30 g single pouches of marshmallow-like jelly in kid-friendly flavors (e.g., Strawberry / Blueberry). Standard pack plan in Korea is 16 units per inner and 12 inners per master (192 units)—a perfect size for convenience, school stores, party packs, and subscription boxes.

What it is
A bite-size “marshmallow jelly” with a uniquely soft, bouncy chew—lighter than gummy, softer than marshmallow—in 30 g single-serve pouches. Current KR listings show Strawberry (barcode 8809248770698) and Blueberry (barcode 8809248770681) variants. Typical KR aisle price signals hover around ₩700 per 30 g single.

Why it sells (retail & e-commerce)
1. Texture novelty — the “marshmallow-meets-jelly” mouthfeel broadens appeal beyond standard gummies.
2. Impulse-perfect — 30 g singles fit checkout pegs and lunchbox add-ons; easy to bundle in 16-count inners.
3. Kid-safe portioning — small pouches make parental approval and school distribution simple.
4. Program flexibility — 192-unit masters align with small pilots and seasonal endcaps without over-buying.
