DGS #145 revealed some new information about Dear Girl Sandā, the collaboration between DGS and Yuraku’s Black Thunder snack line.

The flavor will be “Hatsukoi no Aji – Shio Choco” (First-love Flavor – Chocolate Salt). You can start buying them March 8th at convenience stores in the Kantou and Kansai regions, certain Animate stores, Chou! A&G Shop, and through mail order online (box purchases only). They will retail for 30 yen each, the same price as normal Black Thunder. The main catchphrase for the product is “Dear na girl ni dai hit chuu! Oishisa handsome kyuu” (Currently popular with dear girls! Handsome-grade deliciousness). There will be 35 (!) different package designs so some of the catchphrases on the other packages will be different.

Shio choco… Sounds yummy!
