A tin of cute: Pikachu Printed biscuits 2009

(tags food, Pikachu)

I had this tin of biscuit cookies sitting in my room for the last month. It goes by the name of "Pokemon Print Biscuits Pikachu" (ポケモンプリントビスケット ピカチュウ), and sells for 680 yen, starting 2009-07.

I don't really care for the cookies. though. It's the picture design on the tin. So full of Pikachu. So full of win.

Thanks goes out to the ポケモンプリントビスケット ピカチュウ post by いそがないで歩こう blog.

At the Pokemon Center Osaka, there is a lot of unsold tins though, so I can snag another. There is no need, I do admit.

I am a recent Pokemon fan so I was shocked and appalled to see an older design of Pikachu.

The Pikachu, mass-marketed, requires cuter proportions. The older Pikachu design is cute for a video game, but the current design bests even Hello Kitty in straight up kawaii.
