Pokémon has teamed up with🐲 Nestlé and released cartons of milk featuring your favorite monsters, but only for fans living in Taiwan.
Pokémon has been labeled as the most affluent franchise of all time. Since its inception during the mid-90s, Pokémon has made almost $100 billion. In fact, considering it has bee🔯n a few years since the numbers were tallied, chances are Pokémon has surpassed that almost unfathomable number at this point. One of the reasons for that is Pokémon lending its name to just about anything.
Yes, there are the video games and trading cards from which the franchise makes a lot of its money, but there are also soft toys, clothing, and more food products than a hungry fan can shake a fork at. Pop-Tarts, bubblegum, marshmallow🔯s, and lollipops have all been subject to Pokémon branding at some point or another in the past two and a half decades.
Milk aimed at children can now be added to that list. As reported by NintendoSoup, Pokémon has collaborated with Nestlé to release some special edition cartons of Klim Super📖Kid 🍷Milk. As can be seen in the advert for the new cartons below, the designs will feature the likes of Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff, and Charmander. No love for any Pokémon beyond Gen I, though.
Klim Superkid Milk cartons complete with Pokémon mascots are available now, but unfortunately for milk-loving trainers around the world, it is only available in Taiwan. As far as other food and drink to have been🐬 endorsed by Pokémon, as highlighted above, milk is not the first. Nor is it the weirdest, not by a long shot. Pokémon has lent its name and its likenesses to some bizarre foodstuffs in the past.
Some of the stranger foods to have sported Pokémon's name include fried rice seasoning, mac and cheese, wonton soup, and a curry sauce that was sold in conjunction with the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. We don't know about the rest of the trainers reading this who played those games, but nothing made us want to play Diamond and Pearl quite like a packet of curry sauce.
