Things That Are Funny When You're Not Japanese: Health and Beauty Edition

Japan is a pretty wacky place. Especially when you're a foreigner. From all kinds of zany products, to the hilarious Engrish that graces their packaging, it's enough inspiration for a whole new series: Things That Are Funny When You're Not Japanese! Kicking it off are some health and beauty products to get you in the mood to shape up this holiday season:

My greatest beauty find to date! Just 5 tablets a day, and you can have the "heavenly" body you always dreamed of (warning: may cause excessive facial hair and a strange glow).


The Engrish on this box of Jesus Body gives perhaps a better ending to and summarization of this post than I could have ever come up with:

New discovery to be kept secret from others.
This discovery is a secret.
I can lay it down because I am correct.
We will not make you scary.
Pleasure to have the real thing.
I really longed for this.
