Often in the smaller size can to appeal to the Chinese market. Really odd flavors, though. Such as red bean soy, etc. ---------- "Why are you going to learn French?" "Because I'm going to France," says Joe. "I'm from the future. You should go to China." 2012-02-15 11:35:10 Permalink

That's only on a tiny piece of it, too. The amount of foods that pretend to taste good based on unlisted artifical flavoring is, um, many. While I'm awestruck at the sicentific ingenuity in making junk have taste, perhaps that's not where our best minds need to be. Last modified: 2012-02-15 13:34:24 by lk 2012-02-15 13:25:57 Permalink
