Blackblack: The ultimate chewing gum from Japan

Now tell me this isn’t the best Kris Kringle ever - a Japanese chewing gum called Blackblack. Not only does it have High-Technical Excellent Taste and Flavor, it contains both caffeine and nicotine.

Woohoo! Bring it on - perfect for that all nighter, surviving the Christmas party season or, if you’re like me and have trouble getting starting in the morning, kickstarting the day.

As if a super caffeine and nicotine hit wasn’t enough, the Engrish on the packaging is classic!

I have no idea what the other writing says so feel free to translate.

    It’s very cute but why would you want nicotine if you’re not a smoker?

    Actually, I’m too scared to even try it! I just think it’s hilarious that they put both in gum!

    I guess its morning coffee + cigarette in a Tokyo rush-hour-train friendly format.
