Annals of international food marketing: Chinese Cocoa Bears?
I was in Beijing a couple of weeks ago and did a supermarket tour.
Here’s my favorite souvenir:

Nestlé (no relation) markets to children, apparently.
I regret being unable to read the nutrition information, but this looks like a standard sugary breakfast cereal, chocolate-flavored.
I’m told this would be considered a snack food, not a breakfast food.
Translation, anyone?
