SEOUL, Sept. 14 (Korea Bizwire) — Convenience store chains have been releasing a string of extraordinary food items targeting those in their 20s and 30s who have a preference for new tastes.
GS25 is set to release ‘soda-fragrance hoppang’ at the end of this month. Hoppang is a Korean term referring to a convenience food version of jjinppang (steamed buns).
The soda-fragrance hoppang will be filled with a blue-colored semi-transparent custard cream within a white bread.
7-Eleven teamed up with Lotte Confectionery Co.’s chewing gum brands Juicy Fresh and Spearmint and released Juicy Fresh craft beer in March and Spearmint craft beer in June.
The craft beers contain the original fragrance solution used when making the chewing gum.
CU joined hands with noodle maker Paldo Co. to exclusively release Milk Ramen instant cup noodle in May.
This food item is created based on the idea that there are many people who pure milk into instant cup noodle. Included in this Milk Ramen are a normal ramen flavor packet and a special packet made of milk powder from Seoul Dairy Cooperative.
