This is the cutest yet rather dangerous PSA regarding mochi. Make sure to eat in small bites and to bend the person over before smacking them from behind!

Its consistency makes people naturally want to swallow it before properly chewing it up. Since it's typically more dry on its exterior, it's easy to underestimate just how sticky it is once it's exposed to moisture. Some of the best I've had was stuffed with sweet red bean paste.
