WF and confectionery (Melon and the Market I)

Melons are indeed a source of inspiration for many other arts and disciplines, as the present post shall attempt to prove. The following items have been sighted and longed for by yours truly at The Japan Connection. They had manga, they had anime, with such excellent judgement it was only to be expected they'd pay the WF due regard. Count me in if they ever make it to Europe!

The above is Melon Chewing Candy. Well, I say, what a wonderful idea. I am almost sure we have melon hard sweets in Spain (I'll make sure to find some and keep you posted on the subject), but what better for the dentally challenged than some chewy, soft, delicious melon sweets!

Indeed, Melon Pockys! I am sure we do have chocolate ones in Spain (I am far from expressing dislike, I'm also a declared chocoholic), but melon? Oh what a pleasure it would be. It is to be regretted a Mediterranean country like Spain does not pay sufficient attention to the numerous properties of such a typical, summer fruit as our beloved melon.

And my favourite of the lot! Chocolate AND melon! What else do I need to add?
