Mmm…plastic
Wednesday, May 10th, 2006Well, for those of you who have heard about my previous exploits in Japan of eating dog food (long story, having to do with me not being able to read Japanese and seeing what I thought were animal crackers, but were really dog biscuits), I might have another one here.
So, I was in the store the other day, and saw a nice looking salami, called Dry Calpas. It looked edible, and I figured it’d go well with a beer or something, so I purchased it. I opened it up and was enjoying it with a beer, when I thought….hmm…a bit of plastic, I must have torn off a bit of the wrapper or something and put it in my mouth. No big deal, I continued eating. About 25 percent done with the salami now….hmm…more plastic in my mouth….that’s wierd. Uh, oh…synapses start firing in my not-so-quick thinking skull…warning, danger…Dave, something is wrong here….
After a brief inspection of my beer snack, I saw that the salami casing was not the edible kind you’d normally find on a salami….no, why would I expect something normal in Japan? For some reason, this salami was wrapped in a layer of thin plastic, exactly the kind you’d find…..well, nowhere. Why the hell would they double-wrap a salami in plastic? Is one layer of plastic not enough? Well, I quickly peeled the plastic off and enjoyed the rest of the salami, sans plastic. It did taste better that way. My stomach feels ok, but a bit like there’s a foreign object in there somewhere. I’m hoping someone can translate the notice below for me and confirm whether or not I ate plastic….. if you can, send me an email to david AT (this website domain).COM
doomo, doomo, doomo
EDIT: Yes, it’s been confirmed…I ate plastic. Wasn’t too bad, though.
