The Meiji Corporation is expected to report a sharp rise in sales for the third quarter. Although the confectionary firm has dozens of products on the market, an anonymous source within the company credits increased sales of mushroom-shaped cookies with the unanticipated profits. Further, most of the sales have occurred in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture.
"Since the middle of July our distributors on the Miura Peninsula - primarily grocery and convenience stores - have been restocking their cookie shelves hourly to keep up with the incredible demand. Meiji responded to this opportunity by test-marketing a new flavor in early September. The response to choco-banana has exceeded our expectations by a wide margin, particularly in Yokosuka City where a middle-aged American woman has been spotted giving our cookies to security guards stationed at the entrances to the U.S. Navy base."
