By name, it's not a stretch to think that Kubota Foods' 'Booby Ice Cream' treat sounds like it might actually contain breast milk. Fortunately, the ice cream's ingredients are pretty ordinary, although the same can't quite be said for its packaging.
Instead of eating this ice cream by the spoonful or cone, this Kubota Foods product comes in a breast-like shape with a pointed tip that needs to be snipped off. Although it's a little unconventional, you have to admit that this way of packaging ice cream does seem like it would be much more mess-free on a hot day. As much as Kubota Foods plays up the ice cream's likeness to a breast, thankfully it didn't go as far as selling them in pairs.
