Doraemon Is the Name of a Cartoon Cat, Not Candy

Share via

I noticed with interest a reference in the article by Leslee Komaiko (“Candy in Pithy Packaging,” Oct. 31) about Doraemon, the ultra-popular and well-loved robot cat in Asia. Children and adults of all ages in Asia are familiar with the lovable cat in his own cartoon. Doraemon is not the name of the candy mentioned but rather the label just like Batman gumdrops or Mickey Mouse ears. Doraemon, by the way, is a cat robot from the future that defies the laws of physics with his magical pocket from which anything can be retrieved and has done so for more than two decades.
