The following is on the back of a package I bought of "Yum Yum"-brand soft beef jerky, imported from Australia ("THE GREAT NEW TASTE FROM AUSTRALIA'S MULTICULTURAL MENU"): The meat contained herein is for personal use only and not for sale.

In less than a year, Sapp has gone from NFL wash-up in U.S. to marketing tsunami in Japan, where his image as a kind-hearted kick boxer is being used to sell everything from alarm clocks and pizza to wide-screen televisions and slot machines.
