On the 4th, a post saying “Live insects were found in Tirol chocolate” was spread on x. In response to this incident, Tirol Chocolate’s official x account contacted the poster via DM to confirm, reporting, “It has been confirmed that the claim that the item was recently purchased was a misunderstanding, and that the item had not been stored properly at home.” It all started when a user opened a light blue package of Tirol Chocolate and posted a video showing live insects moving around inside. In response to this incident, Tirol Choco’s official x account contacted the poster via DM to confirm. “The photo in the post appears to be of a seasonal product that is released every year, but this year’s release is in two weeks, so we suspect it is a product that was released last year or earlier,” he pointed out. They then apologized, saying, “We are very sorry for causing discomfort and anxiety to the poster and everyone else.” Afterwards, Tirol Choco released a statement saying, “Regarding the post on x yesterday about finding insects inside Tirol, we have received apologies from the poster’s family and the person himself. “We have confirmed that the fact that the item was recently purchased was a misconception, and that it had not been stored properly at home.” “We have received apologies from the family and the person in question, so we would ask that you refrain from making comments or making inquiries to the poster,” they said.

>>1 This guy is a train photographer, so I think the whole nation would be happy with a smile even if the sentence was 10% higher. The only people who are happy about the existence of train photographers are leftist activists (the person in question is a resident of Japan) who want to destroy Japan’s infrastructure.
But even if he does say “No, it was a misunderstanding, tehe,” wouldn’t that be a massive blow to Tirol? It’s not going to be like, “Alright, let’s eat Tirol!” I don’t think…
I have some unopened strawberry flavored almond chocolate from a year and a half ago at home. I wonder if it has bugs in it too? I didn’t want to eat the last one so I left it for too long.
I haven’t had any chocolate lately. Maybe I should buy some Ghana chocolate on the way home. But why Ghana? Maybe it’s because they make chocolate with Ghanaian cocoa beans? No way, haha.
When I first posted about Tirol, I was like, “Oh, it’s a seasonal product and it hasn’t been released yet this year, huh?” and I really felt that I wasn’t going to let it go.
There’s nothing wrong with Tirol, but does it end up with caterpillars? I’m the kind of person who doesn’t care about expiration dates, so this shocked me.
>>38 If you live in a sterile room, it’s the manufacturer’s fault. If it’s a caterpillar, as you’d expect, it’s in every household. It can easily tear through packaging.
Even though I had never even thought about Tirol, let alone chocolate, it occurred to me that I hadn’t eaten any chocolate recently, so I guess the advertising was effective and there was nothing wrong with it.
