### Developer Comments
**Mana Yamamoto, Product Development Department, Health Innovation Division**
'The new Papico was developed with a focus on the rich sweetness, fragrant aroma, and smooth texture typical of mangoes by using ripe Alphonso mango puree. We balanced this with the unique Papico deliciousness, adding banana, apple, and lemon juice as hidden ingredients to create depth in flavor while maintaining a light aftertaste. We hope this tropical flavor helps you feel bright and refreshed as summer approaches.'
**Hideto Masuda, Health Marketing Department, Health Innovation Division**
'Following our popular fruit flavors, we are launching Mango, which is perfect for the coming season. We selected mango based on considerations of seasonal trends and high demand. It is a product we want you to enjoy in various scenes, such as during the daytime as it gets hotter, or between work and chores. We would be happy if Papico supports your refreshment and gives you that extra push to keep going.'
