Goldfish Pokémon crackers have been announced by Pepperidge Farm as a limited-edition take on the brand's signature fish-shaped snack that's inspired by the namesake anime franchise. The snack features the brand's classic cheese-flavored crackers in several shapes including the familiar goldfish, but also a squared-off Poke Ball and another inspired by Pikachu. The crackers thus have a fun profile for fans of the monstrous anime brand to enjoy as a new yet familiar snack product.
Goldfish Pokémon crackers come in the signature packet-style packaging as the original and will catch the attention of shoppers thanks to the animated branding on the front. The product is priced at $3.69 per packet and, while great for kids, is also expected to catch the attention of consumers who grew up in the 90s with a touch of nostalgia.
