Marketing

The slogan for Chocopunch, targeting juveniles, is "Chocopunch! Punch! Punch!" (which has the same meaning in both Spanish and English). The name Chocopunch has a double meaning in Spanish, ''choco'' is short for chocolate, of course, but the word ''chocó'' means "surprise" or "shock," a powerful word in advertising. A key promotional aspect of Chocopunch over the years has been, packaged with the product, colorful plastic ''cucharitas'' (mini spoons), in the shapes of different characters from movies, television, and video games, that are collected like prizes. Several licensed series of mini spoons have been introduced including: Bakugan Battle Brawlers (2011), Barney (TV), Choko (Winter's brand cartoon character), Digimon, Dinos (2003), Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z second series (2011), two different series of El Chavo (TV), Garfield, ''La Era de Hielo 3'' (2009, ''Ice Age 3'', film), Looney Tunes, ''The Mask'' (film), Patacloun, Pokémon, Popeye (1992–93), Power Rangers, Rugrats, ''Spider-Man 3'' (film), SpongeBob SquarePants, ''Los Caballeros del Zodiaco'' (Saint Seiya), ''Star Wars'' (film), ''Tengo 2'', and Tom and Jerry.
