The limited edition Pocky Rose combines unique flavors and interactive experiences to engage young consumers.
Thai Glico Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of popular snacks including Pocky, Pretz, and Pejoy, has introduced a new limited edition product known as 'Pocky Rose.' This new flavor blends the sweet and tangy essence of rose and raspberry, coated on a light pink whole wheat biscuit.

The goal is to develop products that are not only delicious but also offer emotional value.
Pocky Rose is envisioned as a symbol of happiness, creating unique consumer experiences and moments for sharing with friends, family, and significant others.
In addition to its innovative flavor, Pocky Rose boasts unique packaging designed in six different styles under the concept of 'Exchange and Pair for Fun.' This design caters to collectors and consumers who enjoy the playful interchange of different designs.
Furthermore, the packaging includes space for personalized messages, adding emotional value and fostering relationships among consumers.
The retail price is set at 29 baht per box.
