Exploring Convenience Store New Products Weekly

Every week, convenience stores release about 100 new products, totaling around 5,000 annually. This fact is astonishing, yet many consumers stick to familiar items like rice balls and instant noodles, missing a chance for new experiences. It's been suggested that after turning 19, people start to feel life goes by too quickly due to fewer new experiences. The host of this exploration, ‘Punyaritan’, proposes living off only new releases from convenience stores to extend the sensation of time. This initiative was realized through a day of sampling only new items from different stores. The first stop was Lawson, where the host discovered limited new products and had to visit a second location. The segment covers their culinary journey through various new items at Lawson and FamilyMart, showcasing their enjoyment while reflecting on how unfamiliar flavors can make meals exciting. The exploration continues through a winter setting, leading to mixed experiences including festive vibes mirrored in the food selections. As the day culminates, Punyaritan celebrates the variety of new tastes, noting how this lifestyle could make personal time feel elongated and joyous.
