うまい棒を知らないという方、
こんな見た目のコーンスナックです。
やおきんが79年に生み出したロングセラー商品で今も昔も1本10円。小学校の帰り道、親に内緒で買い食いしたものです。しかし
ずいぶんとイロイロな味があったんですね。私が好きだったのはチーズ味、サラミ味、めんたい味。酒好きになるのを暗示していたかのようなチョイス。
Maybe I have to explain what is Umai-bo. It has been
Yaokin's long selling product since 1979, and it has been always ¥10 (5p). It looks like
this. I've just found out that there were
30 different flavours in total. When I was a kid, I used to go to a corner shop with friends to buy Umaibo on the way back from ementary school. My favourite flavours were Cheese, Salami, and Mentai (spicy cod roe). Hmmm, it seems like it was a hint that I became a drinker!
