Japan Tobacco Inc. has a new energy drink made from the extract of eel heads and bones. Aside from the appetite-suppressing ingredient list, the manufacturer suggests that benefits include boosting stamina. Coming from a tobacco company... hey, it's got to be good.
C'mon, Eel heads? I'll accept that there are beneficial components to be found in a variety natural sources but I have to ask myself, "Do I really need to drink eel juice to increase stamina?" Really? The same, I think, is an appropriate question for just about every other "latest and greatest" thing to come from anywhere- and we've seen some pretty incredible things.
In the great empty expanse that is my mind, I believe that a sensible and balanced diet of healthy food consumed in moderation, accompanied by sufficient water, rest and exercise is enough to create all the stamina I need. In my completely fallible opinion, supplementing my diet with eel head juice, rhino horn, shark fin, or tiger penis isn't going to do me a lot of good. No-sir-ee and thanks anyway, I think I'll stick to meat, fruit, and vegetables-- supplemented by the squeezings of pygmy albino bat guano in suppository form... just like the good lord intended.

all I can say is, "eewwww eel!" :)
I love your closing remark, I agree whole heartedly and not half a@@!
Its not about energy drink, not about you losing 154lbs, it's about the pic in this post. It is sooo disgusting.
I think we are all in agreement here, healthy energy drink...yuck, yuck, yuck! Good post though...
Eel (unagi) sushi is pretty good but I don't know about the energy drink.
The Japanese appear to have many, many problems.
Our Namibian adult male seals are being culled to the level of extinction just for their private parts and our Southern African rhinos are being killed by poachers in horrific ways for their horns for Japanese men to improve their sexual stamina....why can't they just take Viagra like the rest of the World ?
