A package with a pattern reminiscent of "Cthulhu" has appeared in "Meiji Black Chocolate" this year as well. Designed by fans of popular horror works. You can enjoy bittersweet chocolate while feeling the cosmic horror. In addition to the illustrations that can be seen from the outside, a little trick is hidden, and I will introduce that as well with "spoilers".

At this time of year, meiji chocolate will be packaged in a fancy design that is different from the usual one. There are a total of 50 types, but this time I bought 5 types of bitter black chocolate patterns.


In addition to Cthulhu (?), A monster design reminiscent of Godzilla, a black cat design, a tool design, and a princess design reminiscent of Cinderella. The message is drawn when both are turned over.

Cthulhu (?) Design

American writer Howard P. The design reminiscent of the mysterious existence "Cthulhu" that appears in Lovecraft's mysterious novel series is eye-catching. The character that combines the octopus, the dragon, and the human is really cute, but it's scary.


Next to it is a character with a conical undulating head, which is probably another existence "Nyarlathotep" that appears in Lovecraft's novels.


The star-studded background is reminiscent of the universe. When you turn the back, a little SF taste message is written. It may be a good idea to give it to someone who seems to have a hobby and use it as a starting point for the topic.

Monster design

A design with characters reminiscent of the popular monster movie "Godzilla". Many helicopters are flying, and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a monster movie scene.

When you turn the back, you will get the perfect message. It might be interesting to give it to someone who likes monsters.

Black cat design

A design featuring a lot of black cat characters with round eyes. The message that appears when you turn over is still about cats. It seems good to give it to people who like cats and also like black cats.

Tool design

A design with a wrench, a hammer, a screwdriver, a tool box, and various tools. From furniture to electronic devices, it would be nice to give it to someone who likes to make things.

The message that comes out when you turn the other side may be a very specialized story depending on the other party.

Princess design

A design reminiscent of the fairy tale Cinderella. Illustrations of glass shoes and the castle where the ball is held are also included. Is the message that comes out when you turn the other side suitable for people who understand puns?


There are many other designs, so if you see them at convenience stores or supermarkets, be sure to check them out.
