Glico developed 147;Pocky;, launched in 1966, based on the idea of chocolate coating used on the popular Pretz range.
Glicos products enjoy great popularity among all generations, anytime, anywhere.
Glico is constantly expanding the range of its hit products such as 147;Pocky;, Pretz, Caplico, Bisco and Almond Choco to meet changing market needs.
The company name, Glico, is derived from a shortening of the word glycogen.
The Glico 300 meter running man trademark is also derived from the original caramel candy: the candy is 15.4kcal, which is enough energy to run exactly 300 meters.
It bears the Glico running man on a blue race track as well as some of Osaka's other famous landmarks in the background.
