My surprising things in USA

 2008-05-16
I was very surprised at huge size of the Cup when I saw it for the first time.
I think you might imagine something championship cup, but it's not the cup.

The cup, I'm just going to mention, is about "Lingerie." I had never seen such kind of the lingerie which had extremely huge cups in my life. It seemed to be so huge as to wear as a hat and it looked like a "Donburi"- a big bowl, we call it "Donburi" in Japanese. The lingerie shop at the department was just as a big bowl shop for me. Anyway, huge! I was overwhelmed by the giant cups of American size bras.

Oh, Do you want to try it?

アメリカサイズの下着はとても巨大だ。ブラのカップはまるでどんぶりの様で、帽子として被れるくらい十分な大きさかと思われた。下着コーナーはまるでどんぶり市のように見えた。大きい。とにかくでかい。初めて見た時は圧倒されました。

Next my surprising thing is here.

Oh, how appetizing sponge cakes they look! Do you know about these cakes? The name of these cakes is "Twinkie". Have you ever tried it? I'm afraid not yet. I was very surprised when I knew the calories it had. How much calories does it have per each do you think?

Each Twinkie has about 145 kilo calories.

However, there are many high calorie snacks in Japan, too, so it's not so surprising thing, but I found the article refers to "Fried Twinkie" on wikipedia. I don't think necessary to fry it which has already baked up with a vanilla cream, moreover. I was surprised at the way to eat.

About Twinkie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkie

このおいしそうなスポンジケーキ、Twinkie(トゥインキー)は一本あたりのカロリーが145 kcalもある。でも日本にだって高カロリーなスナックはたくさんあるからそんなに驚くべきことではない。だが、wikipediaに"揚げTwinkie"なる記事を発見。バニラクリームたっぷりのスポンジケーキを更に揚げるかね。。私は揚げる必要はないと思うんだけどなぁ....。食べ方に私は驚いた。

Hi Eko,
Some years ago when Victoria's Secret debuted the "Miracle Bra", I saw a television interview with a spokeswoman for their company. She wasn't a model for their clothing, just someone who worked for their marketing department.

During the brief interview, they had a few models come out on stage and the woman talked about how the Miracle Bra enhanced their cleavage.

Finally, the host asked the spokeswoman, "Are they comfortable to wear? Do you like wearing them yourself?"

Blushing, she replied, "Actually, our company doesn't make a size small enough for me..."

Ah, what an uncomfortable moment...

My heart went out to her. There's nothing wrong with being petite, but Victoria's Secret doesn't
bother to make things for women like her. It must be a bit awkward being a spokeswoman for a lingerie company and not being able to wear their lingerie herself.

I guess petite women in the US have to find somewhere else to buy their nice bras... or else eat lots of Twinkies until they get big enough to fit into Victoria's Secret bowl-sized cups! ^^;

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the nice topic! I'm sorry for the spokeswoman, but I had the giggles. The host seemed to touch a secret of Victoria's Secret. yeah.. nothing wrong with being petite. Oh, I can imagine how the moment uncomfortable was... In my case, I bought all of my lingerie in Japan, so I have never bought them in the US.

>I guess petite women in the US have to find somewhere else to buy their nice bras... or else eat lots of Twinkies until they get big enough to fit into Victoria's Secret bowl-sized cups! ^^;

LOL!!! That's a nice idea. Okay, I'll eat lots of Twinkies to fit into "Bowl-sized bra", Oh, hang on second... if I could wear it completely, I'll have to find another large sized panties,too.

うぎゃ〜〜〜〜、このお菓子は勘弁ですね(T_T)
やっぱり、和菓子の国の者からすると
ちょっとやり過ぎ〜な感じだわ、これ。

その上に、オプションでシロップがけ出来たり
チョコレートソースをかけたりしたら
もう、一日食べなくてもいい気がします!

欧米に脱帽!

米国の人は(すべての人がそうだとは言い切れないけど)朝から平気でごっついチョコレートパフェ食べてたりするので、食習慣に驚かされることがしばしばありました。欧州の人はどうなんだろう?

このwikipediaのTwinkieのの記事を見てみると、「Twinkieが油に触れた瞬間、マジックが起きるー白い植物性のフィリングが溶け、スポンジに染み込み洗練された味になる。」みたいな事が書いてありますよねー。”表現がミスター味っ子”もしくは”おいしんぼ”並みにすごい。記事を見るだけでもうお腹いっぱいです。。。。

I try to write about memories of life in the U.S to practice English. Maybe you will find many mistakes on it, so please correct them!
