Frozen snack Papico’s decision to outsource the design of their new “Papiko” mascot and her resultant packaging to the denizens of Pixiv seems to have paid off, with some very cool designs now in shops.
Papico – Glico’s classic Japanese “ice cream” brand served in distinctive trademark tubes – turned the design of their packaging over to the denizens of Pixiv and the online voting masses, resulting in several particularly adorable contributions which were dutifully placed on the packaging and now grace freezers throughout the land:
The winning designs:
The distinguished losers:
Aside from the usual complaints from the weak that the new packaging is to embarrassing to be seen buying, most seem delightedly bemused by the new designs – the latest in a growing trend it would seem:

3DPD!
*Wipes sweat* Had me like.... WOW
Fuck, the first vid actually has a Filipina.
wow.
Thank you :D
KIMOCHI II ZE
If the shopkeeper isn't too embarrassed to sell them, I don't see why I would be too embarrassed to buy. If I ever manage to visit Japan, that is...
saw these in stores yesterday near my house lol really yummy
where the hell are you?
some guy will buy 10.000 and throw the icecream because he only wanted the envelope
Yah man the bottle is shaped like a fleshlight hand job device.
Looks like it is already full of seman.
So for us unenlightened barbarians, what is it? Ice cream made from frozen breast milk, or something?
frozen milk i think.
they do a pretty gross coffee version of this as well.. come with a daft ring pull on top that doesnt work..
this hairy barbarian no like.
I always buy onaholes with cute jap anime pictures and then jerk off to em.
I bought some papico and shoved that cold thing up my butt
LOL WTF?
Why can't ice cream trucks sell this? I'd buy many.
chris hansen can't even stop me from buying those young girls cum in a plastic bottle
>girls
I hate to break it to you pal, but I wouldn't trust anything with "Pico" in the name
"boku no papico"
Just bought all three
What the airwolf is a frozen snack?
Go to your local "supermarket" and ask where the "freezers" are that hold the sugary stuff.
Where is the usual 'you can preorder it here' link? :D
They'd have to pack in a lot of dry ice lol
>Too embarrassing to buy
Apparently someone either hasn't been living in Japan for very long. Everything has a mascot and I find more people will buy a product if they actually have a cutesy mascot on it rather than not.
Fail.
Everything has a mascot but it's typically not a loli...
We need more Ecoco

I'd see nothing wrong with buying these in Japan, just remove the packaging if you're embarrassed while outside, I don't see how you could be embarrassed to begin with, the Japanese love this cute shit, you'll be one of the crowd.
I buy cereal with retarded children cartoon characters and feel no shame about this.
10/10 would suck again
I would have no issues buying these at all :3
I'd have but that wouldn't stop me >_<!
what i would give up to live in a county where selling such ice cream and dairy products, i would go as far as saying i would give my up internet life style for it.
I immediately saw the Glico logo on the packaging which is the same company that makes Pocky. Any idea if Papico is imported to some extent?
This is ice cream?
looks like she's holding two dead rats in her hands
I would buy it
Your reaction when the losers look better than the winners.
the girl with the yellow boots had a gruesome accident with her foot, it seems .
I was going to comment on that myself. It's cropped from the official product though, so who cares? :P
Would it be that impossible to ship those without being frozen first?, or maybe buying those at the likes of Amazon/Ebay?
It looks like milk to me, if it is, it'd go stale quickly. However if its not milk, it would be simple to send via Ebay.
It could the the container is shaped like the bottle of a girls virgina.
I would like to see that child getting brutally raped and then her breasts cut off in cold slices.
Obviously.
