6) Crayon Shin-Chan Fake Beer

For those who are unfamiliar, it is a comedic manga and anime about Shinnosuke, a 5-year-old boy. Shinnosuke is not your ordinary 5-year-old and has (nearly) no manners. Although I really feel horrible for his parents, the scenarios are funny! His parents have their hands full with him! This series may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you enjoy dark humor and/or basic jokes about underwear, butts, and attractive women, this is the series for you. In case you wanted more of pudding butt from earlier, you can now make a fake beer with him! All you have to do is take the empty glass that comes with the packaging, pour in some water, and then add the powder. What then happens is a chemical reaction, which allows the foam to build and pour to the top like a badly poured draft. Unlike a draft, this candy contains 0% alcohol and tastes more like cola. So, stop drinking alcohol and enjoy this candy.
