Strike One is expanding its licensed beverage range with four One Piece canned drinks, each sold with a collectible token placed in the can's base for fans to trade or keep. The Chilean brand makes these simple carbonated soft drinks rather than another functional line, setting them apart from its earlier tie-ins.
The token set spans 30 designs, giving buyers a reason to pick up more than one can even after they have seen the four character wrappers. Nami's Tormenta Naranja, the only sugar-free and lower-calorie flavor, gives the lineup one lighter choice.
The range is reaching retailers in Chile, where a collectible under every can turns licensed soda into a small trading format instead of a one-time novelty buy. That gives Strike One a repeat-purchase hook that could suit other entertainment tie-ins as well.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Embedded Collectibles
- Physical tokens hidden within everyday products transform routine purchases into repeatable discovery experiences with stronger fan engagement potential.
- Licensed Beverage Drops
- Entertainment properties entering simple refreshment formats create accessible merchandise channels that sit between consumables and fandom goods.
- Trading-driven Packaging
- Collectible sets tied to packaging mechanics extend product lifecycles by encouraging completion behavior beyond flavor or design variety.
Sectors Adopting This
- Soft Drinks
- Carbonated beverages gain new differentiation when collectible mechanics add emotional value to otherwise familiar flavor propositions.
- Anime Merchandising
- Fan-focused merchandise expands into grocery aisles as consumable formats make character IP more frequent and affordable to collect.
- Retail Promotions
- In-pack collectibles offer retailers a traffic-building tool that blends impulse purchases with scarcity, fandom, and repeat visits.
