2. Introduction to Japanese food and games
The word "eating and playing" itself is a saying from Japan. Eating and playing is simply a toy with food. Originally called "candy toy" or "candy food", the Japanese name is キャンディトィ, and in Japan it is called "playing with fruit".
In addition, some domestic classifications classify toys attached to children's meals in fast food restaurants as a kind of food and games, which should actually be called "fast food toys".
The typical content of snacks is beautifully printed carton packaging, which contains candy, toys and instructions. Candies usually have related toy signs. Some snacks and games are accompanied by toy collection cards in addition to instructions. In addition to the beautifully printed contents of the toys, there are also descriptions of the ingredients, origin and taste period of the candy on the food and play box. "Box play", also called "box egg", means no sugar.
In the early days, toys were presented by promotional gifts as candy. Later, toys gradually occupied the dominant position, but food became a foil. There are many kinds of toys to eat and play with, and there are many styles to choose from.
