airyairyaucontraire:shoku-and-awe:ohitoyoshi:bearzerky:malformalady:Farmers in Japan have created pentagon-shaped fruits.The iyokan citrus fruits or ‘Gokaku no Iyokan’ were handed out as a good luck charm for students in the upcoming entrance exam season in Yawatahama, Ehime.They are made that way because in Japanese, the word for pentagon 五角(gokaku) sounds nearly identical to the word for successful passing of exam 合格 (goukaku).Plus iyokan いよかん (iyokan) sounds like 良い予感 (ii yokan) or a good + feeling/premonition/hunch!I feel like Japanese is probably a language particularly rich in dad jokes. -- source link
