Aside from the Pokemon ice cream, Baskin Robbins customers can also purchase the “Pokemon Double Cup” which includes two scoops of ice cream in a Pokemon-themed cup, the “Pokemon Special Set” which is a themed box with different ice cream, and “Pikachu’s Glittering Jelly Soda” which is an ice cream based milkshake. Customers will also get a free random Pokemon sticker for every Double Cup purchased.
The merchandise contains artwork of Pikachu as well as the three Pokemon Generation 9 starter Pokemon: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly.
I have to say, of all the flavors I’d figured Pikachu would taste like, I never thought it would be pineapple. Granted I haven’t thought much about what an electric rodent would taste like in general but I suppose it fits the yellow coloring of Pokemon’s adorable mascot.
The latest Pokemon title, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is available for the Nintendo Switch.
