This is just LITTLE Bobdog. I wonder what he'll do when he's BIG Bobdog. I guess the nicest thing about this is it brings families closer together by promoting father/son activity.

LITTLE BOBDOG CANDY
Japanese candy. Sometimes Japanese kids want to smoke too, and it's not fair they have to wait until they get older. I saw this Little Bobdog character a lot in the Chinese stores so he must be popular all over. He seems like a sweet and cute little guy, sort of like Mickey Mouse, and he's a very skilled smoker too. See how his middle and index fingers pinch the cigarette like a pro? He makes it seem so cool he's already impressing his pal with it.

Wow. The power of advertising and marketing.
ReplyDeletePure evil.
But delicious!
nice art on the package the smaller figure looks like a complete swipe from the old Fleischer cartoons, while the one on the right has a little more modern edge to it, tho still obviously 'influenced' (re:stolen) by Fleischer/Disney etc.
Funny post KW!
You are right, he looks like Betty Boop's sidekick, Bimbo the Dog.
ReplyDeleteI miss candy cigarettes myself, it's easier for a minor to get a pack of smokes than the old candied ones from the good old 1960s... so,

Great Japanese product Keith, thanks!
Ha! It's easier for a kid to get a pack of real cigarettes, then it is for an adult to find a pack of candy cigarettes!
ReplyDeleteThats hilarious, r/e!
That is profound. Hmmm....
ReplyDeletepriceless! i remember candy cigarettes, i actually liked the taste of those things..
ReplyDeleteBrad, thanks! I don't think I ever had any as a kid. I did eat these just recently. These were like the Lik-M-Aid sticks, sort of.
ReplyDeleteThey had flour or powdered sugar on them, and I was told that was supposed to blow off like puffs of smoke.
I'm sorry. I regret.
