What are Nokkomo mints? They are a fizzy solution to a problem stoners have been dealing with forever: Dry mouth, also known as cotton mouth. Michael Moran and his brother Daniel were smoking on the beach one day when cotton mouth came creeping, and they had the idea of creating a pocket-sized solution.
The research and development were a family affair. Michael and Daniel’s father was instrumental in shaping the packaging and branding of the Nokkomo penguin. Pops’ graphic design background was a secret weapon used to bring the product to life.
What started with over nine different flavors was eventually whittled down to the best four flavors: strawberry, lemon, watermelon, and passionfruit. Michael and Daniel used their friends and family as guinea pigs to nail down the best flavors for their initial release.
How Nokkomo Mints Work and Where to Find Them
Nokkomo mints are called “mouth-watering mints” for a reason; from the second they hit your tongue, the mint quickly fizzes away, filling your mouth with thirst-quenching foam. It’s a fun, flavorful product that has a specific advantage over other products in the cannabis space. Nokkomo mints are non-psychoactive, but they’re directly involved in the cannabis market space. This gives them a lot of leeway when it comes to marketing on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. The brand is using this advantage for a TikTok-centered marketing strategy.
In-person testimonials are a tried-and-true method of selling products, and they work especially well with a product like fizzy mints. The product elicits a Pop-Rocks-like reaction from people who try it, and it’s something you can enjoy whether you like cannabis or not.
“It’s just so easy to make organic content now, that’s our main driver,” Michael said.
Michael said a “mint” flavor is on the way with an eventual expansion into other kinds of products. But the primary goal is to make sure the mints are easily available in lounges all around the country.
Nokkomo has found its way into several cannabis lounges already, specifically, Sessions By the Bay, which is located south of San Diego in National City. Expansion across the country is already underway, with Florida secured and New Jersey in the works.
It’s a novel product that solves a niche issue, a problem I didn’t even know I needed a solution for.
It’s nice to know you have a dry mouth solution waiting in your car or gym bag after you forget your water bottle, which, for me, is all the time.
