[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] CU announced on the 28th that it will release a large-capacity "Consomm? Flavor Sack Popcorn" with a human feed concept on the 29th.

The Consomm? Flavor Sack Popcorn measures 32cm in width, 43cm in height, and 14cm in depth, similar in size to a 10kg rice sack, and the content has been significantly increased from the existing 60g to 400g. This product will be sold as a special edition with a limited quantity of 90,000 units.

The packaging has also been changed from the existing plastic to thick paper packaging, resembling an actual rice sack. The design includes double stitching and product information, as well as handling precautions, capturing the rice sack design. A zipper bag has been applied for easy storage, matching the large-capacity concept.

Consomm? Flavor Popcorn, first launched in 2011, has recorded cumulative sales of 50 million units to date. It even surpassed Saewookkang, the strongest player in the snack market, to become the top in sales revenue, and has consistently ranked first in CU's exclusive snack sales for the past 10 years.

A BGF Retail official said, "To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Consomm? Flavor Popcorn, which led the revival of convenience store-exclusive snacks this year, we planned a large-capacity product incorporating the newtro trend. By reflecting changing consumer preferences and giving a fresh twist to a popular product, we expect to provide customers with new fun and satisfaction."
