The wife and I went to one of our favorite places in the city today. Sun Wah supermarket. If you have been then you know. If you haven't... then this will be a good primer on the kinds of wonder that are waiting for you in Chinatown.

First up: some kind of dried fish covered in sesame seeds and sliced almonds in a bag.
Wait, are those almonds talking?
"Hey everybody, we're just a couple of cool almonds hanging out.
Nevermind the horrendous pile of fish gore,
we actually taste delicious!!"
Caution Bear. Tasty lemon flavored cookie snacks in the shape of numbers. Because that has
everything to do with a super intense Chinese bear losing it's mind.

Collon. Little brown pellets that taste like almonds. They very well could taste good, but that is such an unfortunate name for this product. You might as well just name these "Litte Poops."

Really? This was on sale. Not surprising.

Nut Walker. I don't know what to say. He is a nut that walks? Walker Texas Ranger? Maybe he has a spin-off comic book where he walks on bad guys nuts?

Magic Flakes! They come in the same kind of pail that cat litter comes in. These little crackers are beyond our earthly realm of physics and quantifiable science. They are simply... magic. Thats why they are on the bottom shelf and covered in dust.

Finally, something familiar.
My brain was beginning to hurt from all of the absurd neon color combinations. This looks not too bad. Beef jerky has always been sort of a guilty pleasure of mine.

Nope. Its actually dried bean curd, and it's called "GRANMA MOUTH."
Just when you think you are falling for something, the curtain is drawn back, revealing the grim truth. Like in the wizard of Oz when you find out that the Wizard is just some fat little bald guy.
"
Man, I love this bean curd, where did you get this?"
"My granma's mouth."
