Confectionery with a message piece of paper

Abstract

To provide confectionery with an original message piece for each seller (store). [Solution] In conventional fortune cookies, the message paper strips 10 are made first and then the confectionery (cookies) are baked, but in this invention, a batch of confectionery (cookies) with gaps 22 into which the paper strips can be inserted is made first, and then the message paper strips are made and inserted into the confectionery (cookies). This makes it possible to make message paper strips in quantities of several tens, so by inserting message paper strips into the required number of confectionery (cookies) as needed, it is possible to produce confectionery (20) with that number of message paper strips.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to confectionery having a message strip. [Background technology]

[0002] Since the end of the 19th century, a sweet, crispy, thin cookie called a fortune cookie has been made, with a small piece of paper inside. On the piece of paper is written a message such as fortune, proverb, or advice. Because the piece of paper with the message is inside the cookie, you cannot see the message until you break the cookie, and this excitement and thrill has made them popular.

[0003] To make fortune cookies, a piece of paper with a message written on it is first made in advance, the cookies are then baked, and the newly baked message is wrapped in the soft cookie dough.When the cookie dough cools, it hardens and the message is sealed inside the cookie.

[0004] Fortune cookie production has been mechanized; for example, a manufacturing machine such as that shown in Patent Document 1 has been developed, which allows large quantities of fortune cookies to be produced at one time. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 51-007172 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the case of conventional fortune cookies, the cookie dough needs to be wrapped in pieces of paper while it is still soft, and then shaped, so the production lot of fortune cookies means the lot of the cookie production. In commercial cookie production, at least tens of kilograms of cookies are often produced, and thousands of fortune cookies are produced at one time. With this conventional production method, the minimum production lot is several thousand cookies, so it is difficult to produce small quantities of fortune cookies of about several hundred cookies with original content for each seller (store). It is possible to produce several hundred cookies at once for several dozen orders, but it is not possible to produce them until multiple orders have accumulated to the extent that a cookie production lot is reached, and this lengthens the period from when demand occurs to when the fortune cookies are completed. In addition, since the produced fortune cookies have a best-before date and a limited period of use, there is a high risk that the thousands of fortune cookies produced will not be consumed within the deadline and will be discarded. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In conventional methods, message pieces are made first and then the sweets (cookies) are baked, but in this invention, sweets (cookies) with gaps into which the pieces can be inserted are made in advance, and then the message pieces are made and inserted into the sweets (cookies). Message pieces can be made in dozens, so message pieces can be inserted into as many sweets (cookies) as needed, and that number of sweets with message pieces can be produced.

[0008] The invention relates to a confectionery product having a message strip, the confectionery product having a cavity into which a strip of paper having a message can be inserted, the message strip being inserted into the cavity of the confectionery product after the confectionery product is manufactured.

[0009] In one invention, the message strip is made of paper that does not contain fluorescent dyes, and the message is written in ink made from food additives.

[0010] In another embodiment, the confection is a rolled cookie having a message strip, the cavity of which is a cavity formed by the rolled cookie.

[0011] Another idea is a confectionery that has a message slip on it, the message being a fortune slip. Effect of the Invention

[0012] As described above, this invention allows message pieces to be inserted into the required number of sweets as needed, and makes it possible to produce just that number of sweets with message pieces. This makes it possible for each seller (store) to produce original pieces of paper with messages such as fortune, lucky colors, advice, lottery tickets, etc., making it possible to provide small quantities of sweets with original message pieces for each seller (store). If sweets are produced in bulk and stocked in advance, only the production and packaging of message pieces is required after an order is placed, and the product can be shipped, shortening the time from order to delivery. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] 1 is a conceptual diagram of a confectionery product having a message strip according to the present invention; [Diagram 2] An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to roll cookies will be described. [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional fortune cookie. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] First, the manufacturing process of fortune cookies, which are generally known as confectioneries with conventional messages, will be described. As shown in Figure 3, first, a piece of paper with a message written on it is made in advance, and then the cookies are baked. The pre-made piece of paper with the message is wrapped in the just-baked, still soft cookie dough, and shaped while the cookie dough is still hot. When the cookie dough cools, the shape hardens and the piece of paper with the message is sealed inside the cookie. When eating the fortune cookie, the fortune cookie is broken and the piece of paper with the message is taken out.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, the confectionery 20 with message paper of this invention is composed of the message paper 10 and the confectionery body 21 having a gap 22 into which the message paper 10 can be inserted. In this invention, first the confectionery body 21 with the gap 22 into which the message paper 10 can be inserted is manufactured, and then the message paper 10 is inserted into the gap 22. The shape, size, etc. of the gap 22 can be any size as long as the message paper 10 can be inserted.

[0017] This allows the candy bodies 21 to be produced in large quantities at one time in a factory or the like and distributed wholesale to each seller (store), and each seller (store) can produce candy with original message paper strips by creating original message paper strips for that seller (store).

[0018] Ordinary copy paper often contains fluorescent dyes, but fluorescent dyes do not comply with the Food Sanitation Act and are therefore unsuitable for use on the pieces of paper to be placed in confectionery 20 having message paper 10. Furthermore, regular industrial inks are also unsuitable for printing on the pieces of paper to be placed in confectionery 20 having message paper 10. It is therefore desirable to use paper that does not contain fluorescent dyes and ink made from food additives that comply with the Food Sanitation Act. This makes it possible to produce confectionery 20 having message paper that is safe even if it is accidentally ingested. EXAMPLES

[0019] An example of application of the present invention to a roll cookie 201 will be shown below as an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, this embodiment is a roll cookie (cylindrical cookie) 211 having a message piece of paper 10 and a gap 221 for accommodating the message piece of paper 10. First, the roll cookies 211 are manufactured in a cookie production lot. After that, as required (ordered), pieces of paper with original content are produced for each seller (store), the pieces of paper are rolled into a cylindrical shape and inserted into the gap 221 of the roll cookie 211, and then individually wrapped in film 300, and the confectionery 201 having the message piece of paper 10 can be produced. [Industrial Applicability]

[0020] With conventional manufacturing methods, the minimum production lot was several thousand pieces, making it impossible to produce sweets with messages containing original content for each seller (store). However, with this invention, the candy bodies 21 can be produced in large quantities at a factory or the like, and then distributed to each seller (store) in small quantities of around a few hundred pieces, and each seller (store) can then insert a piece of paper with a message to produce sweets with messages.
