Meiji, a Japanese food company and the manufacturer of 'Kinoko no Yama' (Mushroom Mountain), the original version of Choco Song-i launched by Orion in 1984, unveiled a project called 'Unbelievable Miscellaneous Goods' on its official Twitter account on the 14th.


The adorable wireless earphones, which closely resemble Choco Song-i, stimulate 'Deokshim' (a slang term referring to the 'heart' of a fan, derived from 'deokhu' meaning fan) not only with the main body but also with the case. The packaging of the case faithfully reproduces the actual Kinoko no Yama snack box. Inside the case, two cute Choco Song-i lie diagonally. The mushroom caps covered in chocolate serve as the speaker parts.


This product is only a virtual project by the food company and has not been officially released. However, due to its cute appearance, it has received explosive reactions not only in Japan but also in Korea, with numerous requests for its release.

However, some concerns have been raised that children might eat or swallow the earphones because they look exactly like the snack.


Since wireless earphones have become widespread, incidents of swallowing them have been frequent, and if they are shaped like Choco Song-i, children are more likely to mistake them for actual food, potentially increasing the number of accidents.


According to medical experts, wireless earphones may not cause significant harm if the device's battery is not directly exposed inside the body. However, if the battery is directly exposed within the body, it can cause burns to the esophagus or blood vessels, leading to dangerous situations.

Meiji revealed a total of four virtual products in the 'Unbelievable Miscellaneous Goods' project, including not only the Choco Song-i wireless earphones but also correction fluid in a milk carton-shaped case, chocolate-shaped stamps, and a handy fan product that looks like a spoonable ice cream.
