This year marks GODIVA’s 90th anniversary. As part of this summer’s interactive campaign “Twist Summer Surprises,” a special gashapon machine is available exclusively at nine designated stores across Taiwan. Spend NT$800 and then an additional NT$120 to exchange for one GODIVA token, which is required to play the gashapon machine. Prizes include ice cream, chocolate soft serve, chocolate frozen drinks, and charms from the 2016 Duette collection. Even the gashapon capsules themselves are made of specially customized metal material by GODIVA. Additionally, collect four electronic stamps included with the prizes to receive a limited-edition keychain. The campaign runs from May 26 to June 30.

At designated GODIVA Taiwan branches (SOGO Fuxing Store, Breeze Nanjing Store, Breeze Plaza Store, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Xinyi Store, EDSA Shangri-La Mall Tainan Store, Far Eastern Department Store Taichung Store, Far Eastern Department Store Banqiao Store, Mitsui Outlet Park, and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Hsinchu Store), spend NT$800 and you can exchange NT$120 for one GODIVA token. Up to four tokens can be purchased per receipt. The gashapon prizes not only feature designs commemorating the 90th anniversary but also include four types of summer-themed charms: ice cream, chocolate soft serve, chocolate frozen drinks, and 2016 Duette.
