In addition, it also contains plenty of roasted peanuts, which is also the "supporting character" of caramel corn, which enhances the deliciousness.
◆ Reason for containing peanuts
Do you know why caramel corn contains roasted peanuts? In fact, the aroma and saltiness of peanuts play a role of "chopstick rest" to keep eating sweet snacks.
When the caramel corn is layered with peanuts, it mixes in the bag due to vibrations during transportation, and the peanut flavor and slight saltiness spread throughout the snack. This will complete that sweet and sour familiar taste. This hasn't changed since it was first released in 1971.
◆ Package has a history
Package design also has a long history. In the past, collaboration packages with famous manga artists such as Tetsuya Chiba, Momoko Sakura, and Takao Saito have also appeared for a limited time.
