Umaibo is a puffed, cylindrical corn snack. It costs only 10 yen and has many flavors like BBQ, salad dressing, mentaiko, takoyaki, cheese, curry, cocoa, caramel, chocolate, etc. As the king of junk snack foods, Umaibo is often used for silly challenges. For example, this is a "eat 1000 bars of Umaibo in a week" challenge. One guy actually ate 1000 Umaibo in a week, which means he had at least 142 Umaibo per day. Assuming he slept 7 hours a day, he had to eat 8 Umaibo every hour. Actually, he ate them at work, and even brought Umaibo with him when he visited his friend's home. Sometimes, he baked it, boiled it!, steamed it, and then drip-filtered it (finally, he come to the conclusion that he should not try any other methods). He could reach his goal of 1000 umaibo anyway.
Here is another good topic about Umaibo. An artist used umaibo to make buddha sculptures, called "tasty buddha." Ha ha ha, I love it.
By the way, Umaibo's mascot is strange. Apparently, it looks like Doraemon. And did you know this? The FCC (Federal Communications Commission in the US), an independent United States government agency, used a knockoff of Doraemon or Umaibo's mascot for their kids zone page. That character says "My name is Broadband." Using such a fake, copyright infringing character is okay as long as it is in an official capacity for the United States government? Ha ha ha

Copyright Infringement? You think it's IP theft if someone else makes a fat cat character? Seriously? You've got a lot to learn about copyright.
