“Apollo” was released in 1969 from a manufacturer Meiji. It was the same year as the spaceship Apollo#11 landed on the moon. They must have been inspired this news and named this chocolate product “Apollo”.

“Apollo” is one of their long-seller products. I am also the one I have enjoyed it since I was a very little child.
This one is a special version of “Apollo” for its 50th anniversary!
