Weekly Blog Parts: Walky Walky

Written by: Michael Keferl on April 8, 2008 at 6:44 pm | In Technology & Gadget Trends |

This week’s Blog Parts are from Glico’s new walky walky candy. The commercials featuring drama star Oguri Shun have been in heavy rotation lately, but click the cup and you won’t be able to avoid seeing him again.

I’m not sure how people will feel about having their cursors and browsers commandeered for exploding candy, but it depends on how much they like Shun-kun. For the record, walky walky is basically little balls that taste like Pocky….but you can walk and eat them at the same time!

  1. mini pocky and Oguri Shun?! Yum!
    What a cute idea, I like it- though I wish the cursor didn’t make the actual page your on go to the walky-walky page…though a big picture of Shun-kun isn’t something much to complain about!!

  2. Its quite interesting that their advertising a candy you can eat while walking when eating while walking is bad manners in japan.
