Oh hello!
I’m currently studying for university entrance exams so I don’t have time to lurk on forums and participate here and there anymore. I hardly have enough time for WK honestly 
Thanks for checking up on me anyway, still web-slinging my way through Japanese!

Its a clip from „Gaki no Tsukai“, a long running japanese Gameshow.
One of their regular segments is called „Kiki“, where they test some kind of food blindfolded, and then have to try to find the exact brand they tasted out of an arrangement of similar products. Of course, there is severe punishment if they fail… 
It’s well worth checking out!

Personally I find katakana knowledge harder to hold onto because they show up less frequently when reading most text.

For me, I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily harder. Although I definitely read katakana a lot slower than I read hiragana, simply due to it appearing a lot less often. I won’t really forget katakana, although it just takes me longer to read a katakana word than it would a hiragana one.

WK mnemonics are the textbook example for in-jokes.

I’m surprised to see so little on’yomi/kun’yomi-in-vocabs references here.
After learning about when vocabs use which reading, the actual reading of the mayority of vocabs seem to be a “special case”. Even rendaku seems more consistent.^^
So far I tend to just learn the reading by heart, but perhaps those rules become more applied at higher levels ;).
