“Babybel has always been about bringing joy to snack time, and there is no better way to do that than by teaming up with Pokémon, a franchise that has captured the hearts of fans across multiple generations,” said a spokesperson from Bel Brands Australia.

“Combining the Pokémon franchise with Babybel is a great way to create excitement for fans of both brands and to appeal to both youngsters as well as their parents who grew up with Pokémon.

“Together, we’re looking to deliver a delicious and entertaining way for fans to enjoy both worlds and to turn every Babybel moment into a tasty adventure.”
