Spotted In Israel

Update: I’m not the first to blog about the dreaded Cock Mints.
Cock Mints aren’t manufactured in Israel but they are available for Israelis to purchase for their kids. And, of course, the kids love it! As you can see, its a novelty toy made to look like a pack of gum. However, when your unsuspecting target takes out the piece of gum, a silly plastic cockroach awaits him or her. What terror!
I’m still not sure where the name comes from but perhaps it is better if I don’t ask.

You’re quite the presence on the internet, Dave. IsraellyCool is the 4th most popular site on a google search of “cock mint.” I have never heard of the term, even as a gay man, where no penis reference, no matter how obscure, escapes our notice.
I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. Did you overlook what it says in the paragraph you quoted from the blog?
I was being serious but now I just saw the reference to a cockroach. I guess my mind’s in the gutter..where the cockroaches live incidentally.
I’m no theological scholar, but if I’m hearing Rick Santorum correctly, it is mistakes like this one which will send you straight to hell where you’ll have to answer to the lord of the underworld, Satan himself.
If I’m hearing Obama correctly, this company has created 213,000 US jobs – plus they deserve a half a billion dollar loan to develop “Anniegetyour Gum”, the next big thing.
Any political allusion you can make, I can make better.
You were great in last week’s Latma number.
I’ve got “cock flavoured soup” from Jamaica.
Wonder how much Wrigley’s makes off this look-a-like to their gum packages and name. LOL
have you seen Israeli cigarettes called ‘Nobless’
its been rumoured that smoking causes men to get erection problems so this is funnily accurate
