Pork stamps

It’s not often I wished I lived in China.  My friend Jeff is in Hong Kong now (I think; he was trying to get a job there last I heard from him), and that seems to be suiting him well.  Still, when I think of China, I think of censorship, poor treatment of girls, and my aunt’s brother who never had enough to eat.

And yet…they have invented the pork-flavored stamp.  It has its appeal.

“Stamps released in China to celebrate the Year of the Pig taste of sweet and sour pork.”

“When you scratch the front of the stamps, it smells of the popular chinese dish and when the back of the stamp is licked it tastes of the dish too.”
