[Doggie Doo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDyOD1C67J0) is a game where you “feed” a plastic dog a small amount of a Play-Dough like substance. Players then take turns squeezing a pump attached to the dog’s leash until the food comes out the other end. The player who squeezed last gets to collect the doo in a plastic shovel. The dog is then fed again and the process starts all over. The first person to collect three scoops wins the game. I guess the good thing is it might train people to clean up after their dogs in real life. ---

It’s pretty gross and tacky, but disgusting? Nah. Also, Japan. ---

I was curious about the thread, the info revealed using the hover feature made me laugh out loud. Not in the market to buy one of these “games” anytime soon but it is pretty funny. ---

It teaches a valuable lesson about the digestive system, as well as cleaning up after your pet. Mother approved! ---

You mean like this [Examiner is back - Examiner.com](http://www.examiner.com/article/santa-s-favorites-reindeer-poop-jewelry-ornaments-pate-soap-and-candy) , only this is edible? It’s amusing how little kids want to “play” what adults try to avoid: housework, cooking, going to work… ---

Hmm. If I’d known there was going to be an English-language version, I wouldn’t have ordered one [from Germany](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6nmHzPCTdw) a couple of years ago. ---

Ha! Yes, it’s disgusting. That’s kind of the point. I take it you haven’t been around young humans much? (Or college aged humans? Or drunk humans?) ---

Try this. Do a google image search for “Japan is weird” and see what kinds of things come up. Do NOT do this at work. ---
