Tyrolean chocolate often seen beside the cash register at convenience stores. It was 10 yen when I was a kid, right? But now it's 20 yen. Even though the price of things has dropped, why did the price of Tyrolean chocolate rise by 100% ...? ?? There was a good reason for this.



According to the Tyrolean chocolate web page " Tirol's Secret ", the old-fashioned 10-yen size couldn't print the barcode used at the cash register on the package. When the chocolate was enlarged to match the barcode size, the price was raised to 20 yen accordingly. So that's it! I'm convinced.

However, I feel like I'm a little overwhelmed ...

By the way, a lot of new products will be released from Tyrolean chocolate in September. Today, I would like to introduce three of them that the En-eating editorial department was interested in.

■ Suddenly dumpling



You might think, "It's not Tyrolean chocolate at all!", But that's not the case. This is a reproduction of Kumamoto Prefecture's famous "Ikinari Dango" in Tyrolean chocolate. The package also features the Kumamoto character "Kumamon," who won first place in the "Yuru-chara Grand Prix 2011."

"What is Ikinari dango?", "How did you reproduce it in Tyrolean?", "Who is Kumamon !!", and so on. But it's cute, so let's forgive it.

Release is September 3rd. The price is 105 yen.

■ Omikuji Goen



This is a chocolate with a fortune slip. It is no longer a product that has nothing to do with Tyrolean chocolate. Clean!

There are five types of Omikuji, Daikichi, Kichi, Nakakichi, Kokichi, and Daikichi, and if a villain appears, you will receive an "original amulet". When you say that, you'll want to try hard until the hell comes out.

It will be released on September 3rd. The price is 105 yen.

■ Tyrolean chocolate [caramel nuts]

Tyrolean chocolate [caramel nuts]

Finally, the orthodox Tyrolean chocolate is finally here. New flavor "caramel nuts". The crunchy texture of peanuts and hard biscuits is the selling point.

It will be released on September 3rd. The price is 21 yen, which is nice for your wallet. I have to be careful and try not to eat two or three .....

It seems that you can buy any product at convenience stores and supermarkets.
