New Choco Ball drink ... and Kyoro chan

The new Choco Ball drink in peanuts flavor 
I have been developing the habit of checking the racks in detail trying to find new things every time I go to supermarkets or snack shops. This time I found ...

the new Choco Ball drink in peanuts flavor! ^_____^ 

The taste was not as imagined, but it was unique and I find it quite light compared to other milky drinks. The peanuts flavor is quite strong, so definitely it's not just like a normal chocolate milk. The parrot at the packaging is  called Kyoro chan. Isn't it cute?! So excited! Kyoro chan is definitely the new character I'm obsessed with this year! ^^

Kyoro chan (キョロちゃん) is a Japanese cartoon character that is a mascot for Choco Ball, a brand of Morinaga chocolate. Due to its popularity, this super cute parrot had his own anime series in 1999-2000 and a movie which was released around 2000-2001 in Japan, as well as soft toys and other related merchandises.

Kyoro chan has a lot of expressions, but he always looks happy and smiling. I love this character because it just simply brightens my day and makes me smile just by looking at him. ^^ In this case, I’m going to hunt for Kyoro chan soft toy to put it on my desk, so hopefully working won’t be so boring anymore! ^_^

I mentioned before in my previous post, that there is a chance to win Kyoro chan merchandise if we are lucky. I still wish I could win! ^___^ But yah... it seems impossible.

Anyway, I just changed my display wallpaper to Kyoro chan wallpaper downloaded from the official Kyoro chan / Choco Ball website from Morinaga. The website is exxxtremely cute and gives a happy feeling just by looking at it! You have to check it out! And of course, don't miss the video below!
