This looks harmless… and it looks like whatever is in there, there are two of them.

Looks like we have been tricked as this is a product of Japan. Oh well. The first two ingredients are flour and sugar, we believe our hero is safe. But wait? What's this?

Rapeseed Oil? Gross. Good thing it is only mildly toxic to humans.
Upon opening the box we find two foil sealed packets and some kind of warning on the flap.

I had my good friend Arata Isozaki translate the text on the flap.

Opening the foil reveals… eight, cute little burgers!

This photo illustrates the smallness of the burger and the largeness of the hair on Erik’s arm which migrated down from his scalp.

Erik eats the burger and to his delight…

IT’S DELICIOUS!
They taste like Kit-Kats with a slightly gritty, but inoffensive, texture.
Thanks Erik! And thank you to the Mid-Ohio Poison Control and Stomach Pumping Facility.
