Not content with canned, cartoned, iced and hot, Japan’s latest coffee innovation looks to be moe – top Japanese brand Yukiin is celebrating its 50th anniversary with, of all things, a series of Pixiv-designed “Yukico-tan” moe cartons, and some of the entries are certainly looking more tasteful than the liquid they purport to represent…
6 of the 6843 entries solicited will feature on as actual 500ml carton designs, to be sold nationwide from late July to late August.
The designs have been hailed as “unbuyable by commoners” and “creepy” by less tolerant bean-suckers – although even amongst those who appreciate the designs a certain eclecticism has been commented upon:
Public voting will decide which becomes the official Yukico-tan – although it is hard to see Megmilk overlooking what might be suspected to be a cunning insertion by its own marketing department…

Little brown girls are the best!
I agree. Wow the comments aren't as racist as I predicted they would be before clicking. Guess most of the fox news republicans are too busy ranting about obama on yahoo news.
Nah, Obama's old news.
Now people are bitchin' about some kid named Martin.
Go little brown girls
Racist! How dare you touch dark people?! Once you touch someone dark you'll be imprisoned for racism! Only white people should be touched by white people!
....
.....
......
or not^^ Just don't touch real 3D children, that'll get you in big shit. Colour doesn't matter :D

That ia a quote... (_ _")
I'd hunt all 6 of them. And I don't even like coffee...
Moe power must not be underestimated.
I would lol at the mexican
Came to every last entry.
EVERY.

Yuckio-tan

Cute woman ... positioned as if she's shitting into the coffeepot.... that's gonna turn off way more people than it turns on.
I think it was just your mind that went down that path...

500ml ^_^
Itadakimasu!
So wait just a dang minute, white girls have milk in their beasts and dark girls have coffee? Woh!
And tanlined ones have coffee milk. Seems legit.
I want strawberry juice from pink nipple..
Redheads=Strawberry
cuz strawberries are orange lol yeah
no
My choice would be either kimono-girl or horn-girl, the others I don't like...
"Unbuyable", just wow... is it really so "embarrassing" to drink a product with drawn 2D moe girls on it? It's not even that people draw them on themselves... the company did it.. and this seems to be a well-known product... and those 2D girls aren't even naked or in "embarrassing" positions...
This is one thing I truly don't like about Japanese... everything is "embarrassing". It's not like they are walking around naked in public or have to tell intimate details or childhood stories about their failures. Just duh -_-
The people who find it "embarrassing" are the same people who vote for Ishihara, think that anime are destroying Japan's morals, supported WWII and think that foreigners (especially Koreans and Chinese) are the source of all evil in Japan.
Anime=sex, deal with it
Sir, you are clearly a weeaboo who doesn't know anything about Japan.

To be more exactly, they only choose 6 pics for the product dude =="
And all of them are just cute girl, with polite poses; They are form 4th too 9th pics. The other 200 pics were chosen will be in the artbook only.
And I think those 6 pics is just like the Dutch girl on Dutch Lady product, nothing embarrassing at all.
And when ya say everything is weird... well you dun know a bit of Japan at all =)). Come to Japan before saying that dude =)). I swear Japan is normal. Just don't go to some special places like the Paradise of Otaku Akiba or some soapland and conclude the Japanese are EMBARRASSING. It's just like you come to some France's rathood then go to the conclusion French people are all Violent people =)).
>megamilk
Some of these designs suffer from major suckage. I like the one at the start of the article, though.
If you can't sell quality, sell sex appeal I guess...
One of them looks like Miku... HOLY FUCK! WTF A MEXICAN!?
Does Mexican Miku go to Japan and get impregnated by Japanese men?
#32... is that redjuice?
I think they should just use most of em, and keep changing worse selling models for better ones... unless they're going akb style and include voting tickets with milk.
how moo~wai
I like the Oktobrrfest version
Oktoberfest for the win!
I keep reading it as 'Megamilk'...I wonder what the carton would have been like if 'titty monster' had entered.
Bunnygirl looks really well done as well although she might be more suitable for a white russian.
Gotta catch them all!!
mmm dark skin anime girls. So rare so exotic so sexy.
Hands down, #17 should have won outright.
#6 seems like a weak bootleg attempt of Masamune's "Wild Wet West" set. Just sayin'
The company's name is Yukijirushi, not Yukiin, by the way.
Well except for that last one it's all super-epic-moe, and cow girls which I adore. Gotta get me some java.
I'd actually collect a carton or 2 if it had some of these drawings on it. Marketing here in Canada is boring as fuck.
Dat last pic...
What the fuck Mr. Potato is doing there. 0_0
