I love the design of the Coffeebeat tube. I also just love coffee in the morning. So maybe I'm a little hypnotized by different coffee items. I can imagine a series of photos of different coffees and cafes.

Coffeebeat is a coffee-flavored chocolate. I don't think the packaging design has changed in the decades since I was a child.

What is the gorilla snack?

It is a curry-flavored snack made in collaboration between a famous Japanese curry restaurant and a confectionery manufacturer. The mascot of the curry restaurant, Go Go Curry, is a gorilla, so there is a gorilla on the package. Don't worry. It is not a gorilla-flavored snack.

Sometimes I really crave ビスコ too.

I enjoyed this. Packaging really is a history trip isn’t it? Thanks for documenting it.

Exactly. Thank you too.
