It’s unclear if these sets are still available as of this writing, but it appears many people are reluctant to try the product anyways.
Weibo users commented:
“I’m afraid I can’t stand it.”
“Will this wake me up at 4 a.m.?”
“How about for brushing oral ulcers?”
“Just thinking about makes me feel nauseous already.”
“I just want to ask … Does it come with a crayfish flavor?”
