Postcards made to advertise the "Give Me Pinky" campaign hosted back in (2000)!

There were three different ways to enter the giveaway, either through the internet, mobile phones, or by sending the postcard itself!

Prize A was a set of Pinky Monkey & Fresh Monkey plushies (limited to 10,000 winners), while Prize B was a mobile phone strap of either Pinky Monkey or Fresh Monkey (limited to 90,000 winners)!

For nearly every Pinky Monkey commercial, the website includes a fun story based on what happens in each one! This one is for the Pinky Monkey CM (2000)!

✧ Fresh Monkey - Character Profile ✧ Meet Fresh Monkey, the mascot for Pinky's minty flavors! Fresh is mainly characterized by his bright blue bandana scarf, and shining starry eyes.

From the commercials, Fresh appears to be friendly, carefree, and quite ditzy.

Additionally, Fresh seems to enjoy activities like eating, traveling, driving, and spending time with Pinky Monkey.

Listed below is Fresh Monkey's character profile taken from the official Pinky website during 2002.

Unfortunately, this seems to be the full extent of Fresh Monkey's character profiles. Compared to Pinky Monkey, aspects like Fresh's height, weight, birthday, star sign, blood type, and favorite foods seem to have been lost to time. (Hopefully, with further digging, we can at least discover his birthday! Any "new" information will be later added to this post.)

Nowadays, Fresh Monkey has become the main mascot for Japan's Pinky Fresh revival (2020)!

Sold in local convenience stores and drugstores, Pinky Fresh is intended to make you feel refreshed while keeping your gums healthy. In most promotional material, Fresh Monkey can often be seen alongside toothbrushes and a series of sparkles.

♡ Pinky Monkey - Character Profile ♡

Say "hi" to Pinky Monkey, the mascot for Pinky's fruity flavors! Despite often sharing the spotlight with Fresh Monkey, it's not difficult to see that Pinky was intended to be the company's primary mascot (the brand is quite literally called Pinky, after all)!

From the commercials, Pinky has been shown to be friendly, kind-hearted, generous, and extremely ditzy.

Additionally, Pinky appears to enjoy things like eating delicious food (mainly fruits), traveling, biking, picking flowers, and spending time with friends.

Personally, I find the Gender section to be the most intriguing part here. Beforehand, I had simply assumed that Pinky Monkey was female due to the numerous instances where Pinky Monkey and Fresh Monkey appear to be romantically involved. However, imagine my surprise once I saw the updated character profile during 2006.

It seems like Pinky Monkey's gender was "changed" during this time period. Therefore, I will be referring to Pinky Monkey with (she/her) pronouns from now on.

Aside from these character profiles, not much else is known about Pinky Monkey. However, it should be noted that a short film about her background does exist! It's titled "The Day Pinky Monkey was Born" and was produced by Kenji Eno in 2006.
