Doesn't the blue food coloring makes you NOT want to eat them? Or am I mistaking my colors vs. barf factors?

Yeah, I think it's the blue. I loves me some nikuman every once in awhile, but these don't look appetizing to me at all... like some sorta smiling unicorn poop, or something! Laughing

The article says they're not using artificial food coloring so to get that color they're probably using a berry juice extract of some kind. The color could give some people pause, though - blue food of this kind might make some folks a little queesy.

I'd eat one, no problem, starting with the face. I like pork buns.

It's like when stores have green bagels on St. Patrick's Day. I love bagels, but it's hard to go for ones that look moldy.

Slimes are adorable, and nikuman are pretty damn tasty. However, slimes and nikuman don't seem like a very good combination...

But i'd happily eat sugar cookies with green sugar. Guess it's how you present it......
