"I bought 16 croquettes just in case. I have already eaten 3 croquettes."

This is a post from the 2001 2-channel typhoon commentary thread. With this writing as an opportunity, voices saying "I want to eat croquette" continued, and the "culture" of "croquette on typhoon day" was firmly established. But is croquette really eaten a lot on typhoon days?

Therefore, the gourmet information site " GourNavi " shows the number of searches for the GourNavi search keyword "croquette" from August to October 2013, the number of searches for "typhoon" on Google during the same period, and the actual time of typhoon occurrence. The comparison was published as an infographic article " A suspicious relationship between typhoons and croquettes?"

It seems that the number of croquette searches is increasing when the typhoon hits directly

It also introduces the typhoon food "Hirayachi" that is actually in Okinawa, the number of croquettes that should be eaten per day calculated from calories, and foods that are effective in improving poor physical condition due to typhoons.

Looking at the infographic graph, it seems that there is a slight relationship between typhoons and croquettes. The article concludes with the words, "Be careful about your safety and chew on the croquette."
