What are these? And what are they for? Where was I traveling when I saw them?

Take a closer look, guess and maybe you’ll win this week’s Trippy Travel Photo game. The prize? A mention of your name and a link to your site from within this post (which is great for Google/SEO, etc.)

The Game

I post the pic, you try to guess and we have fun. Answer these questions (expanded instructions here):

What is it? (Or, as in this case, what are they?)

Where was it taken?

What was the situation? What is the purpose of the item?

–Keep checking and guessing as the guessing gets good

The Prize?

Nothing fancy. The winner gets their name/website link posted (and that’s great for SEO.)

By the way…this week’s Trippy Travel Photo  falls into the category: Off-Beat Oddities.

Click here to see the last three Trippy Travel Photos and the winners or to see more detailed instructions re: how to play the game.

The Winner…

Katrina of www.tourabsurd.com!

Her guesses: She had many and little by little, she got closer and closer to the answer. Here are two of her best guesses:

“… nut-stuffed figs (blanched almonds)…I’m leaning toward Turkey, but possibly Albania or Greece.”

“Is it a fertility symbol? Given to a couple to ensure a, ahem, fruitful union?” This is what made her the winner!

turkish-viagra-7579036

The Answer: Turkish Viagra

The photo: figs stuffed with nuts (blanched? almonds and maybe a few ‘other’ nuts).

The location: Spice Bazaar, Istanbul.

What is it? What is it for? These snacks are referred to (by those selling them in markets)  as “Turkish Viagra,” aka– an aphrodisiac for men.

The almonds (and walnuts), which contain Vitamin E , are supposed to increase a man’s libido.

The figs, which have a high mineral content, were one of Cleopatra’s favorite foods. Put nuts and figs together and, well…watch out Pfizer! simple-smile-9779341

Like this photo?

Then you’ll love Trippy Travel Photo #3, which is also from Turkey and is connected with, um, let’s say a dotted line? simple-smile-9779341

Can’t get enough?

Here are all of the Trippy Travel photos, guesses and winners–all on one page.

Enjoy!

Like the bus? Try the magic carpet!

Originally a blog about travel, chickybus now also covers lifestyle. It’s still a ‘bus,’ but it now takes you on other types of ‘rides.’

Like the bus? 
Consider a ride on the ‘magic carpet’!

That = my memoir about travel off the beaten path and into the moment.

Hi, I'm Lisa...traveler, writer, teacher and chickybus driver. Off-the-beaten-path travel is an exciting way to see the world and to live in the moment—and that's what chickybus was about for many years. The blog was a bus, a vehicle that took readers/riders on various travel journeys...
