Bite Me! Check out the Japanese gameshow behind the memes

This is not new news, it's old news. But maybe you haven't seen it, and it's so nutty that I feel compelled, with a box of Williams Sonoma Peppermint Chocolate Bark sitting open in front of me, to share this with you.

It's a Japanese game show where a curtain is whisked open to reveal a room, and the contestants are shown items in that room, such as a shoe or a picture frame, or a table, or a plant, that are highly unlikely to be edible. They are asked to guess if it's edible or not and then bite it.

Oddly, some of the items turn out to be stunning edible versions of things you would never consider chomping on. The video will give you a chuckle … just don't take a bite out of anyone sitting next to you. I take no responsibility if your significant other mistakes you for one of the walking dead.
