Myna Snacks, the better-for-you snack brand launched by Twitch streamer Imane Anys (also known as Pokimane) and CPG veteran Darcey Macken, created three limited-batch cookie flavors inspired by its vibrant community of snackers and gamers.
Lemon Yuzu, Blueberry Bliss and Rice Crispy Crunch came straight from the Snack Lab on Myna Snacks' website, which lets users submit an idea with a unique shape, flavor profile, texture and toppings.
This limited-batch cookie trio will be distributed to Myna Snack Club subscription members for free as part of their membership, and their feedback will help to decide which flavors are commercialized at scale. When providing their feedback through a survey, community members will also help with naming the products.
