What is good for the Chinese, is disgusting for the Russian: ordinary products with a strange taste in China

The user "Pikabu" bmove has been living and working in China for a long time. A Russian person in China is probably surprised by many things, but the pikabushnik decided to share his findings in local supermarkets. Then the author tells.

This is a "craft" brewery Master Gao, which is quite popular in China, which produces a pretty good beer. She (the brewery) decided to support the trend for products with the taste of green tea. And now I have released such a beer. It tastes like rare urine. Bittersweet taste. But the bitterness is not beer, but tea, which instantly repels. Plus weak carbonation (gassing), and it turns out such a strange beer homunculus that exists, just to be. It's almost impossible to drink it.

There is nothing special in the taste of these chupa-chups, the usual set of several fruit caramels on a stick. Here the whole question is about the form. They are made in the shape of a foot. That is, you are directly offered, excuse the expression, "suck your feet." Some feet in my mouth for young fetishists of China.

Who doesn't love pizza? And even frozen pizza from the supermarket, due to the complete lack of free time, comes with a bang. Well, how do you like blueberry pizza?

And in fact, I wouldn't even be surprised that there is something in it. I didn't buy it. There was no oven and microwave in the house then.

I would rather call it a snickers with Sichuan pepper. And here's why. When you eat it, it's just like an ordinary snickers. And the sharpness comes already as an aftertaste, a kind of piquant bonus. Moreover, the sharpness is not any kind, but very original, since the Sichuan pepper itself is very different from most hot peppers.

I personally really like it, sometimes I buy it. And I advise you. Especially if you like a joke and unusual combinations.

There is already a completely unusual thing for us — tofu sticks.

Two small sticks, similar in structure to rubber, are wrapped in foil, packed in a vacuum foil bag and put in such a box with a skull.

So what's the joke? Why the skull?

And everything is simple. They are EXTREMELY sharp. And they are part of a kind of challenge, in which you need to eat both sticks in two minutes. All details are described (in Chinese) in the attached instructions. It also says that it is better for people with a low threshold of acuity and problems with the gastrointestinal tract not to come close to it.

From myself I will say this: I like spicy. Much sharper than the average Russian. But I couldn't even finish half of one piece. It was unbearable. Just HELL.

Not food at all. And it's not about taste at all.

It always seemed to me that if big brands are making some kind of game, they are doing it quite consciously.

And here in one wonderful store I saw such a jacket. Took a picture. Russian Russian, and I laughed for a long time at how they just threw absolutely random Russian letters, thinking that there was some sense in it. And my knowledge of the Russian language just let me down here.

It turned out that there is a sense in all this. The answer came from where I definitely wasn't expecting it—from an American friend who stunned me. It turned out that not only we love pisat angliiskimi bukvami russkie slova, but also in other countries they are fond of the same. And the inscription on this jacket reads: HUMANITY UNITED. Subtle. Subtle. And funny.
