The pet product aisles of Japan never fail to deliver new levels of animal pampering, and no product category is more over-the-top than treats. Can you guess which ones are for pets and which are for humans? They all of them claim to be…

Dripping with flavor!

Crunchy and snackable!

Filled with tasty goodness!

Drizzled with frosting!

Exactly like those cookies you can’t resist eating the whole box of yourself

Were you right? Here are the answers!

Human ginger-honey throat lozenge on the left; fish oil-soaked cat treats on the right
Doggie toothbrushing sticks on the left (“with Vegetables!”); “Salad flavor” human pretzel snax on the right
Chicken-flavored cream-filled balls for Fido on the left; Chocolate-filled bean bun snacks for hoomans on the right
Fish cream drizzled nyan nuggets on the left; honey-drizzled chocolate candy on the right
Dog biscuits on the left; human biscuits on the right, and I dare you to tell these apart on a snack tray
