グミの適量
私はグミが結構好きで、一回に一袋食べるのは普通で、一回に二袋食べたこともあります。
I remember. It's not the same message, right?
No.
OK.
一つの味をちょっとずつ食べようと思って気づいたらどっちもなくなっていたことも。
山に行くときに午前のおやつと午後のおやつと思って二つ持って行って、午前のうちに二つとも食べてしまったこともあります。
Yeah.
That's the message.
Is that it?
That's it.
I remember talking about this.
Yes, yes, yes.
You mentioned it.
That was the exact same question that I had.
Yes, yes, yes.
How much should a person eat the gummies in one go?
Yeah.
And this person is the type that cannot hold back, right?
He just can't control it.
Just two packs.
Two packs?
That's way too much, buddy.
Is it?
Even I know that.
Is it too much?
Even I can tell.
That's way too much, buddy.
Keep it chill.
What's the limit then?
What's the maximum?
Maximum is one pack.
Is that?
OK.
Obviously.
Because it's a pack, right?
You wouldn't go for another pack.
Obviously.
Is it obvious?
Way too obvious.
Unbelievable.
Why would you go for another pack?
Yeah.
After we talked about that topic, like gummies things.
Yeah.
Actually, so I wasn't into those genre, like gummies.
I hadn't been eating any of those since a very long time.
OK.
But after we talked about that, I went to the grocery store and just,
Yeah.
Oh, why don't I just go and see what's going on?
And I just went to the gummy section.
Yeah.
And watched.
I didn't know there are that many products.
It's unbelievable.
Like, that was like this.
The shelf was like this big.
Yeah, yeah.
It's packed.
That was so amazing.
Yeah.
And I picked the kororo.
グミの種類
Kororo, yes.
Kokoro.
Kororo.
Kororo.
Yeah.
I know what you're talking about.
It's like very cubed.
Yeah.
Right.
Rounded.
Rounded one.
Yeah.
That feels like an actual fruit.
Yeah.
You got a skin.
Yeah.
And you have something inside.
Yes.
I bought it.
Yeah.
And also, I took the famous one, like,
Pyuregumi?
Yes.
Yeah.
Pyuregumi.
It has mango taste.
Oh, right.
They have mango right now?
I didn't know that.
OK.
I took that.
Yeah.
Because you love mangoes?
Yeah, yeah.
And I tried them.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
And, yeah, Pyuregumi, oh, fine.
Yes.
Sure.
Like the classic Pyuregumi.
Good.
Fine.
Right.
I mean, it tastes great.
Yeah, yeah.
But I was amazed by Kokoro.
Kororo.
Yeah.
Oh, that's good.
グミの食感と味
I mean, yeah.
The texture.
That's good.
Right?
What did you like about it?
Is that...
It's the texture.
Yeah.
Is that feel that you bite it.
Like, it's...
I don't know.
It's like...
You can feel it ripping the skin.
Yes.
And you bite into it, right?
Yeah.
Just like an actual grape.
That was great.
It's unbelievable how they do it.
It really is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was amazed.
Yeah.
And, yeah.
Did you eat the whole pack?
Uh...
Not the whole pack?
No.
OK.
No.
But I just...
I went to, like, two, three at one time.
And...
OK.
What is it?
And just zip it and put it in my...
OK.
OK.
Yeah.
日本のグミ市場の現状
Yeah.
I mean, it's good.
I mean, the current gummy market, it's so extreme right now.
They have a lot of gummies.
Yeah.
They're selling a lot.
Do you have any, like, favorite ones?
So, yeah.
I mean, my favorite...
Coral's...
Yeah.
One of the favorites.
OK.
OK.
That's really good.
It's really good.
So, recent, more...
The modern gummies is what they're selling right now.
OK.
Yeah.
They have chocolate coated around the gummies.
That's selling a lot.
I think one of the most selling 7-Eleven product...
OK.
...is the chocolate-coated gummies.
So inside is gummy, and outside is chocolate?
OK.
Yeah.
I think it's a grape-flavored gummy that's covered with, like, chocolate, milk chocolate.
OK.
Yeah.
That's one of the best sellers of 7-Eleven.
And...
I tried it.
OK.
Not bad.
Not bad?
I would go for the more classic.
OK.
I mean, like, the, you know, Futochine, or Puree Gummy, or those like that.
And Coral, of course, I love that, too.
OK.
OK.
OK.
Other ones?
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Chocolate-coated ones.
Yeah.
I don't know if you'll love them, though.
I don't know.
It might be too much for you.
I see.
It's too sugary, too sweet.
Yeah.
I mean, you're kind of the guy that loves, like, the classic more, you know...
Yeah.
I think so.
I think so.
Yeah.
I might like Kaju Gumi.
Oh, yeah.
Kaju Gumi?
The classic ones.
Very classic.
Yeah.
Very classic.
So, maybe that's, like, too much.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Highly likely.
Highly likely.
Yeah.
But a lot of the foreigners, as well, they're coming here buying the gummies, too.
They've caught on that the Japanese gummies are, like, really good.
グミの魅力と問題点
Yeah.
They're buying a lot of gummies.
Yeah.
I can't imagine that.
It's...
It's like...
It looks cute.
Mm-hmm.
Colors are...
Absolutely.
...cute.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
The little small packaging and everything.
Yeah.
Cute.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tastes are different.
Oh, yeah.
Very fruity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very sophisticated and...
Right.
I mean, I love...
Unbelievable how Japanese companies do it.
Very nice.
Very nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I love, like, the...
The...
The gummies?
Yes.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
But the...
The...
I think, like, there were...
I don't know, seven, eight inside.
Right.
Not that many?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So maybe it's easy, kind of.
You can finish it at one...
True.
Right.
...one try.
Right?
You understand...
Yeah.
...this feeling of, like, should I go...
Even I can finish that if I have to, like...
Right.
Right.
Right.
But you also know that people don't go for two packs, right?
Yeah.
Not a two-packer.
If you go, like, two-packer...
It's weird, right?
It's too much.
Like...
Yeah.
You kind of...
You lost some kind of balance sense or something.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's like special occasion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, if you...
On the day that you...
Your result, your test result announced...
Yeah.
...and then you went to Yakiniku, right?
Yeah.
Instead of that, if you go two packs of Kokoro...
Uh-huh.
I can imagine that.
Yeah.
I can understand that.
Because it's just a special day.
It's a special day.
It's not a moment.
You can go for whatever you want, but...
If you're doing this regularly...
Yeah, that's...
...you have some problem fixed.
