Love Pollen #WeeklyShortShortNote

In March 20XX, that bizarre phenomenon occurred in J-Country in the Far East.
Men and women complaining of runny noses and itchy eyes, which at first glance seemed like hay fever, fell in love as if they had lost their sanity.

Those infected would kiss without caring about their runny noses. Strangely, this would then develop into a wonderful romance.
Because it looked so unsightly and posed public health issues, there were many voices of criticism, but there were also many people with a heavy constitution who sought dangerous love, so opinions within the country were divided.

In the midst of having no solutions for the problems of young people not marrying and the declining birthrate, the government showed a stance of tacitly approving this runny-nose kissing, but the WHO recommended travel restrictions to J-Country. The government, which caves in as soon as it is complained to, requested vaccine production from pharmaceutical companies around the world and promised to eradicate this symptom, which was named Love Pollen.

However.

A major confectionery company carried out secret product development.
They mixed a small amount of Love Pollen into a famous product that is popular in J-Country and overseas, and released it under the label of increased XX powder. The exquisite taste of love, with the saltiness of the runny nose, the real saltiness, and a slight sweetness and dashi, would go on to captivate the world.

This is fiction. It is unrelated to any real famous Happy Turn snack.

I participated in Tarahakani-san's weekly short-short project with this week's theme, 'Love Pollen'.

I love this song and music video by Macky, and I feel like I've used it in a previous work as well. Love is something you fall into. Whether it's dangerous or not, along with a runny nose.
