Compilation of snack commercials: from the latest to nostalgic ones (211–220)
Choco Monaka Jumbo “Time Travel” Version
Morinaga’s Choco Monaka Jumbo celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022.
It’s one of those famous ice creams you’ve probably tried at least once, right? In the “Time Travel” commercial that lets you grasp the product’s history at a glance, Kanjani Eight ride a time machine and appear on screen.
You can watch it feeling like you’re time-traveling with them—from the original 1972 launch packaging, to the chocolate sauce era of 1980, and to 1996 when it took on the “Jumbo” name and grew 1.5 times larger.
Seeing it like this really makes you want to eat one, doesn’t it?
Porinky ‘Porinky Theater’
Once you hear it, you can’t get it out of your head: Koikeya’s Polinky commercial jingle.
In this ad, titled “Polinky Theater,” three Polinkys appear on stage and sing the Polinky song.
They sing about the secret of why Polinky is triangular, but the curtain falls on Polinky Theater without ever revealing it.
That lingering curiosity—and the catchy tune that won’t leave your head—may be stoking interest in Polinky and boosting the desire to buy it!
Milky “Soothing Milky” Version
When you’re tired from work or studying, or after you’ve overworked your brain, you suddenly crave something sweet, right? This is the perfect scene for the long-loved candy Milky, in the commercial “Healing Milky.” It stars actress Mone Kamishiraishi.
Just as she takes a short break at the office and pops a Milky into her mouth, she’s enveloped by a mysterious, fluffy presence and whisked away into a healing space…
It’s a visual that clearly captures that moment when you eat something sweet while you’re tired and you can almost feel some happy substance being released in your brain (lol).
Meltykiss: “This year, too, a melt-in-your-mouth like snow.”
Meiji’s winter-only chocolate, Meltykiss.
It’s been on sale since 1992, and Yui Aragaki has appeared in the commercials as the image character since 2011.
With this “This year, too, it melts in your mouth like snow.” edition, it marks her 11th consecutive year in the CM.
The commercial links Yui Aragaki’s clear, pure presence with the chill of winter, yet warms you from the bottom of your heart—no wonder it’s popular with both men and women.
This CM surely made many people feel relieved and even crack a smile.
And it definitely makes you want to have at least one during the winter, doesn’t it?
Giant Chocoball: “Crispy and Crunchy! Giant Chocoball” Edition
This is the Morinaga Otama Chocoball commercial titled “Kari-Saku! Otama Chocoball,” featuring Soiya Igari and Ryuto Sakuma, members of the five-member male idol group HiHi Jets.
The revamped Otama Chocoball’s texture is described as “kari-saku,” playfully combining Igari’s “gari” and Sakuma’s “saku” to rhythmically and comically convey the crunchy-crispy bite.
The sound is satisfying, and the catchy vibe is addictive—you might just find yourself eating too many!
UHA Mikakuto Cororo “Post-Commercial Video” Version / “Cororo Food Review” VersionKazuma Kawamura
A commercial starring Kazuma Kawamura, who is also a member of THE RAMPAGE.
He looks cool as he deliciously eats the juice-filled Kororo gummies.
The background song is THE RAMPAGE’s “STARRY LOVE.” This track is one of the group’s signature songs and the lead track of STARRY LOVE MID & BALLADE BEST “16PRAY.” The poignant, emotional lyrics about longing for someone far away are also a highlight.
