Upon entering the store, visitors are greeted by a cylindrical counter and displays of the new products, “glo(TM) Hilo” and “glo(TM) Hilo Pro.” The striking design, evoking the smoking experience of “glo(TM) Hilo,” drew many visitors to stop and gaze upon them intently.

The “Sparkler Chocolate” was the most eye-catching item. The playful taste of the chocolate, which crackled and popped in your mouth, drew smiles and gasps of amazement from the audience.
