Pop Japan

Gari Gari Kun is a popular brand of ice popsicles in Japan. The name literally means "Mr. Crunchy." It is available in most groceries and convenience stores in the country. 

Gari Gari Kun is produced by the company, Akagi. It has been around since 1981. Its mascot is a young boy with an unusually large mouth.

The main flavor of Gari Gari Kun is soda. But there are many other flavors to choose from, including Yuzu, Pineapple, and Kiwi. There are also more unusual varieties such as Cream Puff and Neapolitan Spaghetti.

Be sure to get a Gari Gari Kun on a sweltering hot summer day if you’re in Japan!
