Namco sells Beetle-Shaped Chocolate for Valentines Day. Yum or Yuck?

February 14, 2009 in News comments 8

Can't find something unique to buy for your Valentine today? How about some of Namco's Valentines Day Bbeetle-shaped Chocolate? Yep, Namco isn't just in the video-game business... They have a few "food amusement parks" in Japan too. Which is where they sell these oddly shaped chocolates.

A set of 4 beetles cost a whopping ¥4,500 (US$50). They must be some pretty tasty chocolates!

Celebrate Valentines Day the Japanese way: with chocolates shaped like kabuto-mushi beetles! Dating an entomologist? Trying to introduce a little entomophagy into your relationship? Namco's Namja Land in Ikebukuro has your back. 4,500 yen for a set of four: one Hercules beetle, one stag beetle, one male rhinocerous beetle, and one female rhinocerous beetle. For the truly dedicated, there's a beetle-shaped cake (only available on Christmas and Valentines Day) too.

      They don't look like lifelike snakes and babies though.
