CARROLTON, TX — On the heels of its reinvigorated partnership with longtime creative collaborator Inventionland, Jokari International has debuted its latest collection of kitchen gadgets and tools. The goods also feature the company’s new logo and updated packaging, also designed with Inventionland and under the guidance of Jokari’s CEO, Don Saller.
In addition, as forecasted earlier this year, Saller has secured several new licensing partnerships with beverage and food related brands, including Kellogg’s.
Among the new Kellogg’s licensed products is a cookie dunker that features Ernie the Keebler elf; an Eggo syrup server; Fruit Loops cereal box and a Pringles travel container.
According to the company, the cookie dunker features a twisty straw that holds a cookie for dunking in a glass of milk. Ernie the Keebler Elf sits on the edge of the glass when the straw is not in use.
The new Pringles travel container holds a serving of chips and features a flip-top lid with snap closure.
Meanwhile, the licensed Kellogg’s Eggo Waffle syrup server is microwavable and holds four servings of syrup. It requires 30 seconds to heat up in the microwave.
Jokari’s new licensed Fruit Loop cereal box is a portable container that holds 1 1/4 cups of cereal. It has a flip-top with snap close and can be used in lunch boxes or for other on-the-go situations. The front of the container is designed to resemble the front of a Fruit Loop box of cereal.
Jokari has also rolled out non-licensed products. The wine pump stopper is designed to remove air from opened bottles of wine to help preserve freshness. The wine saver seals in freshness and self opens to pour and aerate wine, before sealing itself when the bottle sits upright.
As for kitchen-specific items, Jokari’s new milk spout features a no-spill pour, re-seal lid and easily screws onto milk containers. According to the company, the product has been designed to work faster and easier than caps, making it a benefit to consumers with arthritis.
The banana hook is designed to attach under a cabinet and hangs bananas to help them ripen evenly. Jokari stated that this process helps to make bananas last longer. In addition, when the hook is not in use, it can be flipped up and out of sight.
