"munch munch.... munch munch...."
You know, I never did figure out where the phrase "Munch-Munch" came from. I mean they call most food as munch-munch (anything sweet is refer to as "sweet-sweets") but they nothing to explain where the term came from in the first place. Was the sound of them chewing their food cause them to associate food with the phrase or were they actually saying the word(s) while eating? They're also the fact they do it so loudly in most content that rises my curiosity. Is the reason for it is because they can't shallow/digest their food without saying it out loud, an uncontrollable reflex, or is it simply a subconscious need to be annoying towards another organism (i.e humans). Maybe we should loudly "Munch Munch Happiness" in front of them just to see how they like it.
TL;DR: Yukkuri love using the term "munch munch" but why?

They have no budget to add the sound effects post-pro, so the yukkuri have to do it all by themselves. Same with the "sorori sorori" (slowly slowly, sliding sound) or "suya suya" (sleep sleep, actually sound effect for the deep breathing during sleep) or "suri suri" (rub rub, sound effects for the rubbing sound), etc.
Skribulous said: I think I recall it as "mutya-mutya".
"tya" and "cha" are the same sound in Japanese. "tya" is another (less elegant) way to romanize the kana ちゃ.
Usually it's "musha musha", though that's more of a soft, mushy sound. "mucha mucha" is a sound for firmer things.
The thing is, yukkuri basically take the Japanese tendency to use onomatopoeia (doubled, commonly) as if they were actual nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and then crank that tendency up to 11 - right past the point of total obnoxiousness.

"Munch munch.... Happinessh!" munching its mister food, Komarisa broke into tears of joy.
"munch munch.... munch munch...." The food paste being stirred in its mouth and then smoothly flowed into its tummy, Komarisa didn't hold back showing great happiness on its face.
"Happinessh! Eajy! Eajy! EAJY!"
