Findings in the US, guest contribution.

Young contributor C. Jae Hwan (perhaps of Korean extraction), currently living in the United States, has recently sent me several of his (or her) findings.

Allegedly, these are all item of food. That is, you can eat them. If you must.

I love the contrast between the whimsical packaging, and the unspeakable horror of the contents.
And what exactly do the depictions of citrus and sliced avocados have to do with anything? Anyone?

Apart from the bargain-basement level of artwork, the "rainbow tango" found inside, upon closer inspection, appears to be peanuts and sultanas.

I don't doubt that these are both "hot ("and" - Editor) ready", but the primary claim does beg severe questioning. If one were to define irresistible, I sincerely doubt these artery-clotting buns of burden would approach even the loosest inclusion.

Also, why are American so afraid of vegetables? Everything is meat and cheese, or alternatively, just meat. Perhaps it has something to do with preservatives and being able to increase the shelf-life of these items ten-fold.
