The passing of the years and the success accumulated by Pokémon As a franchise, they led to a diversification that resulted in a series of products of all kinds that have attracted the interest of fans. Within this scene there are usually products that fetch high prices for various factors, but on certain occasions these situations are as surprising as what has happened in Japan with popsicles, whose promotion has driven fans crazy to the point that there is a resale of wooden sticks.
Surely on some occasion you had the opportunity to win something on the top of a drink or on the packaging of some fried foods or cakes. Back then, it was enough to go to the store, claim the prize and continue consuming with the excitement of winning again. Well, this simple description does not apply if it is about Pokémon In Japan, the launch of a line of Garigari-kun popsicles inspired by the franchise has unleashed a wave of resale of sticks thanks to the prize that includes some pieces.
According to a report by Sora News, some of the popsicles from Pokémon Garigari-kun are awarded and those lucky enough who after tasting the product confirm they realized the surprise can request a card of the mythical Pokémon Zarude, which will have an important role in the film Pokémon Coco. Well, noting that the promotion was a success, some buyers enjoyed their ice lolly but instead of claiming the prize, they put the sticks, with a description of “little use”, in second-hand sales sites and some were sold for $ 472 USD.
Interestingly, there were fans of Pokémon who claimed the prize and put the Zarude card up for sale, but it did not reach a high price. For some strange reason, or perhaps a second resale attempt, it seems that those who buy the sticks want to have the full experience of claiming the prize and seeing the card arrive at their home.
