CU is releasing an ‘Ice Mango Cup’ containing about 150g of frozen mango pieces. This product allows easy consumption of the A·Mang·Chu (iced tea with added mango) beverage. When purchasing this product, customers receive a ‘Delafee Peach Iced Tea’ as a gift. Instead of preparing mango and iced tea separately, customers can simply add iced tea to the Ice Mango Cup at their nearby convenience store and immediately enjoy the A·Mang·Chu drink.

A·Mang·Chu gained popularity starting from a post on a social networking service (SNS) in May that suggested replacing ice with frozen mango in iced tea. According to the trend analysis site SomeTrend, the term ‘A·Mang·Chu’ was mentioned over 2,000 times on blogs last month alone. CU’s A·Mang·Chu beverage consists only of iced tea and frozen mango without ice, resulting in a richer taste and lower price compared to similar products from other beverage franchises that include ice. CU plans to expand customer choices by adding various flavors such as cherry and pineapple in the future.

Emart24 Wins Special Award at Gimbap Festa... Launches New 'Tot Gimbap'

Emart24 is introducing ‘Japchae Tot Gimbap’ based on the recipe of ‘Shinan Popeye Tot Gimbap,’ which won a special award at the Shinan-gun World Gimbap Festa last April. This product faithfully reproduces the award-winning recipe to allow customers to enjoy the subtle aroma of tot. It contains dried tot and pork mixed rice topped with glass noodles, cabbage, spinach, and other ingredients.

Tot, known as the ‘elixir of the sea,’ is an ingredient abundant near Shinan in Jeollanam-do. By utilizing tot, a representative ingredient of Shinan, Emart24 expects to attract customers’ attention with a differentiated gimbap product rarely seen in convenience stores. Additionally, since this menu was introduced at a local festival, the nationwide sale of Japchae Tot Gimbap at Emart24 stores is expected to further promote Shinan-gun’s specialty products and cultural festivals.
