  I've seen the Dick Sticks before and in fact bought some myself because they were so funny! However, the ones I bought are in a yellow container that say (in Korean) that they are "meat flavored." It's all the more funny because the company that makes them is Darwin.

  Many critics, no defenders,

  translators have but two regrets:

  when we hit, no one remembers,

  when we miss, no one forgets.
