The Meiji Apollo Chocolate brand  is celebrating 45 years this year. This chocolate look umbrella shaped with the top half being strawberry chocolate and the bottom half milk chocolate. However, the shape and name are actually a result of the launch of Apollo 11 and the first trip to the moon in the same year. This remains a product found in almost every convenience store and supermarket in Japan. 明治 アポロ
