Do you know TakenokoKinoko war?

1979 , Takenokonosato was established from Meiji Seika . For over four years , it was Kinokonoyama that had dominated the majority of the living room by chocolate secessionist , but deprived of all his territory to the chocolate mixture Social Takenokonosato is listed . Kinokonoyama camp that the crisis this criticism and market Takenokonosato invaded the camp . Campatin of Kinoko supremacy , but it Takenokonosato strong rebound . Not able to hand over the claim in both cases , Kinoko Takenoko war broke out here .

Meiji Seika is the sponsor of both factions concerned about this situation , was established Suginoko village of only 1987 in a hurry . However , this village of cedar that was to a symbol of peace , to function as a buffer area , disappear from the map of history by the intense battle of Kinoko Takenoko both sides ironically . Peace treaty is returned to the white paper , since this incident , Meiji Seika is there to support from behind both factions as a " merchant of confectionery " literally . This village too has turned into a deserted village at present , but the legend and be resurrected once in several years that are left .

Against the background of the investment of Meiji Seika , Kinokonoyama camp invasion into the living room merged with limited product of more than 20 . Takenoko camp should receive the same investment of Meiji Seika could not be developed very little limited product , but against the Kinoko camp by taking in a number of young people . Various theories are discussed in this gap , the theory to be the policy of Meiji Seika, which takes into account the feelings war weariness of the living room is a leading . But on the other hand , Meiji Seika has made ​​several times a campaign that compete for sales of Kinoko , Takenoko shoots both confectionery , it is to demonstrate the pre-eminent as a merchant of confectionery .

In this war , much blood has flowed together Kinoko , Takenoko camp . Although it exclusively through the nose .

Civil war is still followed today in the 21st century that are older than the '30 war , there is no sign of convergence . Because under the umbrella of the Meiji both both factions , those that criticism as a commercial war this is also , many , factionalism is serious enough to get ahead in the company is determined by whether put enrolled in either Kinoko camp , Takenoko shoots faction in-house has turned into . The military intervention of other confectionery company many , the war situation is even stray .

In this battle , are there any end .

  1. I prefer Kinoko because they taste more like Pocky. Takenoko taste more like Koala no march. There's an extra hint of taste to the chocolate, that doesn't feel too natural IMHO.
