(2242) Gluten...

 ...from which the sweet Japanese snacks called "fugashi" (麩菓子) could be itself the interesting thing in this picture, considering the way it's been seen in the West lately (I don't think I've ever seen any gluten-free product in Japan). But when the snack is called "Panda no Unko" (パンダのうんこ), that is "panda poop" you need to reconsider. Especially when a cute panda on the box tells you "Oishii yo!"  (おいしいよ!), that is "It's really tasty!" That it is matcha tea-flavored is the least interesting thing: everything is matcha tea-flavored in Japan.
