Compilation of snack commercials: from the latest to nostalgic ones (141–150)
Meiji Suginoko Village
Kinoko no Yama and Takenoko no Sato are still on the market today, but if you were born in the Showa era, you might remember there was another snack in the family.
That was Suginoko Mura.
This is a commercial for Suginoko Mura that aired in 1987, and many of you may have felt nostalgic watching it, thinking, “Oh right, there was a snack like that!”
Meiji Fruit Juice Gummies: ‘Grape Vineyard’ Edition
This is a commercial showing a vineyard where the grapes used for the fruit juice gummies are grown.
It highlights that grapes meeting strict standards are sourced from around the world, and it talks about the commitment to 100% fruit juice.
It’s a commercial that focuses not only on great taste but also on food safety.
Koikeya Polinky
Polinky is a snack released by Koikeya in 1990.
It featured a trio of characters called the Three Polinkies, and the original song that put the snack’s shape and delicious secret into the lyrics was unforgettable! The tune was so catchy that you couldn’t help but hum along, and it surely remains in many people’s memories.
By the way, you might expect the song to reveal the secret, but in the end it wraps up with a cheeky line: “We’re not telling you!”
Haagen-Dazs The Milk: “First Richness”Kia Nakanishi
This is a commercial introducing Häagen-Dazs The Milk, which boasts a rich, creamy milk flavor.
It highlights that it’s the most intense among Häagen-Dazs’s milk-based ice creams to date, building anticipation.
The background music features ena mori’s 2024 track “Trust Me,” a stylish song characterized by its striking bassline and snare, complemented by ena mori’s clear, airy vocals.
UHA Mikakuto Puccho: “Have you noticed?” VersionAee! group
これは、アイドルグループAぇ! groupが出演する、ぷっちょぶどう味のキャンディのCMです。
At first it sounds like they’re just saying the group’s name, but when you play it back slowly, it turns out to be Puccho’s promotional tagline.
Great casting choice, right? The moment at the end where the members nod is also very memorable.
Morinaga Confectionery Choco Monaka Jumbo “Crispy Ruins” VersionSUPER EIGHT
In this commercial titled “Crispy Ruins,” the members of SUPER EIGHT become an expedition team and set out to uncover the secret behind the delicious taste of Choco Monaka Jumbo.
Although they fall underground right after setting off, they discover that the wall of chocolate along the side of the Choco Monaka Jumbo is the key to its great taste.
It’s a fun commercial to watch.
Akagi Dairy Sof’ “For Some Reason, the Lord Above” Version
This commercial plays on Akagi Nyugyo’s Sof’ concept of “just the top of soft serve,” showing what that means through a whimsical worldview.
As the amusingly titled “Somehow, the Upper Lord,” only the upper part of a shogun—namely, his face—slowly walks off somewhere.
It does depict a state of being “only the top,” but when that idea is presented through something entirely different, it can be hard to grasp.
The footage makes you feel that perhaps the right approach is simply to focus on the comedy.
