Kopiko candy last month launched Kopiko Focus Coffee candy and is "revolutionizing how people consume caffeine," per a press release sent to NACS. "For decades, coffee has only been consumed as a liquid. Kopiko Focus Coffee changes that. Made from 76 volcanic coffee beans, just two pieces deliver the same caffeine boost as a cup of coffee, with 80mg of natural caffeine. It’s compact, portable and mess-free, and was designed to meet the needs of modern, fast-moving consumers. No spills. No long lines at the coffee shop. Just pure focus. This is coffee, but harder," the company said.
