More Chinese/Taiwanese Morinaga products requested by @Julius19 a while ago, that I have gotten around to identifying. Years of manufacture are approximate, more research is needed.
1999 (?) Morinaga Milk Caramel Candy (?)
Source description: “The premium in these which were in the top box are lenticular stickers (while the bottom box has caramels). The lenticular action is caught in this composite pic taken from slightly different angles catch charmander transforming/evolving.”
Source description: “The premium in these which were in the top box are puffy lenticular stickers (which figures in with the evolving themes of the graphics on the top boxes, while the bottom box has Morinaga caramels).”
- The original source describes these as Japanese, although they are from China. It also describes these as “Pokemon Caramel Stickers”. I can’t quite read the text on the packages or get OCR to scan them well enough to Google Translate, but I can make out the character for cow, which might refer to cows’ milk.

1999 (?) Morinaga Chocolate Cookies Stickers/Figures
友友球 in Chinese (friend ball) seems to refer to a cookie similar to those “Hello Panda Chocolate Cookies”.
Source description: " Morinaga’s cookies and cute figures! Oh, and a collector’s card with each as well. Shown here is Snorlax, Sandshrew, and Dragonite. These are from 1999 (as well as Nintendo/Sho-Pro licensed) so a bit harder to find now."
1999 (?) Morinaga Chocolate Balls - Keychain Lights
(Julius didn’t ask me to identify this, but I found it anyways on the path to identify the others).
Source description: “POKEMON Swing Lights - In the bottom of the package are chocoballs (one being eaten by Pikachu so we’ll know what we are supposed to do… I can’t help it, it’s still really cute). In the top box is the premium which is a small light that is also a swing to attach to keys and or packbacks or other important places.”
