Wait, they do more than that?

That is Glico, my girl. They are ones that own Pocky.

Lotte is known for their gummy candies. I'll see if I can pop a bag later.

They are S$1.20 per box, as opposed to Glico's S$0.85 per box.

Lotte is known for making a bunch of imitation suspiciously-look-a-like snacks.

The difference with the Chinese Knock-offs are, being a major snack company on its own, Lotte ones are just as tasty as the originals.

The three big snack giants in Japan are: Meiji, Morinaga, and Lotte

I thought it was just a natural coincidence all Asian snacks seemed exactly the same.

Yeah it's sooooo natural that even packaging of very distinctly shaped snacks are identical. So much coincidence.

No need to even bring up China because well anything pretty much goes there.

I love those knock-off gadgets in China though, like sticking a 16bit system inside a Playstation-esque shell. That's some oddly-amusing ingenuity there!

With Meiji and Lotte in the same statement, this passed my mind :

What does Lotte have to do with milk?

Not Lotte. Meiji. Considering how Ao-jisan referenced to Lotte licking up other confectioners' designs.........

Interestingly Morinaga is known for its milk caramel other than its Hi-Chew sweets, so yeah, either way works.

Seitsuki · 2013-09-24, 05:16

Oooh, is that where Morinaga-sensei's name came from too?

The entire confectionery industry is one giant yuri front??

Morinaga was the one who started the idea that of girls giving chocolates to guys, according to wikipedia. Soon thereafter the girls found out that the local guys are getting soft, so they decided that it is no different that they give them to girls instead; probably that is where the yuri front came about.

Not that I am complaining though, at least they didn't advocate guys giving chocolate to guys.

No Sume-nee, no matter how much a stake in that company you buy, they will NOT run adverts like that.

Basically, if there is such a personification of the companies, I think it would be something like this :

Uuhmm.. do we need a ecchi a day? because nearly none of this is "funny"

Seitsuki · 2013-09-24, 07:09

Er, humour is subjective. Besides, cuteness is healing!

See? In the end it all comes down to lolis anyway.

Y'know... these anime/Disney pretty good most of the time~

One of the "saddest" thing about the Korean "knock-off" snacks: They actually taste better than their Japanese counterparts.
