Collon is another Japanese candy whose English name is rather disturbing. It appears that it is some sort of crispy wafer with a creamy filling. Collon comes in other flavors too (though Chocolate Collon is the funniest): Cream Collon, Strawberry Collon, and Green Tea Collon. Eating a candy named after a body part that contains human waste just isn’t too appealing to me.

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the laugh. I never really paid much attention to the candy when I was in Japan, so this stuff was new to me. Asse and Plopp? Poorly named, indeed!

in hebrew, the word for lollipop (& lollipop is an extremely well named candy, i think!) is mtsitsiya (something to suck on), but it has recently become the slang, yet commonly used term for blowjob - and is therefore also an unfortunate candy name imho, though i imagine some men might like that.
