Since its launch in Japan in 1966, Pocky has maintained its core concept while gradually changing its packaging and formulation to meet the times and society. The new Pocky range will be launched in the Philippines on June 8 to suit the changing consumption scene and purchasing behavior in Southeast Asia. It will be available in major supermarkets and online stores such as LazMall and Shopee Mall.
Healthiness in Pocky with High-Fiber and Wholewheat
With growing health consciousness, more and more consumers are looking for healthier choices and more guilt-free products. In line with such willing, we add fiber into the pretzel of Pocky which offers more health benefits. We also add wholewheat into the pretzel which gives it a lighter and crispier texture.
The rich and smooth chocolate gives the right balance of sweetness while enhancing the unique aroma of the chocolate flavors by adjusting the ratio of cream to biscuit.
Design Attention
We’ve also made a few design changes to better convey the appeal of the natural ingredients. In the Share packs, the link to the package of the standard pack has been made stronger and easier to understand.
“The year 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of our Glico Group. In that year, we are pleased to celebrate the new re-staging of our flagship brand, Pocky.
We want to be a brand and a company that evolves together with society, while keeping our core unchanged. “More Happiness, More Goodness!” will be delivered to the Philippines.”
– Mr. Takashi Miki, Marketing Head, Glico Philippines, Inc.
The more you share, the more you enjoy this mess-free tasty snack! Please check it out.
In the past, many Filipinos put wellbeing and wellness on the back burner until major health concerns arose. But since the pandemic began, health has been thrust into the forefront, taking on a new importance for many.
Now more than ever, individuals are finding ways to live healthier lifestyles. Whether that means taking precautions against getting sick, eating wholesome and nutritious food, or managing a healthy weight.
A quick google search about healthy living and dieting will result in a ton of information that it can be hard to know what is accurate. Be wary of fad diets all over social media that promise quick and easy results. The truth is these quick fixes don’t work. What does work is a lifestyle change. It’s more sustainable too. Here are a few tips to make a healthy change to one’s lifestyle.
Munch on good snacks
Not all snacks are bad. Go for snacks that include protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Good snacks also help curb sugar cravings. In fact, snacking is beneficial when increasing intake of nutrient-rich foods for a burst of energy. Snacks that are good to have on hand are those that will keep the stomach full throughout the day. Consider the Macro Fruit Free Muesli Bar and Classic Fruit & Nut Muesli Bar for great sources of fiber.
Eat whole, organic food
Whole foods are those that have not been overly processed. They have many benefits because they are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that help keep the immune system and body strong. Try products that can be used in more ways than one such as Macro Tomato Garlic & Basil Chunky Pasta Sauce which can be used as a sauce for fish or chicken. Another versatile product is Macro Quick Oats which can be used in baking or to make a classic oatmeal recipe or overnight oats. These products promise more than just great taste, but also healthier alternatives to traditional ingredients.
Stock up on superfoods
Superfoods are those that are rich in antioxidants, good fat, and fiber. Instead of foods that are high in sugar, consider superfoods like Macro Turmeric Latte and Macro Black Chia Seeds. Turmeric helps lower inflammation levels in the body and reduces the risk of health problems. Chia seeds on the other hand are packed with antioxidants and fiber which can help lower high blood pressure and regulate the digestive system.
All Macro products are available in Shopwise, Robinsons Supermarket and The Marketplace Rustans branches nationwide. Woolworths products are also available via the GoCart website.

It’s been a little over a year since delivery-only online restaurant group MadEats launched. Now, MadEats ventures into the world of physical stores, starting with one of their most popular brands – Dot Coffee.
After delivering 1000 cups of coffee from only one ghost kitchen during its first week of operations, Dot Coffee has finally opened its very own kiosk in W City Center in Bonifacio Global City. The brand’s vision still remains, and it’s for it to be the #1 tech-enabled high-quality coffee brand for delivery and takeout in the Philippines. They are set to open more Dot Coffee kiosks all over the metro in the next few months.
Dot Coffee has since added more drinks to their ever-growing coffee lineup, including a Cuatro Leches Latte with a dairy-free equivalent. They also have new latte flavors like the Burnt Vanilla, Butterscotch, and Wake Me Up has four shots of espresso and a splash of milk.
For non-coffee drinkers, new options include a refreshing Creamy Ube Coconut, Salted Caramel Mocha, and more flavors for their line of Horchata drinks. And of course, sipping on drinks wouldn’t be complete without munching on some sweets. An exclusive at their W City Center branch, they have released layered dessert bars that come in three flavors — Black & White, a brownie and a blondie layer; a zesty Calamansi Cheesecake; and Peanute Butter Monkey Bar, a peanut butter brownie with a banana bread layer.
Customers will also be able to pick up their coffee and order for delivery via madeats.co, GrabFood, and foodpanda. Dot Coffee will also be launching an app so getting your coffee fix will be even easier.
Dot Coffee is located at W City Center, Bonifacio Global City. It is open daily from 7am to 8pm. Follow them on Facebook and on Instagram for exclusive offers and updates.
