Tap Chocosnack from Morinaga Candy Company.
Morinaga is one of Japan's largest snack and candy companies. In 1995 Morinaga made a chocolate bar named "TAP". It's a little biscuit with crushed peanuts, then covered with chocolate. When I first saw this snack in stores, I just knew it wouldn't be around long so I bought one and kept the box. I was right. This chocolate bar didn't last long and soon disappeared. Now I have a collector's item!
I have no idea why they chose to call this snack "TAP". Someone in the Morinaga marketing department thought the word "tap" sounded good, I guess. In the end it has nothing to do with tap dance, of course and it could just as easily have been called "hip hop" or "flamenco". Still, this snack box belongs in my Tap Museum collection.
