Funny English—it’s the first thing we look for when buying products at the Japanese Supermarket and Marketplace Mitsuwa. The chain has an endless supply of imported Japanese goods with packaging ads devoid of the grammar and spell check processes.
Whether Japanese companies don’t care what’s said, not said, or just slap on some Funny English to sell the product—we at The Message Whore have not been able to contrive an answer.

That brings us to Cream Colon—I mean Cream Collon. In our excitement we thought this product was called Cream Colon. PatboyX sent us a rude awakening and back to the revision process.
That being said we still came up with alternate and offensive names for Cream Collon: Creamy Holes or Splooge ‘n Colon.
Straight from the Cookies & Snacks aisle comes this delightful treat. It consists of a tubular cookie outside, creamy vanilla inside. The cookie was surprisingly tasty, almost “splooge in mouth good” as my brother once described.

There are about two servings per box—a box, I’m convinced, that was made to test us Westerners. I tried to open the box the wrong way when another 78west.com Taste Tester warned me. The easy-open lid also allows for Cream Collon to be closed easily, preventing staleness.

This product is available in Strawberry Collon and Chocolate Collon, hee.

Like Giant Pocky we look forward to a day this product can be supersized. There will be nothing more amazing than a box of Giant Cream Collon.

I like the chocolate “Collon” which I admit makes me think of “Colon” also. The Japanese word “koron” is an an onomatopoeic word representing the sound of a rolling object.
