The Mysterious Golden Egg

My roommate just got back from the quick-e mart down the street and gave me the rest of her Maiji yan yan choco cream snacks. Cool, right? You have no idea. For those of you who are not aware, yan yans are cookie sticks that you dip in Nutella-like spread. So I went right for the kill and halfway into my first stick she stopped me, "wait, what does it say?"

A bit confused, I looked at the stick which read, "Horse... Gallop Away"
what?
So I pick up another stick: "Zebra... Herbivore"
Okay one is a command one would use particularly with horses and the other is a descriptive noun that does pertain to Zebras but really includes a much larger class of animals what the hell is this?
Next stick: "Squirrel... Your Best Friend"
False. And completely irrelevant. Doesn't even tell me anything factual about squirrels.
"Seal... Loves to Sun Tan"
uh huh..
"Rabbit... Eat more carrots"
No, you eat more carrots
"Sheep... Wool Sweater"
wow, poor taste
"Mole... in a hole"
Oh my dear God.

Why would you even think of putting these words on sticks? And all together???? I mean... it just makes so little sense, whoever did this is an absolute genius (or Japanese, but still).
And then the best stick of all just says "Golden Egg" and nothing else. But of course, there are no words to describe a golden egg. I mean it's not like a beetle which, I don't know about you, but automatically makes me think "lucky color brown." No, golden eggs are a rare breed of... seriously, that's not even an animal why include it?

I have no idea but i can't stop giggling.

Many thanks to the nation of Japan (or possibly Korea) for giving me a great reason to stop reading about the Todaro Model (pictured left, under the yan yans). I literally stopped everything I was doing and ran out to the living room to steal batteries from the remote control so I could turn on my shitty camera to take a picture of these things. I had to, I was really hungry. Just in the course of writing this blog entry I have eaten every single one of those sticks except for Golden Egg. I could never part with the elusive Golden Egg.

I got 7 golden eggs in mine and then came my exams and I somehow actually got full marks for all of it. I think that the ‘golden eggs’ really are lucky.
