Crunchy-kun

Crunchy-kun (ガリガリ君, Garigari-kun) is the most popular brand of popsicle in Japan, and Sena Aoi’s favorite thing to eat, something she often has with her. It exists not just in the Science Adventure Series but in the real world, too, where it is called by its Japanese name Garigari-kun.
Crunchy-kun comes in many different flavors, but the most popular is soda flavor, which is blue. The core of a Crunchy-kun popsicle is made of shaved ice, with a thin outer layer of ice cream. Some Crunchy-kun popsicles are special, having popsicle sticks that say that you are a winner with which you can receive a free Crunchy-kun popsicle at any store that sells them.
So along with being a popular frozen confection, Crunchy-kun popsicles also function as a form of gambling, where if you are lucky, you win another one free, but you cannot find out whether you won a free popsicle or not unless you eat the popsicle you currently have, since the text is hidden underneath.
In a negative delusion in ChäoS;HEAd, a Crunchy-kun with the phrase “Whose eyes are those eyes?” engraved on its stick is found by Sena. Whether the phrase was only part of the delusion or whether such popsicle sticks do exist in Shibuya, is up for debate.
Sena is a traditionalist, sticking to the most popular blue Crunchy-kun popsicles that are soda flavor, instead of the other, newer flavors. She has a percentage rate of 13.7% for buying a winning popsicle.
