Slog - Comments on Thanks, China! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/thanks_china My friend brought back this "MEN'S EXTREME" lip balm (for "water in lip") from China: We were relieved to discover that it's "INSPECTION-FREE." Because when you're cruising the highways on your sweet X-treme man-cycle, you don't want to risk moisturizing with one of those NON-lead-poison-containin' lip balms. Inspection-free moisture. That's China's promise to you....

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 14:43:30 -0800 Comment by seattlexile My favorite gender-specific asian product is "Men's Pocky" - you know the frosting-covered biscuit sticks? Only difference I see is the "men's" kind is bittersweet chocolate & the box isn't covered in the otherwise requisite frolicking pink pandas.

It too is very tasty.

Though not gender specific, I think it might be a little bit gay.
