"Meiji started selling the snack domestically in 1987 under the name Konnichiwa Panda, riding the wave of Japan’s panda boom sparked by the birth of giant panda Tong Tong at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.

But despite the panda craze, the product struggled to stand out in Japan’s fiercely competitive confectionery market, and Meiji stopped selling them just two years later, in 1989.

The snack, however, saw a completely different trajectory overseas.

The international version of Hello Panda debuted in Singapore in 1991, where the company originally had a factory, before gradually expanding around the world."

If you are visiting someone from Japan, can buy Hello Panda for them as a souvenir from SG! 🤣

I have been noticing more food being presented on broken(?) plates. I know of kintsugi but this is not even making the plate whole before the professional photoshoot. Cant seem to find the correct keywords to discover more. Anyone knows what this trend is called?

Found an old note and was wondering where I could use it. Showed this to a cashier at Lawson who said she hasn't seen this before...
