Crab sticks were invented in Japan by Katsuichi Osaki who realised that leftover fish tasted like real crab when soaked in crab juice. The name 'crab sticks' was applied to this snack as a marketing gimmick. In truth, the Japanese name for crab sticks is “kani fumi” which translates to fish stick – crab flavoured.

What do you mean "wft"?
It's just fucking batter around some sausages.

If you mean the name it's about how it resembles a toad with it's body hidden while it hunts for flies.

Americans call it sausage toad and they also have a "toad in the hole" which is fucking eggs inside a slice of bread.

No, they put it on there because it contains "natural and artificial crab flavor", which probably means they ground up some crab shells and made a concentrated stock which they combined with other artificial flavors to give the crab sticks crab flavor. They have to include it in the allergies list because it contains trace amounts of crab. There's nothing even remotely suggesting there's any actual crab meat on that ingredients list.

And you're acting like a snarky 14 year old who's insisting he's right because "well technically..." even though you know damn well you're just being brat. Let me put it this way: imagine you go out to a restaurant and I serve you some a tofu dish that I dredged in flour before frying, and that flour was partially seasoned with a crushed up chicken bouillon cube. When you then complain that you ordered the fried chicken cube steak and all you got was tofu, how would you feel when I came out to your table and said, "well ackshually that does contain chicken so you're wrong, and I have absolutely no idea why you're complaining!"

it literally isn't.
They would out crab on the ingredient list if there was crab in it, not just crab flavor.
Crab flavor means they boiled something with crab, and then removed the crab out of the equation.
