Even Heroes Gotta Eat: Jack Bauer in Japan

So, regular readers know that we're "24" fanatics here.

However, over four and a half seasons of "24" so far, each of which covers an *entire* day, I bet I could only count on one hand the number of times I saw Jack Bauer eat. (Never mind going to the bathroom!)

It turns out, though, he *does* eat... at least when he's in Japan. He eats... something called Calorie Mate.

And he makes commercials for them. All with "24" sound, effects, and excitement.

In fact, when I went to find the commercial I *knew* about, I found that there are now two others. And they're all kind of amusing! Check them out:

The first:



The second:



And the third (my personal favourite):



And not only that, there's even a website (but, of course, it's in Japanese): www.cmt24.net. Man! These people are *serious*!!

Luckily, I'm one of those people who isn't affected by marketing.

...but I wonder how I can get my hands on some of this Calorie Mate stuff? If it's good enough for Jack Bauer, it's good enough for me! (wink)
