformer”, but we think that moniker is better suited for the architect himself. By designing a system of sliding walls and innovations — like the guest bed that folds down over the bathtub — Chang transformed his childhood home into a 24-room apartment. While his renovations are wildly inspired, here at ShelterPop we couldn’t shake the feeling that this metamorphosing home was better in concept than in reality.
