That is such a good point but maybe that would have made too much sense so they went for the ridiculous instead. But they could have worked it in by having her do the packets and him do the Kopiko as the better option. I wonder if they were worried about the negative image being associated with the leads using caffeine inappropriately to overwork.
This is what I was thinking – it’s not really a positive association if these high school kids are eating nothing else until they collapse! (I also looked up when Kopiko became available because I was wondering if it existed ~15 years ago when they were in high school – it did! But I bet the packaging was different.)
Good point and to be honest I don’t eat milk chocolate often but when I do I am a caramel, toffee or just milk chocolate person so a coffee flavoured sweet would not be my go to even if it was available.

Doctor Slump: Who needs to eat instant coffee dry when there’s Kopiko Candy? A missed opportunity for PPL!

I saw this PPL in a very recent episode, wasn’t it in Dr Slump? The FL took one?

Perhaps it was in Marry My Husband. Seems that Kopiko has a ppl in every episode at least once.

It was definitely in Marry My Husband, because I remember wondering how that ugly candy transcended time.

The FL was using pink airbuds, so I doubt the time of production would have stopped them from using Kopiko if they had a chance.
