Sturm Panzer - Chocolate mint is not toothpaste.
Chocomint is for the summer, and it's not toothpaste!
|
We who love ChocoMint are called "ChocoMin-Tou".
Every year, as the rainy season starts and the summer season begins, the ChocoMin-Tou eagerly awaits the release of ChocoMint ice cream and other sweets at convenience stores and supermarkets.
In 2022, Akagi Milk Industry's "Shin Garigari-kun Ultra Choco Mint," a collaboration with the movie "Shin Ultraman," is fresh in our memories. That was delicious. I had many bottles. It was lacto ice cream, but the refreshing feeling typical of Garigari-kun was perfect for chocolate mint. ChocoMin-Tou sometimes receives humiliating words from ordinary people without any malice.
"Doesn't ChocoMint taste like toothpaste?"
How many times have we heard these words? That word, which is a blasphemy to all chocominters, cannot be unheeded.
Chocomint tastes like chocomint, not toothpaste. On behalf of the ChocoMin-Tou nationwide, I insist on the substitution of the form of yo-yo.
Chocomint is not toothpaste.

This yo-yo is a summer-only product.
It will be available from May through the end of September.
It is rare for a full metal yo-yo to be sold for a limited time period, not quantity.
This model is a summer-only release by Sturm Panzer. The combination of the summery flavors: the summer-themed coloring and artwork, and the combination of the unique name "Choco Mint is not toothpaste" makes for a great piece of work.
Mr. Usuino, a leading expert in yo-yo mechanics, was in charge of designing the body. The theme of the design direction given to Mr. Usuino was "light, small, and a yo-yo that turns into ice cream when turned upside down." Pushing this theme to the extreme, it needed to be a round shape that could mimic a double scoop of chocolate mint ice cream when disassembled and stacked. The bearing is a size D, an unusual direction, which is typical for a Sturm Panzer yo-yo. It is undersized, small, and light, but has a core feeling that is strangely resistant to losing its angle.
The axle is a custom-made "CP-15 M3.5 Bose Hex Axel" with a special diameter. This improves strength and covers both the resistance to breakage and the durability of the bearing lock. In addition, it's made with holes for hex wrenches on both sides, making it easier to handle.
Manufacturer's Comments
- This product is a summer-only item.
- The bearings are CP-06 D9 ball bearings. Replacement is at your own risk.
- The response pad is CP-09 Blade Attack Pad (economy).
- The accelerator is CP-15 M3.5 Bose hex gas pedal. It can be removed with a commercially available M3 hex wrench.
- We ship the product with no problem of rotational shake, which is judged to be acceptable for use. It is coarser than our past monometal products.
- Small scratches, stains, uneven coloring, machining marks, etc. may occur during the manufacturing, assembly, and shipping processes, but these are product specifications.
