Right now, in the experimental stage, the images are merely being used to market to a specific market segment. This segment however could actually grow it's own oddball culinary delights. A strange combo might take a long time to take root in regular markets (like say - peanut butter and jelly, bug-in-a-candy, Carrot-milk-egg.. ) but can easily support itself as a premier product in the otaku markets. Previously mentioned Curries: [Ararara-ra] Akikko Mysterious Jam Curry [Palmtop Tiger] Ryuji Extra-Spicy Curry [EcureuilMatrix] Ciel Vampire Ward Curry Other possible examples: Ja-Pan breads Cooking Master Boy recipes Astro Fighter Sunred Tarako Spaghetti (Actually Gen.Vemp) Cecile Croomy Blueberry Jam Onigiri Cecile Croomy Sugar and Wasbi Sandwich "All Hail Otaku!"
