The RageCandyBar is based on the Japanese {{wp|manjū}}, a type of pounded rice cake. Manjū are sold in Japan as confectionery, and are often unique to certain locales (much as the RageCandyBar is to Mahogany Town). A direct translation would thus prove confusing for English-speaking players, providing reasoning behind naming it as a candy bar. Its in-bag sprite depicts it in a small box, which could pass for a candy bar wrapper, preventing revelation of the translation issue. | The RageCandyBar is based on the Japanese {{wp|manjū}}, a type of pounded rice cake.
