SHOULD I SERVE ‘LIVING VITAMIN BALLS’?

I’m stuck with a couple of rather uncommon, store-bought Japanese and Asian treats that I bought for our daughter’s Foreign Language Club caroling party and didn’t end up serving. I’m debating whether to foist them off on my family this Christmas. They aren’t your typical sugar plums.

Here’s what the package says about the KangQuan dried dates, for example, and I quote exactly:

‘’Jinsi date, renamed as Xian (celestial) date, stays joied by its fibre when it issnoped. The pulp is tasty, deliciouse andendiess aftertaste.

‘’It is proven by morden science research that Jinsi date contains richly 18 kinds of amino acids, trace elements, calcivm, phosphorus, iron andmany kinds of vitamins needed by human body. Its content is 700mg/100g, 100 times higher than apple’s. It is known as ‘the living vitamin ball.’

‘’’KangQuan’ Brand, jinsi date, made of Jinsi date, sugar and jujube flower honey, is really a highgrade, nutritious and tonic delicacy. It is lie fallow food for ladies, children and the old people.’’

Should I set out these “Living Vitamin Balls’’ next to the Hershey’s Kisses? Those are what ‘’morden science’’ calls ‘’Living Fat Pills.’’

It could work!
