[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide confectionery that can improve interest. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing an example of a confectionery 10 according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] 1 is a diagram showing an example of a packaging body 20 that contains a confectionery 10. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a confectionery product representing one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] <Confectionery 10 in the embodiment> Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a confectionery 10 in an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a packaging body 20 that contains the confectionery 10.

[0011] As shown in Fig. 1, the confectionery 10 in this embodiment includes a first body portion 11, a second body portion 12, and a third body portion 13. The first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 are of multiple types (three types) of body portions. Specifically, the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 are different in color from one another.

[0012] The first body 11, the second body 12, and the third body 13 are, for example, gummies. Gummy candies are made of an elastic material primarily composed of gelatin, sugar, glucose syrup, etc., with fruit juice, flavorings, and colorings added, and are confectioneries with a springy texture. As an example, the first body 11 is a yellow gummie, the second body 12 is a red gummie, and the third body 13 is a blue gummie.

[0013] The color of the confectionery 10 may be the color of the entire confectionery 10, including the surface and the interior, or the color of only the surface. For example, the first main body portion 11 may be yellow, including the surface and the interior, or only the surface may be yellow and the interior may be a color other than yellow.

[0014] The packaging 20 shown in FIG. 2 is a bag-shaped package for protecting the confectionery 10 (gummy candy) and preventing external contamination and moisture. The packaging 20 is made of materials such as plastic film or aluminum foil. The packaging 20 is in the shape of a roughly rectangular bag, with cutouts 21 and 22 on both sides. Consumers can open the packaging 20 and remove the contents, the confectionery 10, by pulling the cutouts 21 and 22 with their hands. A first character 31, a second character 32, and a third character 33 are printed on the surface of the packaging 20.

[0015] In the example of Figures 1 and 2, the confectionery 10 packaged in the packaging body 20 includes three first body portions 11, three second body portions 12, and three third body portions 13. However, the numbers of first body portions 11, second body portions 12, and third body portions 13 in the confectionery 10 may differ from one another.

[0016] The first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 are configured so that, by combining multiple of these, the color of the tongue can be changed to a color different from the original color before being combined, when placed on a tongue containing saliva.

[0017] For example, when the red first body part 11 and the blue third body part 13 are placed together on the tongue and dissolved in saliva, they turn purple, and the purple color adheres to the tongue. When the red first body part 11 and the yellow second body part 12 are placed together on the tongue and dissolved in saliva, they turn orange, and the orange color adheres to the tongue. When the blue third body part 13 and the yellow second body part 12 are placed together on the tongue and dissolved in saliva, they turn green, and the green color adheres to the tongue. When the red first body part 11, the yellow second body part 12, and the blue third body part 13 are placed together on the tongue and dissolved in saliva, they turn brown, and the brown color adheres to the tongue.

[0018] In this way, by combining main body parts of different colors and placing them on the tongue, consumers can enjoy the change in color of their tongue, thereby increasing interest.

[0019] Note that the combination is not limited to one gummy of each color. For example, when one red first body portion 11 and two blue third body portions 13 are placed on the tongue together and dissolved in saliva, the color changes to a bluish blue-purple, and the blue-purple color adheres to the tongue, compared to when one red first body portion 11 and one blue third body portion 13 are placed on the tongue together and dissolved in saliva. In this way, confectionery 10 may be configured so that the intensity of the color after the change varies depending on the number of the same type of gummy candy in the combination.

[0020] Furthermore, the confectionery 10 is designed so that the color that is applied to the tongue disappears after a certain period of time, allowing consumers to enjoy the temporary change in tongue color, which then naturally returns to its original state, allowing them to enjoy the treat with peace of mind.

[0021] For example, a water-soluble coloring is used as the coloring of the confectionery 10. In this case, the coloring of the confectionery 10 adheres to the tongue when it comes into contact with saliva, but is gradually washed away by the saliva, and the color on the tongue disappears after a certain time (about 30 minutes) has passed. Alternatively, an enzyme that reacts with components in saliva and is broken down is used as the coloring of the confectionery 10. In this case, the coloring of the confectionery 10 adheres to the tongue when it comes into contact with saliva, but is gradually washed away by the saliva, and the color on the tongue disappears after a certain time (about 30 minutes) has passed.

[0022] The confectionery 10 may also have a flavor corresponding to the color formed thereon. This allows consumers to enjoy the matching of the color and flavor of the confectionery 10, providing visual and taste enjoyment. For example, the flavors associated with the colors may be lemon-flavored for the yellow first body portion 11, cola-flavored for the red second body portion 12, and soda-flavored for the blue third body portion 13. The flavor of the confectionery 10 may be set using, for example, flavor oil, fruit juice, extract, synthetic flavoring, powdered flavor, etc.

[0023] Furthermore, the confectionery 10 may be configured so that the degree of color adhesion to the tongue varies depending on the type (color) of the main body portion. For example, because red is similar to the color of the tongue, it is difficult to see even when it adheres to the tongue. For this reason, the red second main body portion 12 may be configured to adhere more strongly to the tongue than the yellow first main body portion 11 or the blue third main body portion 13. This prevents the color from being difficult to see depending on the color, and provides consumers with visual and taste enjoyment. The degree of color adhesion to the tongue can be set, for example, by adjusting the concentration of the coloring matter used in the confectionery 10, the type of coloring matter used in the confectionery 10, the particle size of the coloring matter used in the confectionery 10, etc.

[0024] Furthermore, the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 have the same shape. This allows consumers to easily distinguish and enjoy the body portions with different colors and flavors. The same shape means, for example, that the design shapes are almost the same.

[0025] Furthermore, the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 have different patterns formed thereon. For example, a smiling character pattern is formed on the surface of the first body portion 11. A sad character pattern is formed on the surface of the second body portion 12. For example, a sad character pattern is formed on the surface of the third body portion 13. For example, the characters on the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 are the first character 31, the second character 32, and the third character 33 displayed on the package 20, respectively. This increases the consumer's visual enjoyment and allows them to enjoy the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 more individually.

[0026] Furthermore, the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 may be formed to have different elasticities, allowing consumers to enjoy different textures. The elasticity can be set, for example, by the type and concentration of the gelling agent (gelatin, pectin, agar, konjac flour, etc.) used in the confectionery 10.

[0027] Additionally, the first body portion 11, the second body portion 12, and the third body portion 13 may be formed to have the same weight, allowing consumers to enjoy each body portion equally. This also simplifies the manufacturing process and facilitates quality control, as packaging becomes more efficient and product uniformity is maintained.

[0028] Furthermore, as described above, confectionery 10 is configured so that the color applied to the tongue disappears after a certain period of time has passed. Therefore, confectionery 10 is configured so that the tongue can change to a color different from that of one of the main bodies of confectionery 10, provided that another main body of confectionery 10 is placed on the tongue within a certain period of time after the other main body of confectionery 10 is placed on the tongue. This allows consumers to enjoy the gradual color change.
