Following the success of its 'Electric Tropica' series, Kanro Puré has just brought back its classic lemon flavor for its new Pikachu Gummies series.
The new Pikachu Gummies series sees Puré’s original lemon flavor transformed into the shape of miniature Pikachu characters. There are eight collectible versions of the packaging, and each features a different black and yellow design. The series is also characterized by a contest that allows fans the chance to win an exclusive cushion or blanket designed to look just like the gummy packaging. To enter the contest, fans need to collect five gummy receipts to earn one entry. These receipts can be uploaded to the company’s LINE account.
The Pikachu Gummies series is currently available from Japanese 7-Eleven locations.
