For the first few weeks of programming, Robot Charlie will be dispensing interactive lollipops from Amos Sweets.

The interactive lollipops come in two forms:

• The first being audio lollipops ($14) in the flavours Blueberry and Strawberry, which play rock music and hip hop music respectively.
• The second variation is recordable lollipops ($18 to 28), which allows customers to record their voice and play it aloud, or even record Christmas greetings – an ideal gift for your loved ones during the festive season. These are available in the flavours Peach, Shimmering Strawberry, Strawberry Sparkle and Cupid’s Kiss.

From 4 to 8 December at 1pm, shoppers can play a game of ‘Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!’ with Robot Charlie to win instant rewards. They can simply follow City Square Mall’s Facebook and snap the falling snowflakes fitted on the screen. By presenting their photo to the staff on-site, shoppers will be rewarded with a mystery gift. 

In line with City Square Mall’s positioning as Singapore’s first eco-mall, Robot Charlie will also be giving out a reusable carrot bag as one of the prizes for the game, encouraging shoppers to embrace sustainability by reducing the use of plastic bags.
