Get Ready to Take a Dip
Summer is near. That can only mean two things:
I’ve started panic buying Gatsby Cool wipes
Cold noodles have arrived at the conbini
Let’s take a look at the refreshing dishes hitting the conbini next week.
Lawson
FamilyMart
7-11
Ministop
Visit Okinawa at Lawson
There have been a couple Okinawa-themed campaigns at the conbini this past month. Lawson continues the trend. They’re serving up a spam onigiri and two flavors of Blue Seal Ice Cream. Of course, that’s the brand native to Okinawa. They’ve got Acerola Shikuwasa (whatever that is) and a Sweet Potato/Brown Sugar hybrid.
Canned Coffee News
The haters won’t like this. But Starbucks appears to have licensed their brand to 7-11 to dish out cheap 120 yen canned coffee. They come in flavors like ‘Comfy’ and ‘Roasty’. The former has milk and sugar, while the latter has milk and less sugar.
They both sound perfect.
Pocky
Because canned coffee triggers some of our fans, here are some new Pocky flavors coming out at 7-11.
Pineapple and Mango Sauce Sandwich
From the Dumpster
That wraps this week’s newsletter. We’ll be back next Saturday to prepare you for the following week’s new items.
