Hello Kitty Bubble Gum

"This is the candy that I used to eat when I was a kid," said Dad handing me a box of Hello Kitty galore. This particular Hello Kitty themed snack is one of the souvenir that my Dad bought during his trip to Osaka - it had printed pictures of Hello Kitty everywhere, including the box and the candy wrapper! Each box is filled with 20-something wraps of bubble gum and each wraps has different picture of Hello Kitty on it. So, those who love Hello Kitty would definitely go ga-ga over it!

A pack of Hello Kitty Bubble Gum

Which one, which one. . .

I took a candy, slide it out from the adorable and colorful Hello Kitty wrapper, then undress it from the aluminum foil wrapped around it. Inside was a rectangular light-colored bubble gum candy. Judging from the color of the gum, the flavor had to be orange. 

I chew the candy and I was right, it had the flavor of an orange. The gum is very chewy and elastic, unlike any other bubble gum I have ever eaten. I chewed the candy for 10 to 15 minutes, probably longer, and didn't harden and was still elastic and gooey. What I love the most about the candy is that you can make a big balloon bubble with it! 

I have never eaten a bubble gum that stays gooey and stretchable after half an hour chewing it, even the flavor was still there. As expected from a Japanese product.

Japanese Knick-Knacks


My Dad just got back from Osaka, for the third time this year, and he got me a sackful of knick-knacks! "I brought your treasure," Dad said when he arrived at our home. He unzipped his luggage and pulled out numerous colorful boxes, it lasted for several seconds. It's like watching Mary Poppins pulling out a lamp from her magic purse. 

Dad got me a pack of Hello Kitty Gum, a box of Strawberry Mouse, three packs of Asahi Biscuits, and three boxes of Popin' Cookin': DIY Candy Kit. All of them are very colorful, as expected from Japanese products. I can't wait to taste them all!
