I totally thought the product image was AI and did not expect this to look that well

Edit: I bought this in a Korean convenience store. I just took a screenshot from a Japanese website because it was the first pic I found online.

All these comments about a law in Japan. Product description is in Japanese, pricing is in South Korean Won, packaging is in Korean?? Unless it’s a Japanese product packaged for the Korean market? But why is the description in Japanese, unless OP is Japanese living in Korea? 😅

I bought these in Korea, I just got the product  screenshot from a Japanese website apparently, because it was the first online pic I found.

These are sold in Korea! There are a bunch of different Pokémon popsicles for sale not just magicarp. The CU near me has like 3 or 4 different ones. I keep meaning to try them.

Yeah, and the actual package is literally just a cartoon anyway, so it wouldn't even follow the Japanese law there are 100 comments about.

tbf Product description also have Korean text, 잉어킹 소르베., and its transliteration in Japanese katakana インオキン ソルベ, which don’t make sense if it were read as Japanese.

Likely a japanese product considering it's pokemon after all. Or both countries might have similar product laws.
