Are these Mameshiba ads supposed to entice you into eating talking food?
by Brad Rice, 08/31/2009

When your food starts talking to you, that's a clear sign that something's wrong. Especially if it gives you inane trivia, like these Mameshiba ads are.

Found at TokyoMango, these ads strike me as unfailingly creepy. Apart from having a jelly bean pop out of a bag and tell me about a Koala's appendix, the music adds an atmosphere that makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I'm sure it's supposed to invoke feelings of wonder, but all that crosses my mind is abject fear. Those beans are going to try and kill me.

Still, the video set is wonderfully entertaining, and is something worth showing your friends. Luckily, we've collected all the videos after the jump for you to check out! So, enjoy these bits of trivia -- provided they don't creep you out too much.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch some Otou-san videos.
