Meiji Chocolate Effect: “The Return of Professor Choco” EditionKanji Ishimaru
A comical piece featuring Kanji Ishimaru as Mr.
Chocolate.
In response to the parrot’s question, “What’s the deciding factor when choosing high-cacao chocolate?”, his deadpan PR pitch—“The amount of cocoa polyphenols.
Amount, amount, amount.”—is hilarious for its utter lack of guile.
I’m also impressed by the perfect timing of the parrot’s punchy interjections that fuel the laughs!
