In the words of Seleria, “I’m not sure if i should be insulted or amazed or amused at their marketing strategy”
And in case you’re wondering, I was sane enough to avoid buying this when I saw it in Animate Akihabara. Their jedi mind tricks won’t work on me! Though I can only wonder what would’ve happened if I already was a Hetalia fangirl right then and there. I’m just a… 50% fangirl atm.

I like that it is “Hetalian pasta sauce” =D.
LOL. But what is a 50% fangirl anyway? I don’t understand these complex mathematics of yours!
@Kabitzin: gotta wonder if this will spawn its own Hetalian restaurant soon
@ghostlightning: lol, it just means I’m not sooo into it yet!
I love my pasta and love my Hetalia, but both? And at absurd prices? Pass
Lol, “Hetalian” pasta sauce?
If there’d ever be a Hetalian resataurant, I suppose the servers would be dressing up like the characters…
@issa-sa: guess we’re both sane enough to avoid this trap!
@hazy: wow, Hetalian butlers, I like!
I think (as all jokes in this manner go; see also Clannad Bread-in-a-can, and OMG KYOU FLAVOUR OMG) part of the allure probably comes from thinking “What do Hetalia characters taste like?”
@ghostlightning: She’s 25% tsun, 25% dere for it, and the remaining 50% is still undecided!
Wow, moe rice, moe curry, now moe spaghetti sauce. Japan knows no bounds to marketing, eh?
@Owen: wow, I sure never thought of it that way. and uhm, wanting to savor the characters just sounds sooo wrong. Guess that’s ‘otaku’ for you.
and gah, stop making my formula sound even more complicated than it already is! And what tsun, blasphemy!
@Zeroblade: the worse(?) part is, the reason why they could think of these crazy ideas is because there’s a demand for it
If the description looks tasty and the price is right, I’d buy it – Hetalia be da@#ed.
yum. I wonder how it tastes. I would probably be a marketing victim and buy 2 pack of that.
Wonder if this is real food.
it is real food, my dear
