Sweat-infused Onigiri in Japan: Would you Eat it? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Sweat-infused Onigiri in Japan: Would you Eat it? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Onigiri or rice balls is a Japanese delicacy that is typically formed into a triangle shape using the palm of one’s hand. But the country has taken it one step further. It is selling onigiri - made from the sweat of “cute girls.” Because of the unique way it is handled, the onigiri is sold for a premium. While one ball usually costs around 100 yen, this one is around ten times more. Some studies suggest armpit sweat contains pheromones that can influence emotions positively but the practice is sparking heated online debates. But it isn't the only delicacy using such bizarre ingredients. Palki Sharma brings you more.

Bro this happens in India and it’s more widespread just look at the hundreds of videos of this kind of behavior that goes against the hygienic standards of every country, obviously they don’t represent the general public I just find it hypocritical that you’re not also pointing out the stuff that happens in your country too

[@kirtikonpratiwar4013]

The real hypocrites are calling us a hypocrite. Even you search unhygienic food in japan, or in italy or any other country or city even after specifying the name of the country you will only get the videos from india. This is how the suckerberg and youtube algorithm works, so you think only india has hygiene issues, rest of the world is very clean? have you ever seen a good hygienic places of india there are tons of them but no you guys are just focused on the negative thing which every country has. Facebook, youtube, insta and lots of other social media platforms They want to exploit india while keeping your dirty things hidden, just because internet is not showing these things doesn't means they don't exist. You guys are just brainwashed in a modern way. Get out of your well and look around and realise every country has good and bad side every country. Don't measure the level that India is more worse than any other country.

[@kirtikonpratiwar4013]

@friendlypenguin7012 what a hypocrisy, so you think virgin boy egg which is made from urine is not worse than indian street food? And that dish made of poo is still hygienic than indian street food? The hypocrisy you abd your people's are showing is of another level.

[@urldroidsuperbot2139]

I'm sure this is a niche market, one shop selling till the fad dies. Remember that in Japan, used panties are sold through the internet. Vending machines sells panties which look "used". If the breast milk ice cream was using sterilized human milk, I could try it once. If the milk is ethically collected from women who have weaned or lost their baby, and sterilized, it is not gross, I think.

[@PeopleAreNotForConsitution]

Breast milk ice cream should be banned. Because this is how crime and inhumanity starts. If people will start to buy breast milk ice cream then slowly there will be more market for it and more demand for breast milk by companies and they'll try to get it by all wrong means and innocent or poor women will be exploited. Breast milk is for babies. And should not be used by adults for any purpose.

[@cosmopolitanape6969]

[@PeopleAreNotForConsitution]

At the start ethnically, but if people like you will start to buy that ice cream and create a market for that then milk will be obtained unethically by exploiting the poor, helpless women. That milk is for babies only, adults have no right to that milk. How can you forget that Initially, people used to take the milk of the cow as much as it was left after feeding the calf, but gradually people started taking milk from the calf's part, and now the calves do not get milk, but the cow is forced to give more milk by injections.

[@Krishti337]

‘Disinfecting’ the skin of the arm-pits by swabbing it with antiseptic lotion just prior to squeezing sweat over the meatballs provides no safeguard whatsoever against potential transmission of infection to consumers who eat the delicacy.This is so because the bulk of germs in the skin, especially pathogenic staphylococci and streptos, ordinarily remain buried in the depths, inside sweat gland ducts, and they rise up to the surface when the pressure of freshly generated sweat squirts them up onto the skin surface. The Japanese government is displaying scant regard and concern for the well-being of customers visiting Japanese restaurants. The rites of supposed ‘disinfection’ of the armpit skin by the cooks is a blatant deception upon the clientele, as also a shameless affrontery to the intelligence of potential customers from among the general public. India must take stringent steps to ban the import and sale of Japanese food products in India pending a thorough exhaustive appraisal of food safety practices in Japan. The list should include Sushi which is fraught with risks of radioactive contamination from the Fukushima fiasco which was deliberately covered up by Japan.

😮🙏 Once a University invited an experienced Lama Monk to give lecture on humanity & one of the student asked the Monk why there are so many humans on planet Earth 🌏 now?! The Monk meditate for awhile & said : " Humans from the Past were usually cultivated more Good Merits & Wisdom & came from the Asura / Titan / Dragon / Phoenix / DemiGod or DemiGoddess Realm above us to take their last human life before being transformed into Higher Realms with their accumulated Good Merits & Wisdom while in their last human life , & these more Cultivated Beings are much less now as compared to the current era. Nowadays , many planet Earth 🌏 humans are from the Lower Realms of the Animals , Ghost & Hellish Realms , thus why these modern humans still carry over some of their past lives' habits of body tattooing , body piercing , getting high on psychotic drugs , getting drunk on alcohol , acting arrogant & territorial , love to cause troubles & to destroy & acting disrepectful towards good laws & order! 😮🙏 Now we can see some of them love to eat fried insects , disgusting foods & indulge in extremism in many forms!
