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?
How to Play
–Post your guesses here in the Comments Section (tweets don’t count–sorry)
–Keep checking and guessing as the guessing gets good
–See who won; maybe it will be you!
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.

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!
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! 
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?
Can’t get enough?
Here are all of the Trippy Travel photos, guesses and winners–all on one page.
Enjoy!
