Anyone know where I can find information about these? Sets, years etc.
I’ve had a good look but I can’t find anything online. Don’t even know what year they’re from. Guessing about 2000

Those damn meiji are so secret.
I see there is an insertion on ebay claiming your full set is made of 42 cards.
Other ones of the sealed product, it’s similar to the one I was searching.
Can’t find more, sorry

I’ve spent hours searching. I can’t find anything. It is surprising how little is known about some parts of this hobby. I wonder if I’m just searching in the wrong language…

Good luck. I can barely find anything on it. Even when I use Japanese keywords.

They aren’t something I collect, nor have researched, although I have come across them.
The one on the left looks to be more recent than the one on the right. It is from a product (set) called:
Potato Chips Pocket Monster Super Change Card Vol .2
ポテトチップスポケットモンスター スーパーチェンジカード 第2弾
I’m not sure what the packaging of the product looks like.
The one on the right is:
Meiji Potato Chips Pokemon (NEW)
明治ポテトチップスポケットモンスターNEW
It’s mentioned here to have 4 different package designs.
Here’s a closer look at them (top left and bottom row):
The four packages provide the best before (BB) date of April 1999; chips usually have a 3-6 month shelf life. So that provides a good rough idea of when the release date was, but we don’t know how long the product had already been in production.
Something else that might be useful, I remember coming across photos posted on twitter by pokemon_cafe of some of their collection, showing 36 of them.

Meiji released a lot of lenticulars. They pumped out a bunch with their drinking mix products, for example:
I don’t know a lot about these collectibles, but hopefully this post helps in some way.
