Green Brownie Sludge Frappucino
You know when you were a kid, and you made the Nobel-prize-winning discovery that if you dumped chocolate syrup into your milk, it turned into chocolate milk? And then you tried it with other things – like peanut butter and jelly – that were not quite so successful?

Read a novel set in Tokyo…

Writing mystery books set in Tokyo is mostly what I do, but I also blog about the odd stuff I see every day in Japan. I'm a graduate of Stanford University and the Sendagaya Japanese Institute in Tokyo, and a member of the International Thriller Writers, the Mystery Writers of America, and Sisters In Crime. When I'm not in Tokyo, I live in San Francisco. I also host a travel site called The Tokyo Guide I Wish I'd Had, so if you're headed to Japan and want to check out the places I take my friends when they're in town, take a look!
There must be a special school where people learn how to make these revolting combinations.
Either that, or they take turns throwing darts at a big dartboard in Product Development. “Oh look! This month, how many suckers do you think we can get to drink BANANA COFFEE?”
Maybe some Japanese exec went to a Dairy Queen and was amazed at the brownie shakes… and also had just watched the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and thought that people love green ooze.
I just discovered that your superpower is to magically conjure up the ghosts of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, because after reading this comment, today I encountered THOSE VERY SAME NINJA TURTLES posing with tourists in front of the Kiddyland store in Harajuku. (Only, by now wouldn’t they sort of be verging on the Middle-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles?)
