Morinaga Pringles

With the end of a contract and the sale of Pringles by Procter and Gamble to Kellogg, the handling of Pringles in Japan will move from Meiji to Morinaga as of January. This is part of Morinaga's strategy to expand their snack business by 2 to 3 times over 5 years.

Mister Donut Pork Ramen

This new addition to the Mister Donut San Francisco Chinatown lineup is ramen with added slices of marinated pork. Looks delicious, but probably has a much stronger taste than the rest of the lineup.
