We’re all about the throwback. Our company strives to bring nostalgic childhood experiences among older audiences or creating new experiences with younger ones. With the revival of the lo-fi 8-bit aesthetic mixed with the contemporary resource of insects for protein, Byxies is a familiar experience that we’ve missed, made from the past and created for the future.

Byxies are a mulberry filled yogurt covered snack, mixed with the Bombyx Mori moth’s pupae, also known as the silkworm. This protein filled snack hardly tastes anything like worms though, and more like the plant that the pupae feeds on! Hence the scientific name, The name Byxies comes from the word “Bombyx” and “bites,” as these snacks are pixel-sized bites of sweetness!

Due to livestock increasing our carbon footprint, scientists and brands have started thinking about incorporating entomophagy into our diets.

We are trying to achieve a de-stigmatization by creating a product that contains bugs (silkworms.) We will make a product that is tasteful, playful in design, and that caters to young, curious, or adventurous audiences. This is why our product is advertised as a fruit and protein filled yogurt bite, and in colorful packaging.

With our endearing mascot, bold purple color palette, and sweet taste is heavily catered towards children, particularly ones that love video games and technology. The nostalgic aesthetic to early computer pixel games and similar feel to other late yogurt fruit snacks would also cater to the ever-curious young adults missing a taste of childhood.

Nope! Our snacks do not taste like silkworms, but rather have the slightest hint of its flavor-profile, which is the smooth, buttery taste and mouthfeel that compliments well with the fruit and yogurt goodness.
