A Match Made in Anime and Snack Heaven!
Get ready, Mobile Suit Gundam fans and snack lovers! Nissin Cisco’s popular chocolate snack, Choco Flake, is officially teaming up with the legendary mech franchise for an epic collaboration. Taking inspiration from “zaku-zaku”—the Japanese sound effect for a satisfying crunch—the campaign naturally puts the Principality of Zeon’s iconic Zaku mobile suit right in the spotlight!
3 Times the Chocolate for Char Aznable!
The “Choco Flake x Mobile Suit Gundam: Crunchy Sortie!!” campaign will bring special limited-edition packaging to store shelves in Japan. A total of 9 distinct Zaku designs will be available across three popular product lines: Choco Flake Milk, Choco Flake Milk Tappuri Pack, and Crisp Choco.
In addition to the themed packaging, fans purchasing the products can enter a special lottery to win exclusive, ultra-rare Gundam goodies, including:
- Char-Custom 3x Chocolate Coated Choco Flake: Channeling the legendary Red Comet who moves “three times faster than a regular Zaku,” this ultra-rich version features three times the amount of chocolate coating compared to standard packs!
- Space Fortress Choco Flake Cushion: A massive plush cushion modeled after the Luna II asteroid base, which hilariously looks just like a giant cluster of chocolate flakes.
Campaign Details
The campaign is scheduled to launch across Japan on November 16, 2026. If you happen to be visiting Japan during the promotional window, be sure to hit up the local convenience stores and supermarkets to grab these awesome Zaku-themed snacks before they vanish into space!
