Hello Panda is a super popular brand of Japanese biscuits. They are made by a company called Meiji Seika. These yummy treats first came out in Japan way back in 1979. Each Hello Panda biscuit has a crunchy, hollow outer layer. This layer is made of a type of cookie called shortbread. Inside, the biscuit is filled with a creamy, delicious filling that comes in many flavors.
What makes Hello Panda special are the cute pictures on them! Many biscuits have cartoon drawings of giant pandas. These pandas are shown doing all sorts of fun activities. You might see them playing sports like fencing or archery. In the United States, the pandas on the biscuits often show activities like basketball, hockey, and baseball.
