    Gumi Guum, you might have guessed, is a gum brand.
    If somebody could please translate, that would be great, but I'm guessing that the shark is chewing on the man to get the taste from the man chewing on the Gumi Guum?

    2. Gatsby body deodorant sheets

    So, there are currently these big nose installations at a Japanese university. According to ManaStar, passersby were told "YOU SMELL" and a pack of Gatsby body deodorant sheets would shoot out.
    Only in Japan. If these were installed in America------->lawsuits.
