Fiona Drenttel has begun a tasty set of dispatches, starting in Hong Kong, with a great series on candy packaging, language, and meaning. Our favorite so far is "Candy Packaging No. 2" abovea kind of BlueMan-meets-Ursulabut the copy is the best: "Yippee! I'm on a candy product!" exclaimed the man. "Now I'm famous!"
Keep 'em coming Fiona! (View all WinterhouseWorldTour posts at the tour site.)

This may have been bought in Hong Kong, but it's a Japanese product (all three of the products shown on the linked page are Japanese).
The name (Shigekikkusu) is a portmanteau of the Japanese word "shigeki" (stimulus) and "kicks".
The text in the top right says "contains grape sugar and vitamin C".
