Are You Hot and Tired - Have a Glass of Eel

That's what they do in Japan when it gets into their hottest season. That means it is eel season. Now they have put out a canned drink and it is mainly for men who are exhausted by the summer's heat. They believe eating eel boosts stamina so now they came out with this fizzy, yellow-colored drink. It contains extracts from the head and bones of eel and five vitamins contained in the fish. Eel days are July 24 and Aug 5 especially this year. It makes me sick to think of it. Yuck.
