"Mr. Poop is the name. Selling gum is my game."

In Japan, Mr. Poop (the character above) is well known! Here, Mr. Poop is selling wine-flavored gum that comes in the poop shape shown.

Wait— a character make of poop is selling alcohol-flavored gum to kids?! Timothy Takemoto —this is his picture— has an essay that explains some of this. (Read it here!)

Also, kids in Japan often learn the "Poo-Poo Song." Here's the words:

How's your tummy? How's your poopy?

Dr. Poopalot has this to say:

Chew your breakfast, chew it chew it

After breakfast poopy do,

Shiny poopy, rocky poopy, skinny poopy, slimy poo

Shiny poopy, rocky poopy, skinny poopy, slimy poo

Shiny poo is very healthy...when you poop!
