"Bigger Means Tastier"... CU Launches 'Ttungdog' Featuring Giant Sausage

'Daedaeikseon', 'Geogeoikseon' Trends
Actively Developing Large-Capacity, Cost-Effective Products

CU announced on the 10th that it has launched two types of Giant Hot Dogs featuring large sausages.

The new Giant Hot Dogs weigh 200g each, making them 2.5 times larger than regular hot dogs, which weigh about 80g. The sausage alone weighs 130g. The sausage contains more than 89% domestic pork. Customers can enjoy two flavors: Original and Cheese, with cheese pieces embedded between the sausage.

CU continues to offer cost-effective products with significantly increased size and volume to help customers shop economically. Since its debut in 2014, the Giant series has established itself as CU’s signature differentiated product line, boasting oversized portions and reasonable prices. As of February this year, cumulative sales have reached 80 million units.

Recently, the ‘Super Large King’ triangular kimbap, which packs four triangular kimbaps into one large triangular container, sold over 5,000 units within a day of its release. By the third day, cumulative sales reached 20,000 units, showing strong sales performance.

Kim Bae-geun, head of BGF Retail’s HMR team, said, “With ongoing high inflation, the retail and food industries are seeing a trend toward ‘the bigger, the better,’ and CU is actively developing value-for-money products to meet this demand. We will continue to strive to establish convenience stores as shopping channels that support consumers’ rational spending.”
