What’s Trending in the Exotic Snack Industry – Hot Items & Future Faves

The exotic snack market continues to evolve rapidly in 2025, and InOutSnackz is always staying ahead of the trend. From bold new flavours to limited-edition collabs, here are some of the top trending topics and hot new products shaping the global snack scene—and what’s just landed (or about to land) at InOutSnackz.

1. Collaboration Drops are Bigger Than Ever

Brand collabs are hotter than ever. Big names are teaming up with pop culture icons, gaming franchises, and fashion labels. For example, the Super Mario Mystery Pringles from Germany is a perfect example of nostalgic fandom and limited edition crunch. Customers are collecting snack collabs like trading cards.

Upcoming collabs we're eyeing:

• Pokémon-themed chocolate kits from Korea
• Japan-exclusive anime soda tie-ins
• Cereal collabs like Cinnamon Toast Crunch Ice Cream Bars

2. Ultra Rare Imports: The New Collector’s Items

People aren’t just eating snacks anymore—they’re collecting them. The packaging, rarity, and exclusivity are part of the appeal. Recent drops like the Twix Strawberry Pie and Twix Key Lime Pie from Brazil or Snickers Coffee from Australia are flying off the shelves.

At InOutSnackz, we’ve noticed:

• Customers asking for limited flavours from one-off shipments
• Repeat buys for discontinued or seasonal items
• Increased engagement with packaging that looks cool on social media

3. DIY Kits Are Making a Comeback

Interactive snack kits are huge in 2025. The rise of DIY chocolate kits, like the one we just received from South Korea where you can build your own Pokémon-themed treat, blends snacking and creativity.

Perfect for:

• Gifting
• Family fun
• TikTok content

Searches for DIY snack kits have tripled since 2024, especially among younger shoppers.

4. Asian Spicy Snacks = Viral Gold

We’ve already seen a spike in interest for ultra-spicy snacks from Japan and Korea. Newcomers like Doritos XXTRA Flamin' Hot from Japan and Super Spicy Mania Corn Snack Red Red Chili Pepper are breaking the internet.

Expect to see:

• More limited-edition spicy snacks
• TikTok challenges around imported heat
• Flavour mashups (chili + citrus, or chili + cheese)

5. What’s New at InOutSnackz

These are some hot new drops we’re excited about:

• 12+ Flavours of Pringles from Germany (including Sweet Paprika, Passport Moroccan Style, and Super Mario Mystery)
• Brazilian Twix Pies (Strawberry & Key Lime)
• Snickers Coffee (Australia)
• DIY Pokémon Chocolate Kit (Korea)

All of these items are available now or arriving soon at InOutSnackz.
