The correct way to eat Pino!

Pino is a popular ice cream by Morinaga Milk in Japan. Pino is ice cream coated with chocolate on the outside. They say their is a golden ratio of chocolate to ice-cream to chocolate in Pino. Each Pino weighs 10g. The ice cream before the chocolate is added weighs 8g, and the chocolate weighs 2g. The golden ratio of ice cream to chocolate is 8:2 supposedly!

Did you know that there is a "correct" way to eat Pino. If you have had it before you know that each pack comes with a small blue tooth pick like instrument for picking up the ice-cream. But what you might not know is that at the back of each piece of Pino there is a small hole. You are supposed to turn the Pino over and put the tooth pick in that hole!

As you can see in the photo, there is a heart shape among the regular shaped Pino in this pack. The heart shapes (and there are star shapes too) are quite rare and it considered good luck if you find one in your pack of Pino. We have been very lucky this year; we found heart shapes in three different packets early in the summer!
