Stinky Rabbit-Poo Pills

I already wrote about this on 8asians.com, but I also wanted to share it over here. And by share, I mean, basically repeat everything to myself, all sad and alone.

But Tokyomango (a very entertaining blog about the randominities of Japanese culture) featured the Seirogan stuffed pillow. I’m probably spelling the medicine wrong, but this was the go-to pill any time I had a horrible tummy cramp (and I guess diarrhea but that is NOT for you to know). I even have some in my medicine cabinet right now, stinking everything else up, and even though it expired maybe like 6 months ago, I STILL made a certain significant other take it when he was complaining of indigestion. He said it didn’t work, and I think either he’s lying or this awesome shit only works on Asian people.

I even remember when Jenny brought up the stinky rabbit-poo pills once at Brown, and it was like watching the universe come together. (That and the fact that she also loved Emily of New Moon.)

Not get me started on how this pillow is also supposed to SMELL like the medicine. Gross.

But let me tell you…I really want their Kinkan pillows, which is basically the best mosquito bite medicine. I used to always get the worst bug bites in Japan every summer so that I had all these huge red welts all over my legs, despite the katorisenko. That burning stuff NEVER worked. Anyway, then my bites would get smaller and turn this bright magenta color, so not only did I itch like crazy, I also looked like a leper.

Okay, this really went off topic…

  1. Ohhh gosh! I remember these pills. In fact, I think we still have an old glass bottle of these brown, smelly balls from when I was 5 years old – and that was 20 years ago. I wonder if it works even better now that it’s potent from age! thanks for posting that in 8 Asians. :)
