Last week, we partnered with Wildcard Incubator to help Ahjikan test their new alternative chocolate product called Govoce.

Govoce is made from burdock root, a traditional Japanese vegetable that is high in dietary fibers, rich in antioxidants, and naturally caffeine free.

We hosted 6 demos in our stores, surveyed over 150 customers, and interviewed 5 industry experts including Rainforest Distribution

Overwhelming, customers shared with us that they were most excited about the health benefits, especially the high fiber.

has officially landed in stores 🔥🎉

joined our Accelerator back in 2017 with a "vegan pork rind." They learned quickly through our ecosystem that people loved the product once they tried it but "vegan" and "pork rind" was an intimidating combination. They repositioned towards the mindless munch, a delicious snack where you can: Eat the Whole Bag. Fast forward to today and you can find Snacklins in Whole Foods, MOMs Organic, and thousands of other retailers across the country.

Keep on snacking!

Have you picked up your Snacklins at CVS yet? Congrats to the team on their recent launch in CVS stores nationwide. 🔥
