Pick up your child — or dad — this Father’s Day for a free Pocky!
MANILA, Philippines, (June 8, 2022) – Bond with dad this Father’s Day with the Pocky X PICKUP COFFEE #PickMeUpChallenge.

About Glico
On February 11, 2022, the Glico Group celebrated the 100th year of its founding. In 1922, Glico’s nutritious Glico caramel in its distinctive red box first hit the shelves of a department store. Headquartered in Japan, Glico has since expanded into Asia Pacific, European, and North American markets with the aspiration to stay true to its founding spirit of enhancing people’s health through food.
Led by its well-loved confectionary brands such as Pocky, Pretz, and Pejoy, Glico has now expanded its portfolio* to include ice cream products, baby formula, milk products, desserts, food ingredients, and raw materials for cosmetic and health products. Its health and wellness offerings such as the SUNAO range of zero sucrose, low carbohydrate food products and Almond Koka almond milk are gaining popularity outside of Japan after becoming a hit in its domestic market.
* Some products in the portfolio may be available in Japan only.
■ About Pocky
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 was launched in the Philippines on 8 June 2022 to cater to the evolving consumption pattern and purchasing behavior in Southeast Asia. With growing health consciousness, more and more consumers are seeking healthier choices that are guilt-free. In response to this demand, we added fiber into the pretzel of Pocky, providing additional health benefits. Furthermore, we have introduced wholewheat into the pretzel, resulting in a lighter and crispier texture. To achieve the right balance of sweetness, we have adjusted the cream-to-biscuit ratio, enhancing the unique aroma of the chocolate flavors while maintaining a rich and smooth taste.

About PICKUP COFFEE
In 2022, PICKUP COFFEE was launched with the intent to make specialty coffee more accessible. Its value proposition was clear as day: high-quality beverages, at a fraction of the usual cost. Gone are the days where Filipinos have to spend over PHP100 to get a great cup of specialty coffee. With PICKUP, beverage prices start at PHP50 — with nothing over PHP100 (inclusive of UPsizes, exclusive of UPgrades).
Within just a few months, this home-grown coffee company grew exponentially, expanded in both Manila and Cebu, with 87 operating stores to date. On top of this, PICKUP COFFEE ultimately aims to pick everyone up. Just as its tagline, “NEED A PICK-UP? PICKUP COFFEE” suggests.
