coke x world cup

Coke is a sponser of the World Cup, which is happening now in Brazil.

To promote this event, they have many bottles with "names" on them circulating in Japan.

There are family names as well as first names. They ask you to "look for your name" when buying a Coke.

Well, since they only have Japanese names, they didn't have "Kat".

I tried looking for Satoshi's name but couldn't find it.

You can also go to their shop in Osaka and "make" your own labels with your name on it. I think you need to show ID to prove that that is your name, though...

Anyway, I'm not paying too much attention to the World Cup, are you?

Is the country you are living in participating in the World Cup?

world cup chocolates

I first tried Ritter Sport chocolates when we went on our honeymoon to Europe. Although, I like dark chocolate, I enjoyed the milk chocolate butter biscuit bar and the whole hazelnuts bar.

When I came to Japan, I noticed that Ritter Sport were also sold here and directly from Germany (where Ritter Sport is from).

Well, the FIFA World Cup of Soccer is over. For those who didn't know about it, they were held in Germany this year and Italy's team was the overall champs.

Apparently, these flavors by Ritter Sport were only available in Germany, luckily I was able to buy them here in Japan! The packaging was cute! Each chocolate had photos of different countries' soccer fans. I am usually a dark chocolate eater, but these milk chocolate flavors were good chock full of peanuts and other good stuff!

Sunny Crisp: milk chocolate filled with a LOT of sunflower seeds and crispies.

Golden Peanut: milk chocolate filled with a LOT of peanuts

Espresso Crunch: milk chocolate with a coffee creme center, espresso chips and crispies

Hopefully they'll make these for their U.S. market! (or maybe they already have?)
